I really think that it depends on your personalility if spring or formal is better for you.
During Formal recruitment you get to meet all the sororities, which can be great because you get a better feel of how you fit in within the panhellic system. Also you get a chance to met alot of great people and network. But it is also very stressful and very time consuming.
I personally perfer spring rush because it is more laid back and you get more face time with the sorority you are interested in. but it does have the disadvantge of not letting you meet all the groups.
But if you know that you are definatly interested in a certain group then go to the party and meet the sisters. You can always decide not to accept a bid if one is offered.
All of the sororities at ECU are great, and they each offer something special to the PNM's. I would not worry about hazing--it is against the law and all sororities policies. I have never understood why anyone would do something to hurt a person they are welcoming into their sisterhood.
Also within every group there are going to be some people that you have stronger bonds with that does not mean you sisterhood with any other member is less. Sorority sisters love and respect each sister even if they are not best friends.
Good luck
