Having "connections" are pretty important in recruitment but they're definitely not the most important. Make sure you get rec letters for as many sororities as possible because you never know who you'll end up liking once the actual recruitment week begins. I'm from out of state as well and I didn't have any "connections" with girls in any of the sororities before recruitment. But because of my conversations during parties, I made connections with several sorority members throughout the week and those connections were the ones that really mattered in the end. As far as contacting your friend who's currently a member, she is not allowed to talk to you because of panhellenic rules (actives can't talk to PNMs after spring break) so I don't think it would be a good idea. I'm not sure how you decided that chi o and kappa are your favorites, seeing how you are from out of state and don't really know anyone yet, but you really should try to go into recruitment with an open mind. I was biased toward one house because I liked that chapter at the school near my hometown, but I quickly realized that we just didn't really have that same "connection" that I had with other houses. And last thing, don't choose a chapter just because they're a "top house." Those rankings literally do not matter once you're actually in a sorority and I promise you will have a far better college experience if you actually enjoy being around your sisters. Go where you think you'll find your best friends!
