I don't know whether we have an actual rule about not touching PNMs. We're encouraged/expected to shake hands, but our advisors tell us to avoid touching them. I remember that being one of the things about which I was über-paranoid during my first time as a rusher. We were supposed to get our PNM at the door and lead them over to the rotation group. Mine was someone I already knew (we have winter rush) and she started to wander away, and I instinctively reached out and guided her along with me. Then I freaked out, 'cuz I remembered that we weren't supposed to touch the PNMs. "Bad touch! Bad touch!"

I think skit nights are pointless. We only have three rounds of rush, and we traded skit night for philanthropy night in 1998. Thank god.

I'm trying to think of a good way to explain the selection process to PNMs. I guess it'd be best to say, "Every chapter does it differently and the process is confidential, so I don't even know." I'd say "confidential" rather than "secret" because the latter implies exclusion, whereas the former suggests that it's to avoid hurt feelings, which is the reason that it's secret.
