Questions from a senior rushing at NCSU

[Resevoir12]

Hello,
I'm planning on participating in formal sorority recruitment at North Carolina State University this fall. I will be a senior and have two semesters left at NCSU.

Why I waited to participate in recruitment...
I did not participate in rush during freshman year due to health problems which caused me to withdraw from classes.
During sophomore year I was participating in multiple internships. These internships conflicted with rush.
Junior year I became involved in a well known campus organization and their fall retreat conflicted with rush.

My current GPA is very high and I'm in the top 20% of my class. I know alot of girls who are members of the sororities on our campus from living with them in housing, classes where we were close together, or campus life and I feel that would not be detrimental (i.e. I don't have a bad reputation).

I want to participate in rush because I want to find the type of sisterhood and connection with other girls that's been missing in my life. I'm open minded about where I think I would fit in because I know many young women in different sororities. I waited until this year because it is free of any time conflicts and I know I will have the time to fully participate in sorority activities.

There are, however, a few things I have questions about:
I interned at the office of a prominent, elected government official, who is still in office, for over a year. Is this something that is okay to talk about or not?

During junior year I was an intern at NARAL Pro-Choice, a political action group for women's reproductive rights. While I understand that I should be careful to not bring up any kind of Roe v. Wade type of conversation, is this internship okay to put on my application for recruitment?

My grandmother and aunt were both members of sororities not located on our campus. Should I still list that I am a legacy?

On that same note, I have a cousin in an active sorority's chapter on another campus. Are recs important at NCSU recruitment? And should I try and obtain one from my aunt who was in a sorority not on our campus?

And, finally, are my explanations for why I deferred recruitment until now acceptable?

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I know it's a long post.
