Even houses I wasn't invited back to made me feel like I was special, even if they were just putting on a front.

You and FuzzieAlum have hit the nail on the head. I can remember being "chased" by a group, no other way to put it, at Arkansas before I went Greek. I had no desire to pledge them--I'd already dropped out of formal rush--and I could see that they were desperate and I felt that they didn't really care who they pledged as long as they had warm bodies. My cheerleading partner's girlfriend invited me over there for a COB event (I never would've attended had I not felt obligated because of him) and they extended a bid, which I turned down, after only briefly meeting me.
Then they kept it up! I mean, how many times do you have to say no? I felt sorry for them but when I pledged, I wanted it to be a group I was proud of.
PNMs should feel special and wanted.
