Very true. I have known girls who are turned off by certain sororities simply because they are known to hang out with one fraternity all the time.

Maybe a potential member loves your chapter, but she also has a bad association with one of the fraternities, or one of it's members. Let's pretend her ex-boyfriend, with whom she had a particularly messy breakup, is a member. She attends your recruitment party, and half of the people there are brothers of that fraternity. Her ex is there. She might be inclined to walk back out the door. You might not associate with that fraternity 24/7. That might have been the first event that you've ever done together. But to that potential member, it might appear as if you'll constantly be hanging out with them.

Whether it's against the rules or not, I would strongly recommend not involving fraternities in any kind of recruitment activity.
