Call me crazy, but I don't see how asking all members to memorize information on PNMs, after matching them up carefully, "makes the process easier for everyone involved." If the only questions members think to ask are "What is your major?" and "Where are you from?" it seems they need some help in conversation. The best rushers are those that can have a conversation with anyone; AND it's one of those life-long skills we often brag that our members learn while in a sorority.
Actually, I would have been creeped out if every woman I talked to during rush was like me.
At my school (and when I was there), the sororities received the registration form and a photo supplied by the PNM. But, I know that the members of my chapter did not get to study that information prior to rush. Everything on each day (except preference) was a complete surprise, since the PNMs entered in random order and we often did not know who was returning to our chapter until the couple of minutes before each party.
