I'm not sure if this story qualifies...

The summer following my Junior year, we kept the house open to both members and non-members (Greek and Non-Greek). The only qualification was the tenants needed to be female. During that summer, I made a lot of great friends with girls from other houses that lived with us.

There was one Independent that lived in the room next door. She was from a well-to-do suburb nicked named "ooo-ahh". She had gone through rush her freshmen year and had preffed ABC. She claimed that she was not extended a bid because there was a cap on how many girls could come from "ooo-ahh". None of us believed her; not my own sisters or those from other houses.

During the summer, we saw a lot of why we would not want her as a sister. Not only did Miss ooo-ahh have a QR, as it was known then (questionable reputation), we caught her several time sneaking her boyfriend up the fire escape at night and doing drugs. She was constantly calling members of ABC and when she would see any one at their house, she would run to see them.

When Miss Ooo-Ahh went through rush as a Sophomore so that she could again try to pledge ABC, she was cut in Round 1 from every house that had girls living with us that summer. I don't know if she made it to Round 4 with ABC, but she never was extended an offer to pledge.

To this day, I don't know if there was a cap on how many girls could be from Ooo-Ahh in ABC. They may have told her that to keep her from bugging them.

my impression from my brief google search was that a D&B was like a credit report... I certainly wouldn't consider mine to be made up of "publicly available info."

It's a credit report for BUSINESSES...you have to pay to be a member and pull reports, but it's mostly public info.

For an individual it would be publicly available information. You need social security numbers and more information to run a credit report. Now, that's not saying that your library fines or your dad's credit woes haven't become public information.

They didn't ask - I assume that they got the information from our registration form. Now that I think about it, the registration form had practically the same information as a rec.

I was terribly glad that I didn't find this out prior to R, because it would have totally freaked me out!
