When I was an active, there was a PNM who was temporarily restricted to a wheelchair because of an injury. Most of our rush parties at the time took place in the student center, which has elevators. She was not used to steering her wheelchair around by herself, so her mother was allowed to accompany her. Mom pushed her wheelchair from party to party, and sat off to the side during each party. (She joined our chapter, and was out of her chair and walking reasonably well by initiation.)

So, definitely talk to your college Panhellenic rush chair. She and her team should be more than willing to work with you to arrange for a rho chi (or whatever term is used at your school) to drive you from one party to another (or to take you by wheelchair if you're on a car-unfriendly campus like mine), and to alert each sorority that you will need to sit down during parties.

I love hearing stories about people being REASONABLE and working to help the situation, not hinder it. YAY!
