I was also a fall 1975 rushee. I didn't even remember there were recruitment counselors until I looked at my Greek booklet when my daughter went through (at the same university) recruitment in 2002. I distinctly remember my impressions of each sorority, though. I also knew nothing about sororities, and only went through because my roommate wanted me to walk across campus with her to sign up. I can remember, oddly enough, outfits that a couple of the sororities were wearing. I'll never forget the ADIIs in their safari clothes. I also remember there was food and skits every night. We had token gifts: flowers, name tags, napkins, but no large gifts were given. We didn't receive phone calls, only invitations that we picked up immediately before parties. My roommate, a double legacy, was cut by her legacy sorority, but somehow, her mom got her name back on the invite list. Yep, true story. I heard her talking to her mom on the phone, and I also heard her talking to the Dean of Women when she got that call. My dorm and a few others actually had sunroofs, and yes, people started laying out in February. It was really fun reading about your rush experience. There were so many similarities. I loved rush in the 70s.
