To all the rushees/PNMs on GC and the internet in general:
Excitement about rush is wonderful and welcomed - however, there are some things you should avoid:
-Don't post messages on the group's local or national guestbooks asking to be sent information. The individual chapters are not allowed to respond to you due to NPC contact rules - go through your school's Greek life office if you have questions about housing, costs, schedules etc. If you want to know colors, national history etc all you need to know will be on the website - national offices will not give you "inside info" on a particular chapter. Also (pardon me but this is a pet peeve) many of these requests I've seen have poor spelling and grammar. This is not the way to impress sororities.
-Be very careful about showing interest in a specific sorority, unless of course there only is one sorority on your campus. The sorority you are interested in may take it as being too aggressive/bold and the other sororities may see it and avoid you because of it.
also be sure to read this thread:
