Too much knowledge?

It depends on how they act knowing that info.

I agree. A know-it-all isn't a shoe-in for membership. There are a lot of women who know public information about Delta and her chapters but are not, and probably will never be, Sorors.

This stuff is all public info either through websites, school records, or talking to people. Commiting charter members to memory is the only thing that I didn't do until much later in the process.

Right. And it also depends on how they know the info. If mom or dad is a member of the group in question, for example, then I wouldn't be surprised if they knew more than the average rushee.

I did add the comment when I proposed the question that the person was not a legacy. I've known people who were so deeply legacy, that they had no choice in whether to know this sort of knowledge. In my chapter of Alpha Phi Omega (which has no official concept of legacies at all), the younger sister by blood of one of our brothers (we are co-ed) showed up to so many events before becoming a student that we figured that she almost met all of the hours and meeting requirements for pledging before she enrolled. (I think we gave her as a big the only fraternity brother who had been there longer than her brother)

You did, and I missed that. Oops. Sorry.

I agree too. Knowing the chapter founders, particulary an older chapter, would take me aback but other than that it's fine. When we host Spring Teas, we allow each sorority (with one or two chapters/sorority) to have a brag board. Alot of naraht's answers are on that board.

The PNM could use the information to ask more direct questions like naraht suggested. That's fine. If she goes on and on about how she liked the annual dodge ball tournament and couldn't wait to coach her team, yeah, that's over the line and creepy.
