Rho Chi formal recruitment

So, the OP's question got me thinking... Is it common for schools to allow women who are experiencing formal rush for the first time to be Rho Chis, or is this just a phenomenon at places where they have a hard time filling Rho Chi positions?

ETA: I don't mean to hijack the thread. I think the OP should definitely give it a shot. I think it would be helpful for the OP to have experienced formal rush from the sorority's side before being a Rho Chi, but if there aren't rules prohibiting that, I don't see why she shouldn't.

I know that at my school, you had to have been on the member side of recruitment at least once to apply to be a PX. But my school is one where there were at least 10 girls applying from each of the 6 NPCs (sometimes more), which made for alot of apps considering the size of the Greek community.
