And carnation, I wonder why they only check the transfer students? At many schools it wouldn't be tough for a transfer (at least a sophomore transfer) to pass themselves off as a freshman if they really wanted to. And I'm sure that if they had been Greek at a previous school and really wanted to join a different sorority now, they might go to great lengths. Checking only the self-declared transfer students still gives the opportunity for many women to slip through those cracks if they really try. Although given the large number of rushees, it's not surprising that sororities don't check everyone, I think it's strange to assume that these women would lie about not having been Greek before, yet not about anything else (previous student status, etc.).

To pass themselves off as a freshman, they'd have to declare themselves as entering freshmen with no college gradepoint. Anyone with any college hours would have to submit their college transcript.
All PNMs are checked in my experience. Like I mentioned earlier, I get many calls and emails from Pi Phi chapters as well as other sororities asking me about PNMs. If ABC calls me about Ms. PNM, the freshman at Mercer, I might say, "Why's she rushing as a freshman at Mercer? She was a member of XYZ at Georgia State last year," and another one is caught. Somebody in your hometown always knows. They also know--and will tell sororities--if you're a troublemaker or a potential letter pimp. Or teachers will tell sororities if they know a girl cheated her way through school and will probably flunk out if not able to cheat in college. The hometown folks will also tell if someone is reeeaaallll strange.
