Thanks for sharing. I don't know why but I find this so interesting. At my school, rush was held second semester of Freshman year. Most people came to school knowing whether or not they want to rush, but not knowing much about each house, unless of course you had a friend or older sister in a sorority. But in general, most girls didn't really start thinking about it until you went through informal rush in the fall. Recs aren't required or needed, and you could go into rush knowing no one and still get a bid from any house on campus - the only time rush lists were basically set well in advance was if a house had to do a rush in the fall to bring up numbers. The most important thing that people seemed to worry about first semester of freshman year was grades - I remember when finals rolled around first semester, some girls stressing because they knew that they needed to do well to make the 3.0 requirement to rush. The rush process itself feels intense while you are in it, from both a PNM and active side, but again, it's an entirely different world. That said, my mother went to Ole Miss, but did not rush and was not greek. She was very happy that when both me and my sister rushed that we landed in houses with southern roots and a strong southern presence, even though we were on northern campuses - I remember my sister trying to decide between one house and DG, and my mom pushing DG all the way because it was founded in the South.
