If you attend a smaller school with much better chances of being “outed” during a live recruitment, you may wish to postpone your story for a few days to make your location less obvious.
However, there are some definite advantages to mentioning your school. Many here are familiar with how recruitment works at various schools, so you could get some extra advice along the way as well as cheerleading. Things like “It is not unusual to get only 2 or 4 invites for 8 party day at Super Competitive U, so your getting 6 invites is really good!” or “No matter what the Greek Life office says, no one wears shorts for the first day of recruitment at SEC U” can help keep your spirits up and provide you with “insider information” for a more successful recruitment.

Consider the pros and cons of mentioning your school, but
do realize that the number of chapters and start date alone are almost always enough to identify your school, even if you don't intend to identify it, and the more chapters your school has, the easier it will be to identify your school.
Do make sure to mix up the order in which you visit chapters ESPECIALLY during the first round. In the first round, many schools have a "rotation" where PNMs visit the chapters with their Rho Gamma groups. Everyone visits the chapters in the same order, so if you give enough information to identify one chapter, you've identified them all. Subsequent rounds may not be a big deal because only Panhellenic and the Rho Gammas should have access to your schedule.

Using correct punctuation, spelling, capitalization, etc would also be great, since you are in college. It wasn't until Greek Chat that I observed the epidemic of not being able to differentiate between "apart" and "a part". I've added it to my long list of pet peeves.
