I can say that when I was the recruitment chair for my org about 10 yrs ago, we had a girl go through recruitment who was 16 (she had skipped a few grades) and I know that our panhellenic provided copies of her parents signing off that she was elligible to rush.
Very interesting but I suspect that it varies based on campus/state/etc.?

I just went to the registration site for our campus and it doesn't request anything other than contact information, year in school, GPA, transfer information, legacy information and t-shirt size (oh so important to Greek life ). Perhaps the University is then responsible for making sure that all registered PNMs are either legal or have consent - I do not know. Only the information collected during registration is distributed to each chapter (in which case, going back to the original post, members on my campus wouldn't necessarily know a PNM's age during recruitment).

If someone knows of an official Panhel policy regarding parental consent for minors, I would be interested in learning what it is.
