Slight hijack...
A few folks have mentioned the idea of PNMs guessing their PX's affiliation and trying to join the sorority they think their PX is in because they like her. When I did my PX training, we did some role-playing where someone would portray a PNM with a particular question or issue, and the PX had to advise her. One of the scenarios I got was a "PNM" who wanted to join AEPhi because she was convinced that I was one and she wanted to be my sister.
My response was, "Well, you have a 1 in 17 chance of being right about my affiliation. And even if you are right, I'd just be one sister among many. Think about all the affiliated sisters you've met, in each sorority. You should feel at home with the whole group, not just one or two people."
(Y'know, come to think of it, a number of my PNMs did go Sigma Kappa...)
