No. Rush is about choreography. I am taking you to the sun porch because that is my designated spot, and it's where I take everyone I rush. Last year, I was staked out in the date room, and next year maybe I'll be in the foyer. It means nothing.

Complete lane swerve, but I was told anecdotally by close friends that this was the case in at least two sororities at the school I went to, one a "top tier" and one a "middle tier". Comments were more or less to the extent of, "I was really nervous because they are assigning me to rush in the __________ room, and that's where the girls we really want are taken," or "Knowing what I know now, I was surprised I got a bid because in retrospect they put me in the __________ room on the first day." So while I can't tell you for sure, these comments clearly seemed to indicate that some chapters at my school do pre-evaluate you to some extent and PNMs are "filtered" (for lack of a better word) to be in certain areas or meet the "best" rushers. I remember thinking how crazy organized and pre-destined it seemed at the time, and it really stuck with me. These weren't PNMs, these were girls who had gone through rush on their side multiple times so it seemed much more concrete than an urban legend.
