After reading the "What NOT to do" thread, I had a question.

take the sorority angle out of the equation and think about what you would talk about if you were meeting a new person in one of your classes, or your roommate, for the first time. that is what you would talk about at an early recruitment party.

That is a really awesome way to put it. Thank you very much. I am still quite new to the Sorority thing/Greek life as none of my friends are either in college or wanted to rush/pledge.

But once again, that will help me a lot. Thank you. :]

I do think you need to be prepared with an answer about where you were last year though so you don't get flustered if someone asks, especially in later rounds. If someone notices or it comes up in conversation that you graduated high school a year ago and asks what you did for a year since you're now a freshman, you don't want to look like you're hiding something awful that's much worse than what really happened and you don't want to unload your personal problems either. Be ready with an easy simple answer that isn't a lie but doesn't go into graphic details.
