Here's the difference: Pretty much every chapter has a power point or slide show, which is used (like the posters) to help girls remember who is who. What (I think) alphagamuga is referencing is the old rumor that chapters would review the photos of every PNM and make cuts based on them prior to recruitment. That's still a rumor.

A friend of mine told me flat out that her chapter does this (She goes to an SEC school, but I will not name the sorority). She said they would cut at least 100 out of 800 before they even walked through the door. When I said that my chapter doesn't even have pictures of PNMs for use during MS, she looked at me like I had six heads.

At a large school, pics are used to remember who the PNM was, not necessarily to judge the PNM. Hell, we can see what they look like when they visit our chapter. Sometimes, we get confused between Suzie Smith and Suzie Smith, and then it's nice to have the picture.

Exactly! I remember one year that we had three girls with the same name and one was a blonde, one was a brunette, and one was a redhead. Thank goodness for the photos so we could remember the difference!!!
