3. DON'T STRESS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A REC FOR A PARTICULAR CHATPER...it is ultimatly up to the chapter to find you one if they really like you. (at least I think for most chapters)
5. Put together a resume...on some chapters like/ask for that that...HOWEVER I want to stress again that if a chapter likes you and you're ment to be in there, they won't look down on you. (I could be mistaken on some campuses).

10. Shop for some cute outfits..but please don't go broke! It's important to look mature and put together, but it's not worth spending all your money when you could use it for maybe going out to dinner with the new friends you meet at college!

* I just want to point out that this varies from school to school. If you're going to a school where Greek Life isn't that big/competetive, don't worry about #2, 3, 5. I never needed recs or a resume.

* I really hate that buying new things for rush is ALWAYS suggested. Yes, we all want to look good and make a good first impression, but if you have cute things already in your wardrobe that you would like to wear, don't feel like you have to go out and buy new things. I think the only newly purchased item I wore for rush was a new necklace. The outfit I wore for Pref was so old, but I got TONS of compliments because I didn't look like a carbon copy of every other girl. Hint: If you pick up new clothes at trendy stores, chances are someone else will be wearing the same thing. It's better to pick out key pieces from your own clothes, and THEN shop for things you are lacking or fun accessories to dress up your looks.

stepping off my soapbox now
