It all depends on the campus. On ours the recruitment counselors are housed in the campus "hotel" which is just an old dorm that family members can rent rooms in for graduation and such. That's just for the week of formal recruitment. The two weeks prior we all live at home except for those that are living on their sorority hall (or with an active, unless they are biological sisters)...they find another recruitment counselor to stay with. Class is always an exception to the silence...I never knew it to happen but if two sorority girls had a group project to work on together, I don't think anyone would ask them not to.

For us, PNMs that knew were told prior to recruitment to keep their mouths shut. I've never personally heard of a PNM who knew going around telling everyone (though I'm sure it's happened)...mostly because if girls really want to know they just have to ask a fraternity guy. I had two PNMs in my group that knew my affiliation both years I was a RC and just told them I would be irked if they told...they didn't.

The bags and purses usually get sorted out but I don't recommend trying that. A few fraternity guys did one year as a joke and there's nothing like a ton of shrieking girls to scare the poo out of you.
