It is mainly NPHC groups who encourage prospective members to use discretion as to whom they want to pledge. This is because their method of rush/intake is different - you are expected to research the goals and values of each org, decide which fits you best, and THEN make yourself known to the local chapter as someone interested in membership.
Think of it as similar to a job search....if you go to an interview for PNC you sure aren't going to say "oh I have an interview at Mellon right after this."
