Hi Hmmm, thanks for doing your best to explain a somewhat complicated system to the poor sheep that just went through recruitment. Honestly for a bunch of smart ladies I am not sure why anyone thought it wasn't worth it to explain some of this upfront to the poor pnms? I was so curious about this COB process that has everyone up in arms so today I called national panhel. I was told that the COB process is a local issue and so our wonderful sisters in panhel have the ability to change it if they want. I'm not sure what the average annual dollar "value" of a pledge is to a given house but pick a number in the range of $2,000. If this number is close (excluding hard costs etc.) then the houses just received a sizable influx of cash and so can spend $1,000 to get an incremental $2-6,000 in extra funds per year or however much depending on how many spots they need to fill. I also think there should be one standard for COB and not the mish mash that seems to be the case. The sense I am getting from seeing what has been going on is that the system is loosely run and functions as if you just had 300 people go through recruitment and NOT 1,000. I am also not sure any recruitment where nearly 200 dropped can be deemed a success. Its great to see some of the large classes this year but the drop rate reflected poorly on us all unfortunately.
