Well I didn't know much when I went thru and I'm glad. I also was the first in my family to be Greek (although I found out later that my older sister would have been a colony member of my chapter if her grades had been better). My family let me decide and were agreeable to whatever I wanted to do.
I was clueless! I found out afterwards that someone had written recs for me----I never asked for any. Oh, I knew that I needed to look nice and make nice with the small talk but I really didn't realise how directed the questions were and the importance of my answers. And you know what? I ended up where I wanted to be the whole time----it didn't make a difference! My roommate during that week had been "groomed" and was determined to only go one way----and she dropped out when she didn't get the invite to pref she wanted.
I can understand that you may want to be prepared, just realise that it doesn't guarantee a thing.
