Also...
1) Get some sleep, eat and hydrate properly!
2) It is fine to say that this is a new experience for you (it is for everyone going through rush, even if they are more familiar with the process), but I would be careful not to act too clueless...the members may take that as a sign that you don't know what you are getting into and might be more inclined to drop out during your New Member Period.
3) As I said before, take your clothing/hair/make-up cues from in-state girls living on your hall.
4) You are both at an advantage and a disadvantage coming from out-of-state. Play up the advantages...other girls will be bringing baggage from their high schools, but as far as anyone knows, you were the Queen Bee at your high school! No one holds a grudge against you, no one has any dirt on you, and you aren't pressured to join any particular organization just because the "cool girls" from your hometown joined it. Neither are you hindered by silly stereotypes...you can make up your mind freely!
5) Be VERY positive in your conversations. Not fake, not gushing, just positive, excited to be there and to meet so many new and interesting people, excited about the opportunities that lie ahead as a member of a sorority. Take a few minutes before rush starts to think about some things that make you an interesting person. Take some time to think about things you really like that might make good small talk. Don't rehearse conversations, but getting a little more in tune with who you are and the image you project (again, not fake but clear) never hurt anyone.
GOOD LUCK! Keep us updated!
