Looking back, I was certainly influenced. I had been on campus for a full year, heard the stereotypes and knew some of the women in the sororities. During recruitment, these beliefs were either confirmed or completely proven untrue.
I can distinctly remember writing off one sorority in particular because of what I had heard about them. I did a complete 180 during recruitment. They ended up being one of my favorite chapters, and in the end I preffed them along with ADPi!
I also recall rushing with my roommates from the previous year. Some of these girls were too cool for school and had written off certain chapters they believed they were too good for. They also had a change of heart after the very first round! That was very surprising to me.
I think (I hope!) that any conceptions you have before coming into this process are undone by the end of the first day, when you have had a chance to experience it for yourself.
