I cant say for sure because I am not a member of Pi Kappa Alpha, but from what I have noticed, as a national trend, they tend to take rush numbers VERY seriously.

Maybe its becuase of Wilson Heller's research?
Is Wilson's influence still so strong?

In 1973 or so I wrote a letter to the editor of Banta's Greek Exchange. It was published and Wilson got my name/address from that, and sent me one of his newsletters.

(FYI, everyone else: Heller was a University of Missouri graduate--was he a Chi Phi?--he published (in the days of mimeographs) a "statistical" report about NIC/NPC groups with rush reports and colonizations/closings/etc. If I understand correctly--I was just an undergrad and definitely not privy to the higherups--NIC/NPC people took his reports more seriously than they were willing to let on.
