Show up well groomed and ready to talk to actives at the fall open recruitment events such as the coke dates, etc. They are well publicized so make sure you are there looking good and enthusiastic to learn about the sororities.
Get recs. Now is the time to gather them for January recruitment.
Yes. I forgot about the coke dates (they started them my senior year). Go to as many of them as you can. It will help you so much to know women in the chapters. And recs aren't totally foreign at Miami, but they're just unusual enough that it may help you get noticed.
ADQtPiMel, I miss being an advisor there!! Now I don't even know any of the actives....boo.
Coke dates are usually one or two sororities together so they aren't as crowded/crazy and you really do get to meet some people. The actives WANT to get to know people during the fall quarter, so don't be shy. Always behave classy on High Street. People ARE WATCHING.

I'm totally out of the loop now too -- my sister graduated in 2010 and my best friend, who had been an advisor for ADPi, moved out of the country. So I don't have anyone left in Oxford to give me the scoop!
