Last year during Homecoming Week some parents from here took their HS daugters to the houses and introduced them around. Don't know how effective it would be because for DG there were so many parents their with the NM and older actives' parents as well. There are tons of opportunities to do what you are talking about Killarney.
We are only a couple of hours from LSU and season tickets are a BIG DEAL! I guess once a Tiger, always a Tiger. So, old alums do get together. Any mix you can think of with alums, actives and HS-fraternty AND sorority, but sorority is by far the most frequent interaction. So yes, there IS schmoozing prior to rush, but that seems pretty "hard core" to me. I never knew all this stuff till after the fact. I don't think my daughter would have allowed me to try and manipulate the outcome. She saw too much of that kind of "politicing" in HS.
Still, if a girl and her parents want "A" particular house bad enough, I won't fault them.
