If you're in my NPC group, I'll tell you all I know. If not, it's restricted information.

That's what I was trying to say nicely in my first post in this thread.

Okay, I guess I am just old and out of the loop! WHO KNEW? Thanks for the kind way of letting me know how uncomfortable my question was making you.
Hmmm...I will get in touch with someone at a higher level asap.
But, at the risk of being argumentative, and for the sake of further discussion, I don't see what is so restricted about this info. Don't we all gather info - recs, letters, etc in basically the same manner? I am not inquiring about ritual, just trying to improve technique.

Groups vary a lot in what they consider secret and ritual.
And, for the sake of the topic - I think it's okay to pair up Patty "Piccolo" PNM with Suzy "Saxaphone" Sister, but I think after the fact they have that one thing in common, the rest of the convo should be impromptu. I would be a little creeped out if someone memorized that I'm in the marching band, a basketball cheerleader, was student government president in highschool, and ran a marathon last weekend. Even though that info was probably on recs or rush forms, it would still feel a bit stalker-ish. And yes, I have heard of chapters who do this.

But how you do your rush groups and matching may be related to how you do voting, which could get into membership selection, etc.
At least I think that was the objection.
The other possibility is that people don't want to give away the tips that help them get an edge in, let's face it, a competitive process.

Yep.
Just because your rush manual or the format of your pref party isn't "ritual" doesn't mean you should put it on the internet for all to see.
Not only that, everyone does things a little differently...for all I know, there's a secret special Nu Nu Nu bumping method that they have to use in rush or their chapter can't receive awards.
