Here is something else that no one has mentioned which I think is important that has nothing to do with the drinking and not drinking problem. When no one knows you and you go to parties with a group of XYZ members as their guests for the weekend and even if you also are going to some other parties with the ABC members or whatnot, people are going to associate you with those sororities. That can limit your options very fast sorry to say so you better be sure you like those sororities a lot and hope they like you and want to bid you.

Old_Row, you made a great point and this is very accurate. If a PNM does attend parties and is hosted by a certain sorority, it will be a part of "her story." If she does it multiple times with a single house, it may reduce her appeal to other houses who think they won't have a chance with her; at the same time, she is not guaranteed a spot with the women who host her.
It's OK to stay with women from one group. It's not the kiss of death to do it once, maybe twice, but PNMs should make an effort to meet women from as many houses as possible. It's not to your advantage to cling too tightly to one house where a bid isn't guaranteed.
