I feel this is serious, and IU Panhellenic should be made aware of it. So if your PNM mentioned her Rho Gamma saying this, or anything similar to this, tell her to turn them in.

From the NPC MOI section on Recruitment Counselors:

The goals of the recruitment counseling program are to:
• Provide support, friendship and personal guidance to women participating in the recruitment process by women’s
fraternity members who are educated to represent Panhellenic attitudes and ideals.
• Provide objective and impartial counselors.
• Promote an understanding and explanation of the mutual selection process.
• Promote an understanding of the benefits of fraternity affiliation and emphasize the similarities in ideals and goals
of all women’s fraternities.
• Provide encouragement to the potential new members to continue recruitment through the Preference round during
fully structured recruitment and to accept the maximum number of invitations possible during each round of
recruitment.
• Promote membership recruitment retention and pledging by lessening disappointments and disillusionments.

My bolds added.

IU Rho Gammas (barely older than the PNMs) are trying to help these young ladies through a very difficult process. While these hearsay statement may seem anti-PanHellenic to you. I feel they were probably an awkward way of conveying objective information to the PNMs.
My daughter was given similar advice from her Rho Gamma during recruitment at a different school. (Full disclosure: they were friends before recruitment.)

ATTA BOY! to all members who volunteer to be Rho Gammas at IU. Judging by the mother's comments on this forum, think how Rho Gammas must feel at the end of the day.
