At a school where chapter numbers vary widely, this can be really telling (on the surface) to a PNM.
Someone coming from out of state may be able to tell on certain campuses exactly which chapter is smallest, largest, which seems to be the most active etc. There may be no need for tent talk for a PNM to make snap judgements without even meeting the members, and a PNM may not give them a chance based on what they surmise.

But that happens on the first day of recruitment anyway. Snap judgements have to be made based on a couple of minutes worth of parties. It isn't difficult to see which chapters are smaller or larger, have the best looking women, have the most awkward looking and acting, most fashionably/expensively dressed etc. The PNMs do a mighty fine job of talking amongst themselves based on what they observe even if they had no idea going in. That's been happening long before Al Gore invented the internet.
