Way back in the day when I rushed, at Ball State all the guys had to go through Round Robin and visit all of the fraternities. Some things that made me cut houses after that round...
Snapping and chanting at the front door. I was ok with the chanting, but the snapping wierded me out!
One chapter had an active brother who was at least 40 years old! Not an advisor, not an alum, but an active brother who was old enough to be my dad! That really wierded me out since they were the smallest fraternity too!
One house absolutely REEKED of Polo cologne. Literally all 80 brothers were wearing it. Everyone in my round robin group made fun of it too.
On one house tour, the active said "This is where we usually get high..."
I really liked the guys I met at Phi Sig, but the thing that sort of clenched it for me was that they had Sigma, their Chow mascot. I was going through major dog withdrawl at the time...
The ironic thing is, when I was house corp president, I was the one who had it written into the lease that pets were forbidden! (long story)
