You really should look through the threads before posting. PNMs often find answers to their questions, especially in the stickied threads from the Recruitment Forums.

I have been accepted to college of Charleston for fall 09 and I am looking forward to rushing in the fall but I have NO idea where I start and what I am supposed to do...I know that I have the grades (I’m coming in from a community college) and all of that....

Read the stickied threads in the Recruitment Forums. That's a good place to start.

I hear about Legacies...well, my sister is a legacy in Gamma Phi Beta, but my university doesn’t have a gamma phi beta chapter so is the legacy then forgotten? To me it seems like it would be since her chapter isn’t there....
|
Since Gamma Phi Beta is not at the CofC, you are not a legacy to any of the sororities there.

rec letters! no idea where to begin with that...and I have seen that some sororities require a picture along with the rec letter, is that normal?
|
Yes, that is considered normal, especially when they get tons of rec letters from PNMs. It's a good way to keep track of PNMs. Ask your teachers, family friends, your relatives, even your sister. Surely she has friends in other sororities, right?

my sister said that it’s a good idea to just rush "one"...THE one you KNOW you want, while I heard from someone else it’s a good idea to rush ALL of them....thing is I dont know which ONE I want and I think it might be a better idea to rush them all anyway...
|
Your sister is 100% incorrect. PNMs should always go into rush with an open mind and not have their heart set on just one or two houses. Doing that just sets you up for disappointment. Consider all sororities when going into rush. You'll be glad you did.

I would be extremely willing to listen to some advice about this, because according to my school I can’t call the Greek life office until registration for recruitment starts in June, and I have a lot of questions that I want to get answered before I register....

Read, read, read the advice given in the General Advice thread and get your recs in order.
