date party? big/little?

As for it being a secret, usually you get "temporary" bigs (heart sis for example) for the new member period. Shortly before initiation, there's usually a big sis revealing, where, through creative and fun ways, you discover who your big sis is. Sometimes you get some input, sometimes the members pick, that depends on the chapter.

But either way, it's someone who's a sort of mentor for you. And makes sure you know about all the er, unofficial events that may be taking place on Friday night

This varies by organization. We don't have temporaries at all. In fact, we don't have bigs/littles, we have sister-mothers and sister-daughters. You know who your sister-mother is when you attend the new member pinning ceremony and keep that one person your whole life. All 3 of my sister-daughters were rush crushes of mine and my sister-mother was the member I talked to most during recruitment and had really connected with. It doesn't matter what your grade level is. The sister-mother is a mentor.

That's cool too I know the "temporary" big is a common thing across NPCs, but I know not everyone does it!

Some chapters also still use pledge mom/daughter instead of big sis/little sis.

While we're asking questions, what's a rush crush?

A rush crush is someone that you meet during rush that you're basically "OMG I have to have her in the chapter!"
