Girls will drop ABC because they're told they have to stand on their head and sing the alphabet backwards during pledging if that's what someone in XYZ told them because "her best friend is an ABC." You can tell girls till you're blue in the face to ignore "tent talk" and rumors but they won't. That's why you don't want people to think you have a pledge class full of skanks--PNM's don't want people to think that they're skanks too because of their affiliation. They may even go so far as to believe that once pledged, they have to sleep with a whole fraternity if someone tells them that's a requirement for joining your sorority.

My favorite is the rumor that I heard when I was going through that "XYZ" circles body parts that the girls need to correct. A year later, my little sis asked me if "AB" sorority circled body parts that the girls need to correct. So, within a year, the sorority that supposedly did this had changed.
Trust me, very few PNM's actually ignore the rumors going around about sororities. I know I didn't. This reminds me of the other thread, "Stupid reasons why you cut a sorority."
