this is very true. when i went through recruitment i noticed the minimum GPA for the houses that tend to not fill quota were lower than the others. for example, houses have a minimum GPA of 2.5 while other houses have a minimum GPA of 2.75 or 2.8.
anyway, i agree that looking at the different websites for the chapters at your school is a great way to do your "research". also, looking at the national website is good as well, that way you find out what the organization is like nationally as well as locally. if you have deferred recruitment, i'm sure you'll get a feel of the girls before you even begin recruitment.
a lot of houses will have PNMs over for lunch or dinner. i think if people do a rec for you, they have your phone number & might call to have you over for a meal or if you know girls in the houses they might ask you as well. that's probably one of the best ways, that way you actually talk to the girls and get to ask questions before. it's like getting a head start on practicing for recruitment.
