It seems a little funny to say that these are "rules" as if they are at the level and the panhellenic rules that can get your chapter sanctions.
I think it's a really bad idea to talk about any of them and probably most conversations about any will be in poor taste or otherwise offensive.
But, if a PNM brings something up, a reaction of "we're not allowed to talk about that" is going to be far more awkward than just gracefully following up or redirecting.
For example if a PNM told you that she had spent all summer working for the Obama campaign, isn't it going to make her feel more appreciated and welcome to follow up on that statement?
Again, I totally agree that no member should initiate a conversation on those points and should gracefully get out without telling any stories about the chapter or sisters.
I have no idea what someone should say about a boob job. Maybe just a "how wonderful that you can feel your best about yourself" ?
