Oh man, I have to admit that if a PNM was spouting off facts to me about my own sorority I would be majorly creeped out.
I agree if you have a previous connection to the philanthropy then it is OK to mention, but don't overdo it. Pretty much anything else I would be really turned off by...founders, creeds/symphonies/mission statements, history, etc.
It's not the knowledge in and of itself, but more the fact that in NPC recruitment (unlike NPHC, for example) research on a sorority is not required at all. So the fact that somebody "did their research" would come off as the PNM trying to manipulate the chapter to giving them a bid.
In theory I guess it SHOULD be commendable to the PNM for doing the research and complimentary to the chapter that the PNMs care so much. However in practice, since 99.99% of the PNMs are not talking about those details, it will come off stalkerish and manipulative to at least enough members that it may hurt your chances.
