Wondering about fraternity rush in general...
 

I am currently attending spring rush at my campus. My target house held a rush informational, along with all the other houses. I noticed that there appear to be a ton of people visiting the chapter house and hanging around the rush table. So I would assume I would be having quite a competition for a bid this semester.

I'm wondering if I need to tell the fraternity brothers that I am interested in potentially pledging to them or no? I heard from the rush chair that around the end of rush, they would notify the rushees who expressed interest to pledge to the fraternity (so I assume they would know who want to pledge or not already).

Does going to rush events mean you are definitely interested in possibly pledging or do I need to tell a brother sometime before they hand out bids that I am interested in pledging their house?

Since rush is dry now I don't know why anyone would be at a rush party who isn't interested in pledging.

And if it seems like your "target house" is super popular you might want to not put all your eggs in one basket.

You do need to talk to a couple of the brothers. Ask questions about the chapter and their national. Being interested in the chapter will let them know you are interested.
