a random rush tip...
 

I'm doing rush this week, and tonight is bid night :D We read the list of who we got in just a couple of hours, and I can't wait. Things have gone extremely well. Our return rates for pref night were only 1% below the sorority with the highest returns. Only 15 girls cut us all week, out of about 200 rushees.

Anyway, I noticed something this week, and I thought I'd mention it for the benefit of girls who may be getting ready to rush.

When you're sitting back watching a skit or a song or whatever, be mindful of the look on your face! Smile, and try to look like you're having a good time. Because seriously, the sorority girls will be watching your face. My house can often tell who would fit in best with us, and who is most comfortable with our group, by watching how girls react to our skits and stuff. If you sit in a chair looking unamused or stiff, we take that as a sign that we aren't the house for you.

Just because you're sitting back and watching a performance, rather than having rush chats, doesn't mean we're not still paying attention to you!!

Twinstars is right. We can tell if you're not paying attention or you're bored. Even if you are bored at least fake excitement.

I agree. Chapters spend alot of time preparing and rehearsing their skit and they would like the rush guests watching it to enjoy themselves!

so true...when a chapter has to cut people, they cut the bored ones. You can't risk inviting back someone who looks like they will cut you!
