This is kind of in response to everyone's comment that you don't really get to know the PNMs during rush. Well my experience was that I didn't feel like I knew my house well enough. Somebody posted that they met someone who they thought was so-so and ended up being a great leader on campus. My experience was that my chapter seemed extremely fake and snobby to me. I didn't think I'd fit into what seemed like a "face house." I got a horrible impression from them and was pretty disappointed when I saw them on my bid card. Bid night was awesome, it was one of the best nights of my freshman year. Suddenly all the girls had taken down their "rush masks" and were fun, goofy and NORMAL. I talked to my pledge mom about it and she said that they got a lot of pressure to act a certain way during rush. So I guess I don't know the point of this story because I don't really know if anyone else has been through this, but I guess wrong impressions can go both ways and houses can be a lot different and for me alot more fun after rush is over.
