Brad: While I believe that structured recruitment can be a little phony at times because the members and potential members are putting on a "happy face" and only showing you their good side, the contact rules are there for important reasons.
If we didn't have these rules:
1) what would stop the GLOs from bad mouthing each other to get members...or stop the potential members from bad mouthing each other so they'll look better?
2) GLO members could offer verbal bids in advance and a lot of potential members would actually end up without bids
3) Rho Chi's could go back to their chapters and tell their members who to keep and who to drop
4) GLOs could break a bunch of recruitment rules and get away with it
Hope that helps!
