If you're a legacy or are good friends with an alum from the house, have those people send a letter. And then if you want to go to the summer stuff and aren't doing summer classes, maybe email the rush chair once summer classes start and say you're in and out of town and wanted to know if they were having a bbq over summer or anything, but I wouldn't just send them a letter saying you want to rush.
If you said you have some friends of friends in the house, maybe just casually try to talk to them about the house and say you're thinking about rushing so hopefully they get the picture and tell people to keep an eye out for you, but just writing to the rush chair to say "I want to rush!" would be a bit odd. I would at most just ask if they're having any bbqs over the summer because you wanted to get a feel for the house before rush or something of that nature.
