I cannot emphasize enough what DubaiSis said enough. The difference between formal and informal is like night and day. At formal, you must stay in the chapter for a certain length of time, while during informal you can visit with the women much longer. My chapter always found gems during informal, usually girls who were quite shy and just needed time to warm up. We always made sure to invite informal rushees to our chapter house to lunch or to lunch/dinner on Sunday when the dorms didn't serve. It was more relaxed and you could actually get to know them. I encourage you to go through informal and just relax, enjoy getting to meet new people. No one can promise you a bid anywhere, but it's worth a shot.
