*Be sure to avoid talking about your friends in XYZ during recruitment. If every 3rd word is "my friends in XYZ" the chapter likely think exactly what you don't want them to think.

*Also, make sure your XYZ friends know that you're keeping an open mind. Sometimes, friends can mistakenly think that since you are BFFs, that you obviously are only interested in THEIR sorority. Be sure they understand that that's not the case for you, to avoid any hurt feelings or misunderstandings.
ditto.

Also, consider how you would answer the question "why do you want to be Greek?". Make sure the answer doesn't include any direct mention of your friends in XYZ.

As a side note, I rushed as a sophmore and most of my greek friends were in one of two houses. I joined a third house where I didn't know anyone prior to rush.
