Questions about my rushing, so far
I've been to 5 fraternities. The first one, I went out to eat with the president; he invited me to a party but I said I couldn't go (I really did have a prior obligation). I haven't heard from them since. The second one, I got a brief house tour, prefunked with some of the guys, then went to party. I haven't heard from them since. The third one, I just got a house tour and talked with the president. I have heard from them since. The fourth one, I just sort of hung out there last weekend and then again during the middle of this week. They'll probably be inviting me over soon, though I'm not that interested in their house. The fifth one, BBQ and hung out last weekend. I thought they'd invite me over again this weekend but they haven't yet (Yes, I know it's only Friday). Another place called me about coming over last weekend; I said I was booked and to call me again, but they haven't yet.
If a house doesn't goes a week without calling me, should I just assume they're not interested? I'm not the kind of dude who likes to invite myself over. |
WTF is "prefunked"? Like pregaming?
Damn, I haven't even graduated and you kids are changing the terminology. :D |

So am I going to get any answers from you folks?

Um, this is a tricky one. I would say if there were any you were really interested in, to give somebody a call and hint that you want to hang out. Or call a brother and invite him to lunch or something. The ones who you haven't heard back from might assume you were not interested and making excuses. Though I do have to ask, are you a high school student? |

I feel like I'm cooler than half the guys in every house I've visited. I definitely want enough chances to hang out---enough that my personality can manifest itself. I've gone to a few places where I just got a house tour, got asked some questions, and then left with a "we'll tell you what we have coming up" type thing. I just get a little antsy when a week goes by since I last visited a place that I actually liked. |
How are you rushing when school is about to be out? Shouldn't you have already picked a house to have been rushing. I know that my pledge class was already initiated about a week ago.

If that's the attitude you're putting across, no wonder you're not getting asked back. Although I'm w/ gmIII - why are you rushing now? Is your school on quarters or trimesters or something? |

..but if you were really concerned with not being invited back, and you were on a semester system (which I thought you were), I would have said, "Um.. school is almost over, if it isn't already. The brothers are probably more concerned with finals, summer vacation and graduating.. not with who to invite to their house." However, if the brothers are actually holding rush events right now, that's a different story. Although, based on what you said you've done with the brothers so far, I'm not sure if that's what's happening here... |

Another question: Do Greek systems sometimes have an exclusive online forum where they discuss Rushees? Not this one, of course; I'm talking about online communities at particular schools. |

If you want to know if a decision has been made, why not go directly to the source? Then again, it seems as if you aren't even sure if you are even rushing. |

How big is the greek system and how often do they recruit? How many classes do fraternities usually have a year- 2 or 3? Maybe even 4? Is there an informal recruitment period going on? (Which is why you're visiting the houses)... Or did you just decide you want to rush a fraternity so you figured you would get a head start for their Fall class? Or Summer class if there is such a thing at your school. If you're interested I would suggest casually expressing your interest and telling them you're up for partying more with them. Something along those lines. Again, it depends on your campus culture. Just don't come off as desperate. As for your other question- I doubt any chapter is stupid enough to trash talk rushees over email or on a "private" forum. There's always guys who leave their Facebook/email/etc logged in like idiots, so it would be foolish of them to do so. |
It would be totally awesome if it's not officially 'rush season'.
Cuz then you're worrying about things for no reason. That would be epicly hilarious. |

lol yea reading through this I was like why are you rushing in may? even if its a trimester it should be like mid-pledging. I feel like you should wait till it is actually rushing in the beginning of the semester. But if your place is holding rush now well for one that is weird. Anyways if you are rushing and it is rush week, well if you don't hear from them for more than a week probably they aren't interested. At the same time I read that you attended some or one event/s? So probably assumed you weren't interested. But advice you should text bros or facebook them and tell them that you are interested cause during rush week the rush chair/committee is swamped with random people so if you want them to notice you make an effort to stay in contact.
