Incidentally, what is silent period like for you guys? How long? How strict?

Well due to the fact that we have no Greek Life Official or really any recognition at all by our University we have a huge silence period!!! The university imposes a silence and ban of greek letters on campus for frosh or orientation week. Then Panhell recruitment starts and in the past the silence started the same day as recruitment starts... minus the week of information booths.. strict silence, as in don't tak to PNM at all no matter what the conversation doesn't start until immediately following the end of preference parties until the PNM has accepted a bid.
We enforce silence pretty strictly but not as strict as the university does. If you are a facilitator for frosh week and are caught talking about GLO's to any new student you will get fined $75 and no longer be allowed to facil. It's one of the things that makes it so difficult to be greek on my campus, absolutely no respect for all the hard work, good grades and charity work we do. Let alone recognizing the fact that all the big positions in school have greeks holding them, and we have stellar GPA's.
