I have also seen PNMs released for their summer activities-- they come up as first semester freshmen in the summertime. The campus is quiet, but the fraternity houses are still open, there are casual parties and nights out-- but just hanging out at the fraternity houses, I have seen those girls do and say things that has come back to bite them in the butt at recruitment time. And some of the girls probably didn't say or do anything-- they just created an unintentional perception that followed them to recruitment.

I hate to generalize, but you really have blown it if you're a senior in high school and you're already the fraternity house groupie... Guys talk, girls talk, people just start thinking things... High school drama has nothing on college. And the drama exists in the working world, too. You can't escape it. I think people are best off flying in under the radar.

I really think a PNM's best shot is go in as a first semester freshman with a clean, drama-free slate where you don't have any war stories to be shared and everyone sees you as a ladylike superstar with a lot to offer.
