Rush, they cannot affiliate with their respective orgs. Meaning that they can't wear letters, or state that they are members of a specific GLO, nor can their respective GLOs claim them as members until after bid night. This, I think is to ensure that the potential pledges are not influenced to prefer one organization over the other because of who their Rush Counselor is or isn't.

If I'm wrong about any of this, would someone from one of the NPC orgs. on GC please correct me?

They cannot reveal their sorority, so they remain neutral and don't influence their PNMs, and that is why their faces are covered on chapter websites. Their affiliations are revealed once recruitment is over, on Bid Day.
