I will say that, on my small campus, we knew who sophomore PNMs were living with. And it was generally known that one of three things was happening. Either, 1. PNM lived with roommates, liked them, but would probably go anywhere; 2. PNM liked roommates, and was rushing specifically to join one of their sororities; 3. PNM didn't like roommates, probably wouldn't join there. We usually were able to gather this information without ever asking the PNM (yeah, small school, people know things). Our estimations were usually correct (in Sitch 1, PNM would join a sorority, often roommates' [because she knew them best] but not always; #2 would either join XYZ with roomies or drop;#3 would join GLOs other than roomies'), but not always.
In summation: either people will know your situation whether you tell them or not. Or they won't. Just like with freshmen PNMs, As long as you don't ever mention how you think you will be an XYZ, you'll probably be fine.
