Not to mention that while it's easy to hear about recruitment at State U if you live near State U and all of your older siblings' friends go to State U, but it isn't so easy if you're going to school out of state.
Just like not all sororities have the same "personality" on every campus, not every campus has their recruitment or even "we have a greek system" info out there.

Maybe it's a west-coast thing... but I don't see how one could NOT know that sororities and the Greek system is out there are nearly all Califiornia's schools. With either a UC or a state school about two or three hours from nearly every city in California, if not much less, how hard is it to expect a potential rushee to call ahead, ask for brochures, check out websites, etc.?
Also regarding your comment about going to school out of state, if you are going to a college not in your home-state, would that school really send representatives to your highschool to get information out about rush? That sounds difficult to accomplish.

My mother was not Greek and in fact did not go to college in the United States. Surely if a girl got into college, she could research the rush process for herself!
Perhaps girls who are for the most part uninformed about rush would make great GLO members, but I would much rather take the girl who, of her own intiative, went through rush well informed rather than the one who didn't know what a sorority truly is up until a few days before rush.
Maybe this attitude goes along with the fact that the Greek system at my school seems to attract plenty of girls each year without downright aggressive recruitment.
