I agree colonization should be explored at some point in the not too distant future. But I honestly believe that it makes no sense to colonize without a deep and thoughtful look at where we are today with our panhel and the issues surrounding fall recruitment. Colonizing without prior change simply adds another house and more people into a system that many will agree is broken and not working for many people looking to enter the community. We also need to be honest about the issues pnms felt during recruitment and realize that these things did happen. As a community, I feel that we need to agree or not that diversity is important and realize the challenges faced by minorities and first generation people in entering the system. But, most importantly each house has to be the best that they can be and be thriving before another house is added. So many of the posts here asked for transparency in recruitment and also asked for oversight from outside the system. It was shocking how many people disagreed with publishing numbers. I wonder why? The general consensus, rightly or wrongly, is that recruitment was cooked and certain houses had picked their classes in advance of events and so felt perfectly entitled to brutally cut in early rounds. There is no way to know the truth of this conjecture without data. Also, our panhel leadership needs to look in the mirror. Respectfully the AOPi members need to leave panhel so we can get on with the business at hand which is serious
