I am not positive, but I think AGD may be only B session. There were definitely only the 3 groups during A session in 92'.
I'll admit I am getting old, and I did not keep notes at the time so this is not going to be very detailed.
I remember there was a sorority information session where each of the previously mentioned chapters had a table as well as Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta. I think almost every freshman girl was at this session. I remember one of my friends telling me that she was not sure how to take the two NPHC groups because they did not seem very welcoming. I understand looking back now that we were probably dumb rushees assuming they worked the same way as the other groups.
I also remember a casino night where each fraternity and sorority manned a different activity. This was a fun way to see all of the groups. (There were a lot more fraternities. GMI was like 5:1 guys:girls)
I went to both of these sessions because everyone on my floor was going. I had no idea what I would be getting myself into, but I decided that I had been having fun so I would give rush a try.
Finally, the real events started and I went to the activity for each chapter. I do not remember at all what we did, but I know they were silly fun things like Tie-Dye, Jewelry making etc.
After the first week I began to hear rumors. Beta Sigs were the partiers, Alpha Sigs the normal group, and I had been told the Theta Phis had low numbers.
I was really bummed because I had liked the Theta Phis the best. I also liked the Alpha Sigs, but I did not feel comfortable with the Beta Sigs. They were nice and pretty, but I just did not feel as comfortable with them.
