You say "the campus," and that you already have a room mate. Do you know for sure which school you are going to? Because that would help people to give you more specific advice. But in other posts it sounds like you haven't settled on a school yet...

I'm a little confused... do you already know which school you are going to? You already have a "room mate," but you are talking about various SEC schools as if you have not decided yet, so I'm just wondering.


Also, perhaps your future room mate will be invited to summer events. Fraternity members may want to chime in on this, but maybe he could mention your name/give your contact info if he is invited (unless that's tacky)? I'm not sure how tagging along would look necessarily (clearly, I'm not in a fraternity doing summer rush). I'm guessing that there are probably some invite-only events, but maybe there are some events that say bring other guys with you, i.e., if your room mate gets invited and is encouraged to bring out a few guys, you should make the trip!
