Weirdly, it was VERY common for both the PNMs and the Sisters to ask these type of questions, albeit very candidly, during (rush) when I was an active. One of my best friends from another chapter was cut from her legacy chapter - where her grandmother had been a founder, and both aunts & her mother were sisters - because she hadn't been to Europe yet! Worse, they TOLD her grandmother the reason! But it all worked out well, as she became an ADPi!
Similarly, the worst PNM I can remember dropped the F-bomb during a party. So many sisters were so upset that, even though she got a bid, our chapter was torn in half over her - and she never did get initiated!
So, if you think Recruitment is tough now, it used to be even more restrictive!
