bamabound, well..things are a little different everywhere but let me tell you about Texas rush. (I go to Baylor and my sister went to UT-Austin! Both of us served on rush teams for our Chi O chapters.)
send your resume to the alums writing your reccs, they will forward it on to the chapter...put on your resume things you are proud of...things that make you look good...things you can talk about in a rush party...to be honest, it isn't that big of a deal because half the girls in every house were homecoming queens/class president/whatever....it is more to show that you are an involved and well-rounded girl. things that make you stand out are cool. also, some chapters really like to see that you've done some sort of community service but others could care less.
Pictures should be cute but natural. They are used to familiarize people with your face...so they need to look like the real you...not Glamour Shots. Think outside in a park by a tree with a cute outfit on (you determine what is cute with your own personal style.
You want to pledge a house where you feel like you can sit on the couch and put your feet on the table and be yourself. (Note: I do not recommend putting your feet on the table during rush...but still be yourself!)
Look for girls who are genuine and real...you'll be spending at least four years with these girls...not to mention alumni life! so follow your heart and you'll know where you fit in! Good luck!!
