To meet people at a new campus.

To check out the sororities and see if it's what they're interested in before they actually ask their parents for the $$.

Because they're nosy. (LOL)

Because they think if they keep saying "I'm just doing this for giggles, I'm not going to pledge" they'll stay calmer and increase their chances of getting a bid - which is what they want to do all along.

If it's a noncompetitive rush RFM might not be an issue. Also if she's straight up told one of the sisters that she's just going through for fun and they DO need to cut people and it's between her and another girl, I'm sure that would come up in member selection sessions.

thats exactly what I was thinking honestly, especially from the gist of the conversation ( It wasn't exactly lengthy and well it was in the company of a few girls who a) are not greek but some "thought" about it a decided it wasn't worth it and b) don't really see why I or the XYZ went greek at our respective campuses ) it seemed as if at least a fourth of the XYZ chapter already knew her intentions to not accept a bid but I was just really really cnfused by the statement all together. SO I asked her why and she said something along the lines of not wanting to pay for it, but that still didn't explain why she decided to rush lol.

Except for being nosy these were all reasons I originally went through recruitment. I didn't say I wouldn't accept a bid, but I wasn't certain I would, either...by the second night I was. Chances are that if she's already friends with girls in XYZ they probably know if she truly has no intention of accepting a bid instead of saying what she does for one of the above reasons.
