This might sound dumb, but how do you know if you really "want it" if you've never heard about it?
I mean, yeah, there are some schools who send out fliers of rush information to all incoming women, because they have fall recruitment and have it before school starts, necessitating women moving in to dorms early... but not all schools do that. And let's face it, while many schools have web sites, not all of them have panhellenic pages, and many that *do* have greek sites haven't updated them recently.
(I keep a list of chapters, with links to chapter, panhel/greek, and school sites for each school that had an ADPi chapter, and trust me when I say that some sites have not been updated with recruitment information since 2000 or so.)
Not to mention that while it's easy to hear about recruitment at State U if you live near State U and all of your older siblings' friends go to State U, but it isn't so easy if you're going to school out of state.
Just like not all sororities have the same "personality" on every campus, not every campus has their recruitment or even "we have a greek system" info out there. If I ever become a Valpo Guild member and host a get-together for incoming freshmen, I'll be darned sure to tell them that there's greek life there!
