I personally don't think sending out emails is wrong as long you do it properly. just something like "Hello my name is (yourname) and I am interested in Greek Life. I was hoping you can tell me a little bit about your fraternity." or something along those lines. I don't see how expressing interest is a bad thing.

I apologize for that, I really didn't mean to sound arrogant or like I was trying to insult anybody. But at (university), my understanding is that generally the more selective houses already have most of their pledge class before formal rush even begins - they barely participate in formal rush, so summer rush is very important to having a real chance at getting a bid at those houses.
All I meant by that bolded section was that the less competitive houses generally actually participate in formal rush, so even if I don't get to those houses over the summer I still have a chance to get to know them. If they take the time to meet me and get to know me during formal rush, but still don't want to pledge me, then summer rush probably wouldn't have made a difference anyway.
Time permitting, of course, I'm going to meet as many houses as I can while I'm in town regardless of how exclusive they might be.
