No one should be your goal. That puts a bias in your mind before you start recruitment. If you go to the parties and decide you love ABC or XYZ, for all means, go for it, but don't go for a chapter just because your friends are.

Besides, if you have to ask us about what they're looking for, you're not being yourself. If you're not being yourself, you're not allowing yourself the opportunity to find your true home.

I really encourage you to keep an open mind, because IU has a great Greek life and anyone should feel excited to be a part of any chapter there. Good luck in recruitment when it happens. Be yourself. Go where your heart thinks you belong, not where you know your friends (from other schools) belong.

Sorry for the rant, but as a KKG, it's not fair to us if you try and manipulate your way in by acting like someone other than yourself. More so, it's not fair to the other chapters there that you aren't giving a chance completely.
Also, it is very possible that you could go into recruitment aiming to join Kappa and they could cut you.

IU has a VERY strong Greek community and you should keep an open mind to all chapters.

Quite a bit has been written on GC about IU and recruitment, so I would suggest doing some reading about the system and what you're in for. Good luck!
