I'm guessing Arkansas' rush is intense given that it's an SEC school and almost all SEC schools have very tough rushes.

Years ago I traveled for my sorority and that included working with chapters at both OU and Ok State for their rush. OU reminded me the most of SEC rush - at least back then (early 80's) as it seemed very competitive and the rush parties/outfits/etc. were very, very well put together with nary a stitch out of place - even the name-tags that members wore were mini works of art (hand-painted with the sorority flower on it!). Ok State was relaxed by comparison.

Beyond recs, I suggest pulling together a stylish wardrobe although I know many schools give the girls T-shirts to wear for the first round(s) of parties to keep things more "equal" clothing-wise. But later in the week girls do wear their own clothes and as you likely know, fashion, jewelry, etc. is very important down South (that and fabric that can breath in the Southern heat/humidity).

I think there's somewhere online that you'll find tips for surviving rush in the heat, such as a tiny hand-held fan, makeup wipes, baby powder (if she's wearing any shoes, not sandals), waterproof mascara, even the best hair products for humidity - to keep fresh while waiting for each party.

Hope you come back and give us updates - wishing her the best!
