I assume it means that she is still active, and not disaffiliated like a Rho Chi/Gamma/whatever or member of Panhellenic.

Then again, you probably weren't asking me...

It was directed towards the first person who could answer the question, so you win.

If it is formal recruitment, then it is in bad taste, and quite possibly a recruitment infraction, depending on the campus. If it is informal recruitment, then honestly, I have no problem with it. Informal recruitment is about bringing a chapter up to total, and about attracting girls who might not want to rush to go greek. Rules like not being allowed to talk to certain people or friending them on facebook are the kind of thing that turn some girls off from rushing, so why apply those rules to informal recruitment and risk losing some great potential members over a silly rule or rivalry?

This reminds me of that YouTube video from Northwestern where the girl makes fun of FR by talking about how she accidentally took a napkin out and the other girl who was told to spit out her mint. Yeah, the rules get a little ridiculous at times.... But coming from a slightly struggling chapter and having been a Rho Gam, I can see how in some instances they are necessary.

Rush at her school is NPC and formal. The person I am referring to is not one of the "unaffiliated girls helping them through rush," but a member of one of the sororities on campus.

I think that's what we assumed. In that case, it is a rush infraction and the chapter could be fined or punished in some way if the school's Panhel were to find out...

Not all schools have a rule against facebook for recruitment. I know of several where there aren't such rules.

It's not about Facebook specifically, but contact in general that there's a rule against, and I'm sure friending someone on Facebook counts as contact.

I think it's one of those things that's not necessarily kosher even though technically there isn't a rule against it. Yet. I wouldn't be surprised to see an NPC unanimous agreement regarding facebook in the near future, or to see facebook added to the current unanimous agreement.

Called daughter to ask about "rules." She said they are not supposed to be communicating. Also found out that some girls on her dorm floor found out this girl is VP of Recruitment of this sorority. They are all scared to say anything.
