"Go in with an open mind."

If you want TRUTH as far whether groups are on probation or have been involved in this or that, check out the school paper. Yes it's not always 100% on the money but they will NOT say "PQR received a 2 year probation" if that's a complete fairy tale.

If there are groups who don't do things the other groups are doing - i.e. they don't sing when you're walking in the house and everyone else did - ask your Rho Chi what's up with that. Do NOT ask anyone in another chapter, that's putting them in a really uncomfortable spot. It may be they just freaking hate singing, but it also may be this is part of a probation.

However, as far as certain groups being "the party sorority" "the geek sorority" etc, I think that the chapters at SEC schools are so big that there's going to be someone in any one that you can connect with. The diversity leads to their being overall homogenous.

There's a difference between being worried for your safety, and being worried that people are going to say stupid crap.
