The methods you are listing work well for NPHC orgs - but on a campus like Vanderbilt, you really need to go through recruitment as a freshman to be successful. You don't have time to get to know everyone first.

Yes, but couldn't the PNM just ask someone familiar with the chapter? At one of my friend's high school, her senior year some women from different NPC sororities gave a presentation at her school. That was an opportunity for hs women who wanted to rush to get some info. Also, I remember from my freshman year of college, I went to 'Fish Camp', a week long orientation camp for incoming fresman and one of the counselors offered to talk to young women who wanted to rush.

And, if a chapter is that superficial why would you want to join it? I would think that at a school like Vanderbilt, money is really not an issue in terms of what your dad does to imply how much money he makes.

And, I would presume a rec letter is important. So a young woman would have to know someone from the org and/or the particular chapter to get a letter. Wouldn't the rec writer provide some inside info?

Yes, I'm still looking for the 'free' options.
