FALL 08 RUSH (any & all advice needed)

[tallylassie]

Currently, I'm at a community college, & I will be transferring to a university in fall 08. I know FOR SURE without a doubt that I will be rushing next fall. It's something I've thought long & hard about for a while, & I know it's what I want to do.

I also know that going into rush as a Junior at a university with a very competitive rush is a disadvantage. Yeah, got all that. I still know it's what I want to do.

I have a good friend in a sorority (for purposes, we'll call it House A), & one of my best friends is currently pledging another (House B). Neither was a house that I thought I would ever want to do, but the more I get to know all of the girls, the more & more I fall in love with both sororities & the sisters.

Both take a good number of transfer/older (jr & sr) girls every year, so that's not something I'm worried about. I click well with everyone that I've met from both houses. The more time I spend with my friends and at House A, the more & more I LOVE it. I'm open to most houses on campus, but these are my 2 absolute favorites. (my picks: House A=#1, House B=#2)

Knowing the back story, here's my question. Is it a good idea for me to try to get in with the girls in both houses (esp House A) before I rush next fall? Since I do have good friends in both houses, what would be the best things for me to do to get to know more girls? What is the best way for me to make a good, LASTING impression before fall rush?

I know fall rush is forever away, but this is something that I know I want to experience in college. I want to make the best impression as possible & increase my chances as much as I can. Any help I can get would be a huge benefit to me! THANK YOU in advance!!!
