Hi! I'm a PNM at a school in the Pacific Northwest this fall during formal recruitment. I decided to rush recently and have no experience with the Greek life (as I come from a family with no past Greek members).

In need of more information, I went to my school's greek preview and it seemed VERY relaxed and chill. I was so happy with the environment of the Greek community and decided to sign up for rush that very night! At greek preview that day, the active members there told me not to worry about letters of recommendation or legacy or anything similar to that. But after reading various recruitment information online and on this website, I'm not sure if that is a general statement said at all schools (to relax girls or to be polite and inclusive of all girls) but when in fact it really is necessary. I'm from out of state too so I'm not super familiar with the campus life or this specific greek community either. I'm getting somewhat nervous because I am such a fish out of water so I wondering if any of you had any advice. Am I missing anything important that I should be aware of? Or am I just stressing about something I should not even worry about?
