We had an alumna say hello to someone she knew, (the pnm spoke first) and we got a rush infraction. I think it was $10 but hey, lol.

Definately! And find out beforehand too. Let someone know that you're available to come and when so they can schedule things. One year we had a ton of alums show up on the first day of 1st round. There were so many they were bumping into each other and fighting over cleaning up glasses. Then the next day no one showed and we had to pull actives to do the job.
Also, find out if there are restricted times to enter or leave, like between parties. We used to have a rule that alums had to enter the house through the back door or the Chapter would be fined. It was thought that walking past the PNMs to the front door might somehow influence them. (???) But it finally dawned on Panhellenic that where parking was located and where the back doors of some houses were did not make this an easy task. Plus, if an alum has to trudge through mud and zig zag around dumpsters, she might not want to come help. So that rule was fortunately changed.
