Wow, I can't thank you all enough. You've really put my mind at ease. I've always held the assumption that many sororities (secretly) preferred rich girls and we're far from that. What a relief.
After reading more stickies and posts, it's becoming increasingly clear to me that in order to get the genuine sisterhood experience what matters most (and what I should concentrate on during the visits) is finding a house where the girls accept me and really like me for exactly who I am. I'll just be myself, ask them questions, too, and enjoy the visits.
I do hear that we have lots of girls rushing, so I'm sure the competition will be intense. Although I'm not at all shy, I've never been much of a mixer at parties, usually talking to just a few people. Will the sisters approach me or will I need to be more assertive, especially if there are so many girls rushing on our campus?
Oh, and one more (just curious) question! When they do check us out on Facebook or MySpace, are they looking for anything other than bad photos/language, i.e. what positives are they looking for? I was surprised to hear they have our GPAs and do their own research ahead of time.
