Sorority & Rush Information Sessions for High School Seniors

Originally posted by aopinthesky
There are many, many colleges in the United States that are in rural areas and their students are from small high schools. A lot of the time, these students are first generation college students. Just because they don't go into the process with all the information that they need to get into the sorority that they have chosen for themselves, does not mean that they should be immediately discounted for lack of preparation.

Thank you!! This is what I was trying to say. My parents and the majority of my friends' parents (both in high school and college) didn't even graduate high school, much less go to college. I find it rather offensive that I am not worth having simply because I wasn't born and bred knowing how the Greek system worked.

how hard is it to expect a potential rushee to call ahead, ask for brochures, check out websites, etc.?

Very hard, if the Rushee doesn't know such a thing as greek life EXISTS. My friends and I should have called the school and said "hey, tell me about that thing I've never heard of"? Please. That would be the whole reason for the Sorority and Rush information sessions that we are discussing...
