(The amount of background screening that groups try to do at some of the really big rushes is really pretty amazing to me. Especially with their network of alums, for some groups, I think, in the south especially, there are rarely any unknowns on the final bid list. )

If a girl shut down her profile you couldn't search for her tagged pictures, comments and wall posts, but if you looked at, let's say, her friend's profile you could see pictures that her friend tagged of her, comments she made on her friend's wall, etc. (and trust me, I know girls that will go to that extreme to find the dirt on PNMs). It's also as easy as calling up a girl you may know from that girl's hometown/high school and being like, "Did she volunteer in high school? Is she well-liked? Sleep-around? Good grades? etc."
I am also amazed by the "pre-recruiting" these girls do...it really amazes me. My friend was telling me last night (admittedly in breach of membership selection secrecy, but that's a whole other story) that the recruitment team will go over EVERY single PNM's application and school history (and there are usually like 800 of them) and then flag those with recommendations, legacies, connections (if they already know girls) and those with stellar academics, involvement, talents, volunteerism, leadership, etc. and then focus on those rushees during formal rush.
In my fraternity, we admittedly do a lot of "pre-recruiting" as well (ie, looking up guys from our hometowns, having alumni compile lists of stellar rushees from their hometowns, etc) but the amount of work we do is nothing compared to the sororities. Sorority rush just fascinates me (at least at the really competitive schools).
