Not necessarily.

Her freshman year hall mates, class mates, PNM group, and friends would all be aware that for a few weeks she was wearing letters and participating in Greek Life, and then all of a sudden she wasn't. In addition, those from her hometown, those that she pledged with, and those that she participated in campus activities with would also know that she rushed, pledged and then dropped.

It only takes a handful of people to remember the situation, and word spreads quickly to the other groups. While the actives from last year's recruitment may not remember her I assure you that others in her freshman class will. Of course, those freshmen will be on-the-other-side come fall.

All that to say- OP you do need to be aware that this may have a negative impact with some groups and be ready for some heavy cuts. In addition, I would not try to hide the fact that you pledged. Getting caught being less than honest could spell disaster for your recruitment. As mentioned above, have a good answer (that does not criticize any groups on campus) as to why you depledged and what is different this year.

Good luck to you.

If she doesn't even know for sure if she signed a pref card, do you really think she was a NM for a few weeks?
