they can be teachers, family friends, parents of other students that they went to high school with, co-workers, you name it. You may never know who's an alum of a group that's in your life if they never mention it. Just look at some of the posts on "Southern Rush" (not to bring up that old horse), but alumnae often keep their eyes on local girls in order to make recommendations to their collegiate chapters.

Example: If the younger sister of a high school friend of mine decides to rush, and I know that she was doing all kinds of drugs, sleeping around, or even running with a gang (as is the subject of this thread), you can be sure I'd tell my group about it. This girl probably doesn't know I exist, but I know she exists. See where I'm going with this?
