It's a personal opinion that I'm sure a PNM won't confuse with the thoughts of another sorority at another campus. There are some people who need pep talks along the way. I'm not one of them, but my bio sister called home crying after signing her bid card. While I thought she was silly, who am I to tell her that her feelings are not valid. One positive word can make the difference to a hurting girl who isn't sure what to do. If Soliloquy wants to give it another try, more power to her. She WOULD make a great asset. That does not mean she will actually get a bid, but she definitely never would if she didn't try.
Not necessarily a vote, but I have heard of GC members influencing a PNM's rush by contacting their own sisters at the campus the PNM is rushing at.

I myself have never done such a thing...but as most of you already know, there are GCers who will stop at nothing to make sure the PNM doesn't get a bid to their org. Most of the time, they're successful.

That's why I encourage PNMs to keep their mouths shut until AFTER their rush is over! A lot of them can't seem to do so!
