3) Did you have a formal or informal rush at your school?
And 4) Can you give me any advice in choosing this or any fraternity, and if I do choose this one (it is currently my 1st choice) what did you do, if anything, to ensure your bid?

That is Coe College in Iowa I beleve, correct?
1. The first was that LXA did not haze as when I started a local, that was part of the program.
2. The Associate members are immediately a part of the chapter even though not initiated.
3. This has changed over the years and I do not beleive there is a formal recruitment now.
4. The first thing you should look at among the many are the members and how well you fit with each other. Then, look at what they as a chapter and a National do such as charity, size, what is available for instructional help from such as ELC's or chapter visitations from HQ.
While LXA is one of the newest of the largest fraternitys, it has done more to expand the greek social life world by having one of the first "pledge manual", first to do away with hazing, first to promote no ethnic clause. It has always been in the fore front of changes that will be fore the betterment of all Greeks and its members. LXA also has the largest paid staff of ELCs, who visit each chapter twice a year where many use volunteers only.
While we do have our ups and downs, we have more ups than most if not all.
I can say I am a very proud member of LXA having been a member since 1966 and still active!
All I can say to you is I hope you find your home and it be LXA!
Yours,
