THIS!!!!!!!

Don't worry so much about what you can tell them about THEIR organization. I personally wouldn't be "impressed" if someone looked up information about my sorority before recruitment. It's online. With just a few clicks on the national website, you (or anyone) could know anything they want to know about AST.

If you want to look up the info for your own personal knowledge, go for it! But I'm willing to bet that no NPC chapter's membership selection process includes a stipulation that a PNM must know a certain amount of information pertaining to the sorority in order to receive a bid.

If you have a genuine question about something, then ask it. "I understand your philanthropy is ______. What do you do to support that cause throughout the school year?" That's fine. But don't start reciting their creed, or brag because you already know about things that they tell you during the recruitment events.

Just be yourself, let the conversation flow, and don't worry so much about how much you know about the sorority.
