If it is formal recruitment, then it is in bad taste, and quite possibly a recruitment infraction, depending on the campus. If it is informal recruitment, then honestly, I have no problem with it. Informal recruitment is about bringing a chapter up to total, and about attracting girls who might not want to rush to go greek. Rules like not being allowed to talk to certain people or friending them on facebook are the kind of thing that turn some girls off from rushing, so why apply those rules to informal recruitment and risk losing some great potential members over a silly rule or rivalry?
This reminds me of that YouTube video from Northwestern where the girl makes fun of FR by talking about how she accidentally took a napkin out and the other girl who was told to spit out her mint. Yeah, the rules get a little ridiculous at times.... But coming from a slightly struggling chapter and having been a Rho Gam, I can see how in some instances they are necessary.
