I know entire families come down to many of the SEC schools to celebrate bid day at the house, including dads, brothers, grandfathers etc., so much so that some chapters have put limits on the number of guests. Aren't they technically breaking the unanimous agreement?

I think it depends on how you define "participation."

As an outsider, it seems to me that men at Bid Day (no matter who they are, in a sense) are a moot point because they aren't being used to sway PNMs one way or the other.

I wonder (related) if there is a rule stating that non-members cannot "participate" in recruitment. For example, if you have to bar men from the process, wouldn't it be just as unfair to use some famous person (volunteer or for hire) as an integral part of recruitment?

Any time a non-member is part of rush, it has to be approved by the school's panhel. That goes for alumnae (from that school and others) and women from other schools too.

I mean Marlo Thomas can't just swing by and stop at the local Theta chapter for their rush party. Panhel needs to approve it, and most likely never would.
