It was considered an honor at my school to be selected as a rho chi. Each sorority was required to provide a certain number of applicants, and could provide more. All applicants had to have participated in formal rush from the sisters' side at least once, which meant they had to be juniors or seniors. The Panhel officers in charge of rush interviewed everyone and usually chose 3-4 from each sorority except AEPhi, 1 from AEPhi. (AEPhi was much smaller than the other chapters.) Each PX was responsible for about 15 PNMs. Certain Panhel officers also deaffiliated, but didn't counsel PNMs or give out invites/bids.
We had fall formal rush, so you deaffiliated for the summer, but people often went home or traveled over the summer anyway, so it wasn't like you could hang out with your sisters even if you were allowed to. I can't imagine what it must be like to be deaffiliated for a whole semester at a school with deferred rush...
