Their response to me was essentially the following (this is not a quote)

They know that NPC passed the resolution changing a lot of the lingo back in '93 or '94 (potential new member or PNM is a lot harder to work into songs compared to rushee!). They chose the term "rush" over recruitment to make it clear that we are marketing to alumna-aged women. Most alumnae look at you kind of funny when you say "sorority recruitment". All of the parties in the book have cocktail recipes, and they are concerned about overtly marketing to women under the legal age to consume those recipes.

They read GC often but don't post here because they are so busy . These women are CLASSY and energetic , and work in the DC area in government for their regular jobs (until they become the next Martha's) I admire them greatly.
