3173 does an application process, but not nearly to the degree that MORT does. Essentially the students are nominated by their peers with the mentors adding in anyone to the process that they feel has been overlooked. Then we let people consider the options for a few days (we generally nominate on a Tuesday or Thursday and then vote at our meeting on Saturday). The lead 2 or 3 mentors will count the votes and make necessary adjustments in case someone who really should not have been chosen is selected. We have never had an issue with that but it is clear that they reserve the right to do it. I think that the thought that "If I make a joke vote it might get tossed out" is enough to make people just think that they will take their vote seriously.

We have not had an issue so far with this process and having been a leader since my sophomore year in 2011 I have heard from people that they were happy with everything that myself and the other leaders had done for the team.
