A little late I guess, but the rushees register with IFC, which in turn sends their information to the chapters. Just like alaneagle said. Some chapters look at this information to decide who to narrow their list down to, so that they know who they want to take a look at during formal recruitment. Others just wait until formal recruitment comes around to decide who they go after. For example, a predominately Charleston, or Charlotte, or whatever city fraternity may look for kids in that area to narrow down their list of potential pledges. I've never heard of someone contacting all the fraternities. As for contacting the rush chairmen, most rushees that do are legacies or extremely interested in that specific fraternity. To contact all the fraternities would be over the top. As for facebook, its a growing trend but most of the elite chapters of the unversity don't use it because they have already locked down bids for that semester.
