if you're going through rush at any texas school, or for that matter, any school in the south, register with your local panhellenic assoc. they often compile a database of who's going to what school. if Sorority X at School Y is interested in you and you don't already have a recommendation, they will get in touch with their Sorority X contact in your area's panhellenic and they WILL FIND ONE FOR YOU (and many times you won't even know this is going on). they're good about that.
insofar as "grooming" goes, even if Sorority X isn't in your blood, never fear. ACTIVITIES, ACTIVITIES, ACTIVITIES will make you or break you. get involved in anything that interests you and stick with it. don't go into rush thinking you're special because you were in band, on the homecoming court or were a cheerleader. EVERYONE was in the band, on the homecoming court or was a cheerleader.
you have to go the extra mile - Girl's State, camp counselor (this is HUGE in texas), Sub-Deb, church/synagogue activities, any sort of community service... if you pursue activities outside the classroom you will be miles ahead of someone who was The Prom Queen and nothing else. in some cases, your extracurriculars can balance out your GPA if it's a little lower than Sorority X's minimum.
