I wish I'd had the opportunity to attend an information session. Rush is stressful enough when you -do- know what to expect.

However - even if such a session had been offered in my area, my parents would never have permitted me to attend. My father in particular is vehemently anti-greek. Kate and JAM, I'm with you on the marketing idea, but it has to be directed at parents as well as at PNMs.

I think an information session would be most beneficial if it (a) stuck to general descriptions of how formal and informal rush works - things like what a rho chi is, what snap bids are, etc.; (b) didn't mislead PNMs into thinking that everyone gets a bid, you don't need recs (at some schools), fill in your favorite myth here...; (c) was open to all NPC groups; (d) was open to all HS senior women and their parents.
