Since PNMs can't go in the house, it doesn't matter (but they would usually crash with someone off campus during recruitment).
2. Sometimes you know what group your Rho Gam is in. It happens. Esp with sophomores. The deaffiliation is mostly so that PNMs feel like they can confide in a Rho Gam without offending her. It only works some of the time.
3. We had to put our name on everything, and the Rho Gams would watch them. I doubt a dude could get close enough to the Rush Madness to steal a purse. And stealing is wrong. Sometimes girls would leave things at a house during recruitment; it would be returned to her Rho Gam, to be returned to the PNM (or put in a "Rush Lost & Found" box).

It is literal on some campuses (like mine). Our campus rules state that all pictures must be covered (composites, scrapbook, etc.) and recruitment counselors cannot live with or talk to actives (or alums, but everyone ignores that one) from the beginning of school until Bid Day. That includes cell phones, facebook, twitter...anything. Work and class were the only two exceptions. I have heard that the new greek adviser wants to relax the rules a little, which IMO is a good thing but those were the rules when I was a RC. Not that everyone followed them to the letter of the law but in theory, no talking. Because our sororities have dorm halls and because PNMs do visit them during recruitment (and in some cases live on them or next to them when housing needs to fill all their rooms in their dorms) living in sorority housing is a no go.
