As a former Pan officer and having done office hours in the Pan office... I can tell you there is a lot of human error that takes place.

Back in the day, the applications for recruitment were hard copy... none of this new-fangled online stuff. Panhellenic verfied GPA's and SAT scores before making copies of the applications and passing them on to the chapters.

On the application, PNMs were asked to list any sorority affiliations within their families.

If someone listed she was an ABC legacy, the PX's blacked that part out when distributing it to the rest of the chapters. What happened many times is that ABC would get the wrong copy, and ZYX might get the copy intended for ABC-- hence, ABC was unaware of the PNM having an ABC family member and ZYX was. Useless info for ZYX, potentially useful for ABC.

I don't think there is any intentional malice on the part of the Office of Greek Life, or the Panhellenic Officers, but well... s**t happens.

ETA: Another thing that happens... sometimes the PX's are not taught all of the rules of recruitment. I remember a girl who was late for her first party during Round 1. The PX's should have let her into the party, but they assumed since the party had started that she had to sit out. She was cut from that chapter automatically for being a no-show.
