What exactly are silence rules? I have heard them mentioned before.

Period of time where sorority members MAY NOT be in contact with ANY PNM.

Length varies by campus.

Example: Silence for us lasted from the time the PXs disaffiliated to midnight after Bid Day.

There's silence and there's strict silence. At least on my campus.

They loosened up our silence rules my senior year so we were allowed to say hello but no IM/Facebook/email/ or other face to face interactions. Strict silence was from the end of pref to when bids were given out. No communication allowed at all. Best if you just go home and go straight to setting up bid day in the morning. Saves a lot of trouble.

Our chapter was reported for an infraction for dirty rushing. Our campus was pretty stringent about only being able to say hello to PNMs. One sister had a PNM sit down next to her in an intro Engineering class the day of first rounds. The PNM just started talking up a storm to my sister, who politely said something along the lines of "I can't answer your question, as recruitment has started". An XYZ girl was also in the class and reported her for "extended conversation with a 'special interest' PNM"
