Such as saying that a sorority was "desperate" and "unkempt" and then letting everyone know it was the "Jewish" sorority, of all details to give away...

lol...seriously, people can easily track down who the OP is...

well, good luck to her nonetheless!

But one of the sororities really amused me

Um, I don't know why I listed this- this is the engineering sorority. Maybe I'm missing one? We didn't go around to see this one.

I was a bit confused. Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but I thought the OP was going through an NPC rush? I wasn't aware of that one of the NPCs was a engineering sorority? Or do all sororities (including no NPC) do rush all together?

I think she's talking about Sigma Alpha, which is probably listed on the Greek Life page...and when she made her cheat sheet/code names maybe she didn't realize that Sigma Alpha didn't rush with the NPCs? Or maybe they do, but I wouldn't think so.

ETA: Illinois' Greek Life site is sort of confusing. There's nothing that says "Here are the sororities that participate in Formal Rush" or "Here are the NPCs". They're all lumped together, including locals, professionals (some of them, I'm sure they have more that what's listed) and even 4-H.

Sigma Alpha is agricultural. Alpha Omega Epsilon is engineering.

I looked on their site, and there are 18 groups of PNMs even though there are 23 groups shown on the Panhel site. This would omit the 2 agricultural groups, the engineering group, the multicultural group, and the group that I thought was closing.

Whoops. I don't know why I read agricultural instead of engineering.

No, I was confused- all the sororities, even some without houses, are in our books, and I accidentally put that one in and left one out (which I am adding to the end, so there will be a #19). We didn't go around to the Engineering sorority!
