The summer before freshman year, all the incoming freshman women were contacted by a summer Big Sister - a member of one of the sororities. I got a nice letter, and answers to mine, a frank discussion of Greek life and of other social, fraternal, academic, and entertainment options on campus, and a sense of what to expect.

Rho Chis are just to guide you through the actual week of rush. As several women have pointed out, some schools do still have "Greek weekends" and teas and such for HS seniors. Plus, if you have deferred rush, the rules should be such that freshmen can get to know sorority women just like they would any other people on campus. Rho Chis haven't replaced any of that, and they don't tell you all the sororities are alike - they just want you to make the decision for yourself, rather than having the first sorority you walk into be the sorority you pledge (even if it isn't right for you).
