Your last paragraph is disturbing. Whether or not the bid is real or a napkin can be the difference between whether this whole thing is fake (against regulation and you won't actually be a recognized member, in the end) or real (you'll be officially recognized as a member because this whole process was in accordance to regulation).
Do these organizations have to comply with university regulations, or anything? You might want to make sure this whole thing is credible and official.
As I said in my previous post, I think recruiting from high school populations is a bust. But, since you're so excited about this whole thing and set on doing it, at least make sure it's real.

I'm pretty sure its official, seeing that other fraternities I've checked out have also issued me bids... I am thinking that this is just the way our campus works -- That they allowed early rush. It is actually encouraged to start pretty early. I have friends who have accepted bids as earlier as April.
What I meant by the napkin comment was that it didn't matter to me whether or not it was official YET... If there is a certain date in which they must wait, they would take care of it and make sure they follow regulations, I'd think. This is one of the strongest fraternities on campus (of 30) so I'm fairly comfortable with trusting them. Plus, I've got a couple friends within the fraternity who are looking after me, giving me advice and encouraging me to make the right decisions. The point I was trying to make was that I was happy that they showed interest enough to take me out and invite me to be a part of their organization.

I've never heard of this. But, even if it is permitted, I don't think it's a good idea. How about letting high school students get acclimated to college, focus on their studiess, and THEN consider "transitioning into Greekdom."

I've been accepted into college, my grades and classes are doin' good and I think that if now isn't the appropriate time to look into greek life, then when is? When else would I have the opportunity to look indepth into a campus with so many choices yet still make a good one? How I will adapt to college life, doing college work and studying goes hand in hand with where I'm living... I'm obviously going to have to adapt and find ways to keep my head above the water when it comes to academics and will need to learn time management.. Thats why I Was asking for advice that might help me become a little more prepared... So that I will know what to look forward to..> Thanks for your post tho
Tom --- Awesome. I appreciate your advice and taking the time to address my questions... Thanks!
