Rush is the "old" term, which has been replaced with recruitment, but they're the same. New member is also the same as the former term "pledge" and the old "rushee" has been replaced with Potential New Member (PNM). You'll still hear the old terms used informally, or by alumnae that may not be hip to the newer terms, or who prefer the old terms.

As far as the questions, I'd avoid being too intense. It's unlikely members wil know exactly many sisters are in each major, and while they can speak to their own study hours/scholarship program, they likely won't know how it compares to other groups' programs. You don't want to put them on the spot during a converstion by grilling them with questions they can't answer. "What is your scholarship program like," and "Do you know of any sisters in my major" would be fine. Definitely don't ask if they only take "easy majors" or anything else that is potentially insulting!
