How is Janie PNM supposed to meet up w/ Polly Podunk Alum to be "checked out" if Janie is in the middle of rush?

Ah, 33girl, we have our ways!!!
It is not necessary to personally meet Janie. Ms. Alum may already know the family, or know Janie. Ms. Alum may know Janie's teachers, or principal, or pastor. Or Ms. Alum has friends or relatives who know Janie or her family.
Caveat: some groups do require that the alum personally know Janie. Personally, I'll accept a report from a friend who knows her or her family. And if it's in the middle of rush, it's already too late!

I'm going to suggest you let the ASA alums from Louisiana explain to you how it works.

There are ASA alums from Louisiana on GC, so I'm sure if there was anything I needed to know about "how it works" they would have told me by now.

AA answered the question just fine, thank you.
