Yep. My freshman year, we had an unusually high number of girls sign independent at the end of rush. Many of them ended up pledging or rushing again their sophomore year.
I just really wish girls would think about it more . I can kinda hear the grumblings of "I only want ____ or nothing!", not so much from my group, but from talking to the other PX's, it's there. That's gotta be nipped in the butt right now.
Plus we've got misinformation going around that's reached the greek life adviser. Apparently, someone started a rumor about how sororities will be unable to take pledge classes if they are caught drinking in front of PNM's. Not true. Actives are not allowed to drink in any situation where PNM's or potential PNM's are present (fraternity rush parties, house parties unaffiliated w/ the sorority, etc). It's a violation of a) campus policy--dry campus. b) rush rules--no alcohol at any rush function/anything that could be a potential rush situation c) panhellenic rules of interaction w/ pnms--possiblity of dirty rushing is high. It won't *necessarily* cause a chapter to lose its pledge class, but it will be dealt with as an infraction and sent to the United Greek Governing Board. There will be sanctions, but the loss of a pledge class is one of the most severe punishments that can be given, and isn't a situation that's taken lightly.
