Alumnae org location was not important to me, but I tried to looked at why each group was started and what principles the groups were founded on. Unfortunately, that information is hard to get from the chapters, although you sometimes can get the info from the national web sites.
It was only after I was greek that I found the Baird Manual! I think that each group should have a 2-3 page summary of the whole organization (why founded, principles, were located, number of sisters, etc.), so that each rushee knows what they are getting info. Just my 2 cents.
