The thing that made me have a rush crush was the completely NORMAL conversation. We were insty-friends. Unfortunately that's not something you can prepare for; it's just organic. The best you can do by way of preparation is be ready with good answers to the obvious questions so you can move on to more interesting subjects. You can also help that process along by giving narrative answers instead of closed ones. What's your major can be the world's most boring question OR it can be a gateway to a really interesting conversation about your goals and/or expressing your potential. Or what you really love to do in life.

The other thing you can do to make yourself appealing is to carry at least your half of the conversation. For as exhausted and stressed out as you, as a rushee, are feeling, the sorority women have all of that plus HOURS of work before and after all of the parties. And just like you they also have class. If you encounter what feels like a dud, keep that in mind and work at being more engaging. It's hard, but if you can perk up a sister, that can go a long way toward being remembered later.
