Good luck! Fraternity recruitment is completely unlike sorority recruitment. It is very down-to-earth and conversation-based. Just be yourself. Unlike sororities who many times have a stronger focus on recruiting underclassmen, most fraternity rushes are not this way at all, so age and class rank is not as great of an issue as with sororities. Same goes for grades. While fraternities do want members who are good students, the difference between a 3.0 and a 2.8 is not necessarily as big of a deal to the men as it is to the women's groups. There are always exceptions, however, but in talking to Greeks from campuses all across North America, it seems there's a much more laid back approach to membership recruitment among the men's fraternities.
Go into this process to make friends. Most fraternity rushes have a loose structure where you may visit as many chapters as you would like. Maximize your options-- try to spend some time at all or most of the chapters on the first day to get some impressions. Go back to the ones that interest you. You might be offered a bid on the spot during that first day. Typically, you have 24 hours to accept. You might find yourself considering more than one bid.
Be yourself, have fun and give several chapters an opportunity to meet you so you can see what they are all about. Best of luck!
