I disagree with GtownGirl98 in part... as a PNM, I would have loved to start up a rush thread and come back to find 40 good lucks. The "Go XYZ" shameless plugs aren't necessary, but to me, a "good luck" is just that - "Good luck from a member of XYZ".
Not too long ago, a PNM shared her rush story and told us how crushed she was when she received only one pref invite to a sorority she wasn't crazy about. She was ready to drop out of rush. Many of us encouraged her to go to pref anyway - and she's now a happy new member of that sorority. If she had not shared her story and we had not encouraged her to go for it, this might very well not have happened. How can that be a bad thing?
So, no, I don't think we need to do away entirely with replying to PNMs' rush threads - as long as we're careful with what we say, and don't get PNMs' hopes up about our particular sororities.
