Each chapter is different. You will be invited to more than one party and you will have both alum and collegians from another chapter present. Always put on your best face regardless of who you are speaking with, just like they were all actives. Chances are high that they don't know anything of what on during recruitment with you other than that you participated and didn't receive a bid. They don't know if you dropped out or cut by all during the first round.
Do a little research on the chapter ahead of time so that you are knowledgable enough to ask questions about their philanthropy and presence in local areas. This will help you to jump in whenever there is dead silence in a conversation.
