In a deffered situation like Otterbein has, where rush isn't until January...this comes up a lot. We are NOT allowed to invite unaffiliated, did not rush/ has no intention of ever rushing sophomore women into our house AT ALL, ever, just on the *off chance* they *might* get the inkling to rush. My roommate and I were going to the store, and I had to run to the sorority house and get my keys...my poor roommate had to stand outside in the cold while I went inside. My roommate will rush when they manufacture ice cubes in hell.

But for women who become close to freshmen, it gets very sticky...because you are friends fall quarter, and then winter quarter, BAM! Nothing. One of my sisters got invited to dinner with a *Group* of people, men, women, PNM's, etc...and she sat and ate dinner with them at an off campus restaurant. Everyone bought their own. No talk of rush was made. But someone began crying "dirty rushing" on us. Fortunately, the complaint has to be filed by the PNM, not the sorority that thinks it happened, within 24 hrs. Otherwise, it would turn into a witch hunt.
