One thing that's been mentioned here is that since IU does deferred recruitment, PNMs should be spending their first semester making or strengthening contacts with sorority women, especially by getting involved in activities. My daughter was involved in several activities first semester, but she didn't meet any sorority women. This may be a silly question, but what are the best types of activities to meet sorority women? Not that someone should join an activity just to meet sorority women, but maybe it's an activity they were already thinking about, and that would simply be more incentive.

I was heavily involved with Union Board (what they call student activities board at other schools) and there were sorority women there, though not a ton. It didn't help. Since they no longer have pre-rush dinners/events, the only way to get a leg up beyond knowing sorority members in classes is to know them from hometowns/high schools. Even then, it's a crap shoot.
