my advice is to rush in the fall of your *sophomore* year, not frosh. People who rush frosh year end up being "super-sorority" people, devoted to their house and ignoring/indifferent to almost everyone else. A little overgeneralization, maybe, but I think its caused by rushing frosh year. Everyone starting college is anxious about meeting new people, whether they'll fit in, etc. A house promises instant friendship, and as part of the whole initiation process you'll spend a LOT of time at the house and with your fellow members. This seems to lead to building friendships among them and a distance from other students.
another disadvantage of frosh rush is that its a pressure cooker; you've barely spent a few days at college and now you need to make a big decision on what girls you want as friends, and they're judging you too. Why not spend frosh year making friends in the dorms, getting used to college, AND meeting girls from various houses? Over the course of a year you'll have plenty of time to figure out what houses would be right for you, and if you make some friends in them you'll have some allies pulling for you when you do rush (and you'll still have 3 years to enjoy membership).
My 2 cents, anyway.
