Well, I went to a state school (what used to be called teachers colleges) and here are some of the major diffs from what I've read on GC.

-We never used recs (we got maybe one the whole time I was there and had no idea what to do with it)
-Rush before school started was unheard of
-Pretty much everyone who wanted a bid got one...maybe not to their first choice but if you wanted to be Greek, you could be.
-Like Erika said the legacy thing wasn't a big deal, we had them once in a while but didn't have entire pledge classes full of legacies.
-You didn't move into the house right away, all the houses were off campus and everyone was locked into housing by the time rush was over

Of course, this is just my experience...Penn State and the private institutions like Lehigh and Bucknell are totally different. But I would wager most states are like that.
