Again from the dictionary:
Rush

transitive senses
Etymology: Middle English russhen, from Middle French ruser to put to flight, repel, deceive, from Latin recusare to refuse -- more at RECUSANT
6 a : to lavish attention on : to court b : to try to secure a pledge of membership from

And isn't that how a lot of chapters do rush (mine does).
