-You get to sit in the formal living room or chapter room if you are more attractive during round one, while the less attractive girls stand in the hallways.
-"calling cards" are crumpled, folded, dropped in different bowls, etc. for different rankings.
-I know one house where rushers will put their weight on one foot to show that they want the president or recruitment chair to meet their girl.
-walking a girl upstairs with her on your left means "yes" while on the right means "no"
-these really go on forever...
Are those kinds of things really infractions? To me, it just seems much more efficient for large rushes.

I don't realize why those are needed. For example, making a craft with a PNM if the rusher is bored. Maybe she didn't click with that particular rusher, but why does she need to broadcast her opinion to everyone else? The next girl to talk to the PNM might click with her (might have more in common or is a better rusher) and she could end up being a keeper. But if an active is giving "no" signals, then the next rusher is going to think "Oh great another painful 7 minute conversation". The only "signal" that I could think of that would be useful is to have a "help me conversation is slow" to let actives who are "floating" come help the conversation. Even for chapters that have to make the biggest cuts, why do they need to signal? They can just share their opinions later.
