My school just changed the Panhellenic constitution to say "recruitment" rather than "rush" last year. The use of PNM is becoming more prevalent, but 90 percent of us still say "rushee".
However, girls are still called pledges, and in my sorority, new member refers to an initiated sister who hasn't celebrated the 1 year anniversary of her intiation which means she hasn't gone through all the major functions of the sorority as an active quite yet. (IE, it's a term we use to get people's attention when we need to talk about stuff that newly initiated sisters haven't gone through. "New Members, can you please stay after the meeting to go over some rush guidelines?" ) . And "Active" is anyone who is initiated and not alumna.
