Even if they are in separate groups, you can still find yourself with 2 girls who consider themselves a "package deal."

Usually the twosome will break up as soon as one of them decides to take recruitment seriously and stops trying to end up in the same sorority as the other one.

Here's a good story about that from my Big (who was a PX):

One time, there were 2 roomies who were rushing, named Jane and Katie. When rush started, these 2 had it plaaned out that they were going to get bids to the same chapter and be sisters. They had it planned out that they would only go to the parties to which they were BOTH invited.

Katie even told a sister during a party: "My roomie Jane says that she, like, has you guys on her schedule later. I hope you guys like her because we REALLY, like, want to be in the same, like, sorority on bid night. I like, won't join a sorority if Jane doesn't get a bid there too."

Jane said the SAME thing about her at a different sorority, so word got around that these two were a package deal. Everybody seemed to like Jane alot better though because Katie was a little obnoxious.

Well, when it came time for girls to get invites back, the 2 girls had completely different results. Jane had a full schedule (4), while Katie only had ONE sorority left.

When they got back to the dorm, Jane was totally excited about the next round. Katie says "OMG I can't wait for us to be XYZ's (the only sorority she was asked back to) together. Did you tell your Rho Chi that you're only going to XYZ tomorrow?" Jane who had started to think that doing rush "together" was a bad idea, said "I dunno, I kinda want to go back to my other 3 too."

Katie was so upset and mad at Jane for wanting to go to her full schedule instead of only going to XYZ with her. She dropped out of recruitment the next day. Jane finished recruitment and ended up getting a bid to her top choice.

In the spring, Katie attended COB at Jane's sorority, hoping that they could still be sisters. She didn't get a bid. It proved to be too much for their friendship because Katie moved out soon after.
