I do agree with you that high school often doesn't say jack squat about what a person was like in college. Yeah, maybe Susie was the head of SADD and model legislature and heaven knows what else...maybe 1) she was also only doing it because her parents forced her and 2) the groups themselves were jokes. The thing at a lot of the huger chapters though, is that they often have members that went to this or that high school and can confirm that Teens Against Tobacco Use was a joke (against tobacco, not marijuana).

I'm being nebby, but you opened the door. What DO you vote pledges out for? Like I said before if you've had 2 weeks worth of rush (and I assume no silence or no-contact rules) and you STILL can't suss out the real person, what on earth are you looking at?? Especially since (it would seem) your potential membership pool is so much smaller than the NPCs.
