I know a lot of girls in the various houses (like 2-3 in each instead of a lot in just a few..which doesnt really work out I dont think)..and I dont want those girls to think 'god, just give it up already...' ahh. advice?

Understand that if you were released by all but one chapter last year, that there's a chance that the SAME thing could happen next year. You could even be dropped by ALL of them. Just understand that rushing again doesn't always equal a better result the second time around.

To be quite honest, this depends on the attitude of the women at your school. Some people might stigmatize you for having rushed last year, and some might not. There's no real way to change that or get around that.

Also, if I know someone in the house and the conversation begins to feel like its slowing down..should I not mention the person I know? Bc i did that and the girl was instantly like "oh here I'll go get her so you can say hi"..it seemed awkward almost..like I shouldnt be talking to or mentioning someone I know already. I also went into a lot of detail on my application saying how I love social activities and volunteering..am very amiable etc. Should I keep it simple and leave all that stuff off?

The sororities will already know your GPA from your application without you having to talk about it.

Whether flip flops are appropriate depends on your school.

To be honest, I don't really think it's a good idea to "name drop" during recruitment. It's annoying. I mean, if a girl is a chapter, chances are good that the girl you're talking to knows her.

Activities are good to put on your app if you have any.
