Hey Mike,
You've received a lot of excellent advice from the members here so I'm not gonna say too much on this subject.
One thing I would like to reiterate is that as a new student the fraternities will expect you to not know a lot about fraternities. There are NO dumb questions, feel free to ask as many as you like - the groups will be more than happy to answer all of them.
Take your time in deciding who you want to pledge. As Corbin mentioned, if your unsure with who you want to rush just give yourself some more time to think it over. Pledging into your second semester or your second or third year is irrelevant in the long run.
Even if you do pledge and then decide this group is not for you, you can depledge and then pledge another fraternity. Lastly, I would like to stress for you to rush as many groups as possible, check out every group - each has it's own unique style and image.
