I am a PNM, I have one Rho Chi all throughout recruitment. During the first round, my Rho Chi comes to the first recruitment party with me and all of the other girls in my “PNM group”. The next round, I get invited back to all three chapters, but my friend Hopeful Holly, who is in my PNM grouping from the first day, only gets invited back to two. She has the same Rho Chi as myself, and I have to go to one more party than her. My Rho Chi brings the same group of girls to all of the parties, and we all have the same schedule, in terms of what times we are to be at each chapter. But since Hopeful Holly wasn’t invited back to the second party that my PNM group has scheduled that day, she will attend the first party with us, have a break (for as long as that second party lasts), and will then attend the last party with myself, our Rho Chi, and the rest of the PNM group.

This is similar to how it worked at my campus. The PNM would travel with her group, if she didn't get invited to a party she would go to the assigned break room and chill for a while. The Rho Chi (Rho Gamma, Pi Chi, whatever)never acutally attended the party, just dropped off the girls at the door.
As for picking the Pi Chis, Panhellenic would create an application and then select a certain number of girls from each sorority to be Pi Chis. They would disaffiliate during the summer.
If I were you, I would contact the local Alumnae Panhellenic. There are bound to be some ladies from other schools that used the formal method and they might be able to help out!
