Ex: if you're coming here asking "do I need recs? where do I get them from? what do I wear?" in like mid-June, you're not going to be as prepared as Suzy who has friends who have rushed at the same school, plenty of rec connections, etc. and doesn't have to ask those questions. And you probably are less likely to get a bid.
Does that make sense?

This. PNMs who have family and social circle histories of being Greek don't need to go looking for advice on the intarwebz. If you know Greeks and/or are familiar with the school, you already have the resources.
I also think we do get a larger than usual proportion of PNMs who are simply awkward disasters and wouldn't do well in most highly social situations.
