Be careful what you say. Even the stupidest comments can get taken to heart. A PNM dropped from recruitment this year because a sorority girl called her a dork. In context (we were hearing this as Rho Chi's, after the fact,and without first-hand knowledge) it wasn't really offensive, but the PNM still took it that way.
I was a Rho Chi more than once and one of my pet peeves was for PNM's to badmouth sororities. I always explained that it was ok to say they didn't see themselves in XYZ but that I wasn't going to have them saying things like "XYZ are losers/sluts/drunks/etc.". But then sororities would do it about each other! We have a good Panhellenic atmosphere on our campus, except during formal recruitment. It really undermined our efforts to help the PNM's remain Panhellenic-minded, and it makes the sororities involved look really bad.
