Do the sororities expect potential members to know all their stuff about them before they walk in the door or is it a matter of reputation and what girls fit in what sorority on campus?

Well, everyone has their own interpretation of "homework" and "research". When I tell an interest to do her research, I want her to do several things. First, she should have an understanding of the basics of each org, such as founding date, location, number of founders. She should be aware of the community service projects that each org does on a national level. She should know some of the accomplishments that these orgs have made in the community. Beyond that, an interest should also take the time to get to know the young ladies in the chapter. She should come to events, educational, social, and community service, so that we can have an interaction in various settings. She should talk to members informally about the org to get an understanding of the dynamic of the chapter. Overall, before an interested young lady shows up to an informal rush for my org, she should at least a few members of my chapter, she should know basic history (which can be found in numerous places), and she should also know about the other 3 NPHC sororities, so she can choose which org is best for her.
