This is why I believe so strongly in a recruitment week that starts the day girls move into the dorms. (Actually, they move in a day early and do an FFR orientation, then start Open House rounds the next day when everyone else was is moving in.)
Many of the girls that come through have never even heard of the majority of houses. Generally, they know Chi Omega because the Chi-O fountain is a campus landmark. Theta is also one they seem to know; I always hear "Oh my mom was a Theta."
If the PNMs stay away from the three B's (boys, booze and bars) like they're supposed to, they have very little chance of hearing false information that may unduly influence them. We point that out during FFR orientation.
I always felt bad for the girls who pledged a certain house because they seemed fun and pretty, only to find out that chapter was on social probation and wouldn't be having as much fun as they hoped! And I really feel bad for the girls that pledge a house with significant debt, because they could choose that chapter for all the right reasons and then have such a huge weight put on their shoulders.
