And while everyone is worrying about putting things in facebook that make you appear too loose or whatever, it can also go the other way...there are some schools where if you come across as too much of a prude you can kiss a bid goodbye. That doesn't mean the women at that school are any different than the ones at a school where you have to worry endlessly about your reputation...maybe they're just a little more honest.

Thank you for saying this. My chapter has always highly encouraged sisters to go out together to parties, fraternity houses, etc. right before Recruitment because of this. There are lots of freshman girls (in fact, some of the most sought-after PNMs) who want to join a sorority for social reasons. Yes, my sisters are the ones I've shed tears with and done community service with, but they're also the ones I've taken shots with and stayed out all night with. Although you certainly don't want to turn off more conservative PNMs by making it seem like partying is all you have to offer, I don't want a girl to mark my sorority off her list because we make it seem like we never go out and have fun.
