My advice comes as a person who went through informal recruitment this spring, there are other people on this board who can probably give you more seasoned advice about the particulars. I think that if you don't have a particular sorority in mind you should rush as many houses that are having open informal recruitment. How informal works varies form school to school, and sometimes not every house has informal. Ususally, if a house did not make quota during formal or are still under total they can choose to have informal (this is where my knowledge is shaky). In my experience, two of the three sororities were having informal, but I already knew that one wasn't for me. However, if you don't have a favorite you could research the national organizations online, or try and meet some sisters from the different houses before hand. A good idea would be to contact your school's Greek life office and ask about the hows and whens of informal at your school, and keep your eyes open for fliers. Informal was an awesome time for me, it's much more relaxed than formal recruitment and can be a little less pressured. However, i did only rush one house, so it might be different if there are three or four. Either way, i hope you have a good time and (as is so often spoken here in the rush forum) keep an open mind!!!
