Some answers:

*It wouldn't hurt to contact them about a recommendation, the worst thing they can say is "No, it's past the deadline."

*If you've been in college a few years already, your HS situation/activities don't matter.

*If you ask about money, they should be able to give you an approximate breakdown of costs. It's important for them to know that all of the PNMs are informed about what costs are involved BEFORE they are extended a bid.

*Costs will vary but will include local and national dues, your New Member materials, etc.

*They should typically be able to tell you what their housing plans are if you ask. Sometimes, they'll discuss it during recruitment.

*Colonies will typically take enough women to make them about the same size as the other chapters on campus. Example: If every chapter on campus has about 100 girls, the colony will try to take about that many.

*You'll be meeting other interested women during the recruitment events, and it's cool to talk to them and get a feel for who they are.

*We can't say what your chances are of getting a bid. You might get a bid, you might not. You'll just have to go to the events and see what happens.
