No hugging unless the PM initiates it... and I don't remember anyone ever hugging me, so it hasn't been an issue.

I have a different perspective about the no hugging/hugging rule (question). I pledged and am active in a LGLO. When I went to Rush week eventhough I hardly knew any of the actives, we were all hugged or shoke hands with them. I wasn't freaked out about it , I guess it's just a part of our culture to hug and kiss each other on the cheek everytime we see each other. Even our non-Hispanic members, i.e. White and Black, do it now.

Everytime us sisters see each other whether in private or on our way to classes we always stop and hug/kiss each other and most of the time we get "THOSE" kind of looks from GDI's and other Greeks. So having a no touching rule for my sorority would really be hard.

Truly, I think what most are saying is a "rule" is really a warning/suggestion from their chapter -- I dare say few (if any) Panhellenics dictate "no hugging!"

Ya know...what continues to amaze me is the fact that many collegians break federal & state laws every night of the week, but for some reason, are petrified to break a "Panhellenic Rule" on "no touching" the rushee/PNM!!!

Amazing.

There are plenty of campuses where this is a real rule. Last yer one of my chapters got an infraction b/c the PNM initiated a hug (she even told the Rho Gamma before she did it that she was initiating it). Rho Gammas are in the recruitment rooms on this campus and wrote it up. The VP of morals and ethics ruled that it didn't matter that the PNM initiated it and we had to go to a hearing on it. It's ridiculous. We got another infraction for illegal touching this year. It's just silly, but don't think it doesn't exist.

This is a new one to me!

The only times I remember hugging during rush was at the end of the preference ceremony...which of course, was at the end of the week, and you usually had a good idea of who you were the most comfortable with anyways.

We did take the rushees by the arms when they would come onto the hall...like, linking arms with them. Does that make sense? I guess that would be considered touching, although I see more of a problem with hugging than with linking arms.

I think it depends on where you go to school....if you have a larger school with like 150 members per chapter, I think you'd tend to have more strict recruitment rules than at a smaller school where the chapter totals are about 100 members lower.
