speaking of hotboxing...
My personal rush experience involved a case of extreme false promises... the two girls that rushed me on pref day said verbatem, "We want you to know that we PROMISE we have a place for you here, I promise we will see you tomorrow," and I am confident i wasn't just reading into them as a wishful thinking rushee... I, of course, preffed them, I thought to myself how could i not pref them after they were so kind to me. Come bid day, however, i got my second choice. It really made me bitter for awhile about the whole process, and I wondered if i really wanted to be a part of something that can at times, such as in my case, be so misleading and flat out phony. I understand that a certain amount of shall we say excess bubliness is necessary during recruitment but to go to the extremes that i experienced in that house, in my opinion, is wrong. I did not report them but I know they would get in serious trouble if panhellenic or nationals were informed what went on.
