advice for PNM please!

[lovedbyloving]

I'm rushing in the fall (just a couple weeks away..eek!) and I am REALLY nervous to say the least.

I've read several threads on here about advice, what to expect, what not to say during rush, etc..but I am freaking out. I have a couple of questions:

I go to a southern state school, and from what I've read it sounds like rush at most large southern schools is pretty competitive.

I only have three recs but am interested in about 8 of the sororities.
Is it going to hurt me that I don't have a rec for every single sorority? I'm worried that I won't get an equal chance at each of the sororities because I have so few recs. At my school recs aren't required-it says so on the rush application, but I've heard that they are still really important. Should I be nervous about this? And if so, how do I compensate?

Also..I know a few greek girls through my boyfriend who is in a fraternity. I know in the advice threads it has been mentioned to not bring up boys so I don't plan on going around announcing that I'm dating a fraternity guy, but I have met most of the greek girls I know through him.
So my question is this: if the active greek girls bring him up during rush activities, how should I react?


Any advice/answers to my questions will be super helpful. Thank you so much!
