1. Don't make the first question you ask every woman at a party "What sorority are you in?" This comes off as petty, as if you're not interested in meeting anyone except for their sorority affiliation.
2. Don't get super-wasted, make-out in public, etc. That's pretty obvious I would think.
3. Judge where you're going before you dress to go out. At a small southern school like mine, dressing like you're ready for a club when you go out to parties would be a major faux pas.
4. Don't constantly reference your awesome friends in XYZ or your family connections to ABC. This comes off as desperate and annoying.
BIG PIECE OF ADVICE EVERYONE SHOULD LISTEN TO:
When you go visit a college and attend a fraternity party, if you've never drank before in your life, DON'T CHOOSE THAT NIGHT TO START. Every year, my college has two major weekends that freshmen visit: a scholarship weekend, an an accepted students day. What you do this weekend, if it is stupid enough, can and will influence your recruitment. (If it's a scholarship weekend, you can even jeopardize your acceptance to that college!) If you don't know your limits, don't test them! Just be your winning self. I have seen women break this rule over and over to their own detriment.
