She will be attending the same campus I attended. While I would LOVE for her to pledge my house, I want her to keep an open mind and go where she feels at home.

When I went through rush it was all about looks, clothes, and how many high school activities you were involved in. Does the same thing hold true today? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being Greek, but I am just being honest about what it was like in the early 80's. What do I need to know to help her have the best experience she can have?

Thanks!

Specific advice really depends on the school.

Generally speaking, it's important to understand that she isn't guaranteed a bid.
