what if you spoke with the college placement officer, the dean or the guidance officer(which ever one would be the most appropriate) at your prep school and ask them if any students from your prep school went to auburn that you could contact?(okay, i know that you found this guy already, but if you contact him on your own it very well might appear stalkerish and ruin any chances you might have with that fraternity). if the prep school alum. has kept in touch, the person you speak to at your school will most likely encourage you to contact him, at which point you no longer appear stalkerish. your initial contact could go something like this:
you: hey prep school alum. my name is ______ and i will be a senior at prep school this upcoming school year. i am very interested in auburn university and college placement officer at prep school recommended that i contact you to learn more about the university. what was your experience at auburn like? did you feel that prep school prepared you well for the auburn curriculum? what activities were you involved in at auburn?
him: hello _____. i loved auburn. yes i did feel that i was well prepared for college. auburn is a great school that offers a lot of activities for students to get involved in. I was in ______, ______ and ABC fraternity. i could highly recommend greek life. have you thought about going greek?
if he answers you in anyway like the conversation above, you can then ask him more detailed questions about greek life in general and his fraternity in particular.
hopefully he will feel the old school ties, and will answer you back. if he does not, just drop it and plan on going to any preview activities that auburn might hold. have you contacted or visited at auburn yet? if not, get on their list, so that you get info. from them.
