Of 17 groups, the girls from the high school where I teach can be found in only five of them, I'm pretty sure. It's a difficult recruitment no matter where you are from.
They also get information from adults. The standard question for many UGA alumnae in my area when a girl says she is going to UGA is "Are you rushing?" As they start to get acceptances, they start to compile rush advice and information. Think about it this way: I can think of women from 6 separate chapters in my department alone. Girls from the school at which I teach most certainly gain an advantage if they have us to give advice/recs. A girl from out of state might not have so many alumnae at her fingertips... and alumnae from out of state might not ask "Are you rushing?" the moment a girl states her college choice.

*Note: I know of a few high schools that have lists of alumnae who are willing to find/write recs for graduated seniors. I'd imagine that would be a very valuable resource, too.

It depends on the PNM. If we really liked her and she cut us, we'd have remembered her. If she was poorly behaved in a memorable way, we'd have remembered her. But otherwise... it's very hard to remember specific PNMs year to year. Then again, I graduated four years ago in May, so it's probably a different planet now.
