Tips for rushing

[~LyreLove~]

So I'm going to be transfering to a university next year and I can't wait to rush! All of my friends have posted pictures of their rush experiences so far and its so tempting!

ANYHOO

I'm sure I've done bad by actually researching alot of sororities and getting attached to some when I shouldn't but I really want to find the right one. I know its all about 'how you feel' and 'being yourself' but are there any other tips on how to narrow it down? I'm sure I'll make the right decision in the end when I get to go through rush.

Another question. I've heard a few bad things about sororities and 'dirty rushing'. I've heard that its basically promising someone a bid but is there anything else that is considered dirty rushing?

Thanks =)

I wonder if you want to be an AChiO

They will help you narrow it down. You won't get asked back to some houses.

Here's a tip: Change your username to something that's not a sorority symbol.

Also, read these threads:

Your recruitment counselors will explain dirty rushing and help you recognize it. I wouldn't be too concerned about it, just aware. And there's nothing wrong with research! It's good to know the facts about different organizations you're hoping to join. But, make sure you keep an open mind during recruitment. And make the decision for yourself! Talk to your recruitment counselors about how you feel each day and they will help you. Good luck!

As others have mentioned, your user name is disrespectful and just plain ridiculous. You won't get much help here until you think about what you might have done wrong and change it.

The best way to get pros, cons, experiences and memories about certain chapters is to ask the girls themselves during recruitment!

Aside from all the overkill snark on this thread, you really should:
1. Change your username. The fact is, most sororities won't see this as a compliment, but as a cocky move. And it won't help you.
2. Research is great! But keeps two things in mind. First, you have to keep an open mind. Chapters of each of our international/national organizations are all different. Second, a chapter might like the fact that you are interested enough to learn more about their national/international organization, but they might not like it if you go over board. Just don't go into stalker-dom.
3. Now isn't the time to worry about "dirty rushing". Your recruitment counselors will explain the rules to you at the beginning of recruitment.

Thing is, there really isn't any snark. Less than sunshine and rainbows honest answers, but no snark.

She thinks all posts should be like this.




PS: That picture will never cease to crack me up.

I have no problem with being obnoxious or even bitchy when called for and frequently am both of those things but sorry, no, I don't think it's funny when threads like this get slammed with sarcasm. It's not very welcoming. Why not just tell her what to stop doing and why?
