Future PNMs who might have stumble upon this post in the future: if being greek is 100% something crucial to your future college experience, I beg of you, please do not go to IU, ESPECIALLY if you are out of state! You can get similar experiences at Illinois, Purdue, Kentucky, etc. and they, like 99.9% of other schools, have a "normal" quota based recruitment system where (if you maximize your options) you are very likely to have a successful recruitment.

I don't think you are wrong about considering other schools if you really want to be Greek, but I would advise a woman that, as important as it seems when you are 18, taking on huge debt to go out of state is probably *not* worth it just to be in a sorority. As valuable as my sorority membership is to me, I would hope that parents of Indiana teenagers help them see the long-term big picture of what happens when you go out of state.
ETA: Though obviously Purdue is in-state, and Ball State is also an option with healthy Greek Life, IIRC.
