My daughter just finished rush and is also in the HC. As a fellow “northerner”, I get where you are coming from. You are smart to start looking for information! I would highly recommend that you and your daughter attend the preview parties that will occur sometime in February (check out the uapanhellenic site)

My daughter did not decide on Alabama until late January last year and we were not up to speed quick enough to attend this weekend event. I wish we had. The girls get to visit each sorority house and they have programs for the parents that explain the whole rush process. Luckily I had some experience with the greek system and I had a wonderful friend whose daughter went through rush at Alabama and brought me up to speed on rush in the SEC.

As far as rec’s we did not get the recommended 2 per house. We were happy when we found one person for each chapter! She still had a very successful rush and was always invited back to maximum number of houses during each round.

For contacts I used email, facebook, church, work, just about anyone I ran into to try and find recs. There were still about 3 houses that we couldn’t find contacts for and so I started contacting local alumnae groups in my area (google was my best friend in that arena). Total strangers and they were willing to help!
