KUGirl,
First off - read my FAQ on the main page of this forum. That will give you a lot of information.
Second - visit the KU site, write down the names of the sororities that are on campus and see if each chapter has a web site. Learn about each chapter AND visit each group's national web site to learn about their history, philanthropy and programs.
Third - write down the questions you want to ask each chapter. Most likely they will be the same questions for all the groups, but maybe not. Review these questions before Recruitment and remember to ask them. By asking specific questions about a chapter's programs, history, etc., it will show that you took the time to learn about that group and that will make you memorable.
Fourth - be open to everything. Yes, your sister is a DG at another school, but the DG chapter at KU might be different entirely from your sister's chapter. Look at all the chapters - compare sisterhood, academics, campus involvement, etc. before making a decision to cut a group.
Fifth - I don't know about KU, but usually schools in the Midwest aren't as heavy on recommendations as the Southern schools. Check with the Greek Life office on campus regarding this. Many larger schools, such as Penn State, have completed eliminated the recommendation process.
