Hotboxing = too many sisters paired with one PNM during recruitment with the intent of making her feel pressured/uncomfortable. Example: PNMs should not be in house rooms with doors shut and like 3 members talking to them telling them to "Pleaaaseee rank Alpha first!"

I think the rule my school followed was no more than 2 sisters to one PNM. During House Tours and Pref, when PNMs were touring the rooms, doors had to be left open at all times. PNMs were NOT to be in rooms with sisters with doors shut.

I'm pretty sure one on one convos can also be considered hotboxing if a PNM is alone in a room and being pressured.

ETA: The official Panhellenic definition:

Members may not participate in “Hot Boxing” during recruitment events. “Hot Boxing” is when there are 2 or more active members engaging in conversation with only 1 potential new member. Additionally, one-on-one conversation between an active member and potential new member cannot occur when there is no one else in the room.
