I don't go to a small school...more middle-sized, really...but we only have 5 NPC sororities on campus, and Greek life isn't really that big, even though we ARE a southern school.
The biggest and most important thing has already been said, but it can't be said enough: Keep an open mind! There were lots of rumors and stereotypes about the 5 groups here, and since I waited a year to go through recruitment, I was pretty familiar with all of them. I was determined I wanted one or two groups, and didn't even wanna think about another two. I knew their "reputation" and didn't want any part of it. However, those two taboo groups happened to be the two at which I felt most comfortable (needless to say, the "reputations" couldn't have been more wrong about these wonderful chapters!). I preffed both and ended up going Phi Mu, when I just KNEW going into the week that I'd never, ever do anything so pink and girly!!!
So yeah, rumors suck. But you get to know the Greek community really really really well (since you know everyone at a small school really well to begin with). I can recognize pretty much everyone in the other four groups, or at least have a good idea of who they are. It makes for an even more special, intimate Greek experience.
Anyway, good luck with recruitment! You've got great groups to choose from and you're prepared. Have fun, cuz that's what it's all about!!
