I went to a university with a small Greek community (3 NPC sororities and 3 IFC fraternities) and where there was more mutual respect for each of the chapters on campus. We don't have houses, so we meet in classrooms on campus usually or the student centers. Despite this, almost all chapters were always at total so recruitment was just seen to boost our numbers exponentially since recruitment usually meant that each chapter was adding between 20-25 girls to our numbers.
My sophomore year during our formal Spring rush, during our opening rounds (usually dedicated to sisterhood or just a usual school spirit night) we had a girl come in and text on her phone during our party. She became known as the "texter" and the second we got to drop her, we did. For some reason, when the parties are more casual, the more likely it seems there are opportunities for bad behavior.
My junior year, we had the junior class president come through recruitment. I didn't really like the girl because she was just so in your face about everything (to the point of obnoxiousness). When I talked with her at one of the opening rounds, I discovered that she was only joining a sorority to pad her resume. I told my chapter president, who in turn texted the other chapter presidents during a break about her lofty goals. She was dropped by all three after the first round.
On my campus, because it was so small and the Greeks really stuck together, if you did something rude to one of us, we let all the other chapters know. No one appreciates rudeness, especially since so many of us were friends and even lived with members of other chapters.
