More Greek problems

It was finally time for my second generation legacy heir, Julie, to
go to college. She rubbed the lamp and got $22000 from the genie,
which she converted into 4 statues. Once at college, she sold a
couple of the statues--which gave her enough money to buy a house just
perfect to become a Greek House. She inserted all those goodies that
Bigfoot had given her--stove, dishwasher, etc and the electro-spin-
discop-thingi from Dad. She called and asked for a Greek charter.

She started greeting everyone who passed by, looking for likely
pledges. She also wandered off to get a Greek Letter for the house,
which she stashed in the shower. It has since been moved to beside
the front door. The electro-glide was quite popular, which saved her
listening to many renditions of 'gerbits, gerbits, go gerbits'. Sarah
Love seemed particularly likely to interested in the Greek life. So
Julie invited her back, along with three housemates. By the end of
the second day, Sarah was a friend with ~100 daily relationship. By
the end of the semester, all four of the women had very high daily
frirendship with Julie and their long term relationships were
climbing. Yet Julie never got to ask them to pledge. She had a level
3 Greek House, but could not ask for pledges. She managed to make
good grades--despite having forgotten to get a computer and having
spent all her money on drapes so that the frat boys could not oggle
the sorority through the windows. I guess it is a good thing it was
fall and classes were easy.

By the end of hte second semester, Sarah was her best friend and the
others nearly so. But still they could not be asked to pledge. The
house was now a level four Greek House, with one member and no
pledges. Julie was getting frustrated. This was not turning out as
she'd imagined.

At this point, I decided to bend the legacy theme to see if it was
possible for a pc sim to join the Greek House. After all, according
to th Prima Guide, there should be FOUR new members by then. Allegra
called up the Greek hotline. Sure enough, Greek House was listed.
Julie came rushing over. In no time, they were friendly enough that
Allegra was allowed to join. Julie hung around all day until asked to
go....which is a bit unusual based on the few times I've pledge Greek
Houses. Usually once you join, the Greeks leave.

Anyway, I decided to see if Allegra could actually move in and join
the House. She could. But, hum, NPCs are still an issue.

Anybody know what might be going on here?

They are playable sims!?! That would explain it. Every single
'pledge' I was trying to recruit as an NPC was actually a PC! I guess
the 'housemates' should have been a clue.

Oh bother. But at least my game isn't torqued somehow.
