Just my 2 cents worth.... here is what I generally tell PNMs, either in person or by email:
Remember to keep an open mind during rush. Don't listen to talk of "tiers" or reputations. Remember that if you don't get an invitation back to a particular chapter, it does NOT mean that they didn't like you. Chapters are limited in how many invitations they can offer during each round of parties. Each chapter is allowed to invite a different number of girls. It is a complicated system, but I promise you that IT WORKS! Go to each round of recruitment with a smile on your face and give every chapter your best!
If I may make a suggestion... the chapters will all be looking at your Facebook, Tumbler, Instagram and whatever else young people use USE those resources to promote yourself!! Put great pictures of yourself, especially doing things like community service, being active in sports and pictures showing your accomplishments on those sites. Pictures with your family are also good.
I would suggest making any pictures of boyfriends or, as we alumnae say, anything you wouldn't want your grandmother to see, PRIVATE. If there is a picture that you think might be questionable, make it private. Consider Facebook as your electronic resume for now.
