I was pretty well informed. I did a lot of research beforehand, even with the limited resources I had. (There are not very many books about rush, few informative websites besides this one, and our school's Panhellenic website is rarely updated. I knew the symbols, colors, and philanthropies of every sorority at my school, I knew what was going to happen at the rush parties.
I knew a little about campus reputations, but by the end of the first round of rush parties it was pretty easy to see what was true and what wasn't.
The only thing I don't think I knew ANYTHING about were recommendations . . . at least until I came to Greekchat in late July. By that point it was too late to get any, seeing as how I know almost no one in sororities. Fortunately, recs aren't required at Wisconsin.
