I know that at Wisconsin we have the no-touch rule, at least for the first couple rounds (I can't remember about pref). When I was going through, my Rho Chi warned us that we shouldn't be offended if we try to shake the sisters hands and they don't respond, because if they touch us they get a rush infraction.
I think, but I'm not completely sure, that the rule is different at Pref. I vaguely recall shaking hands with the presidents of certain groups or girls touching my back or arm during the pref ceremony.
I have to admit that from my point of view, there are some girls who just have no conception of personal space, and it would freak me out if people who just met me were touching me too much. So I think just from a don't-scare-the-rushees standpoint, it's a good rule to have for the earlier rounds.
