i agree with you there should be a mix of different type of guys in a fraternity, and if we could have a mixed rush system that worked i'd be all for it. unfortunatly that doesn't happen.
the way we do things in my chapter is we have a dry rush. we tell the guys that drinking and parties is not one of the foundations of our fraternity, brotherhod is. we tell them that we're doing too many good things and making too much progress to let a bluto wannabe mess it all up. we also point out that were all betwen the ages of 17 and 23 so parties and drinking and girls come with the package but its not our sole ambition.
then we watch as the pledges drink and guage their actions as the semester progresses. if they do a 180 when they drink then we sit them down and talk to them about drinking. there's no reason to not bid a guy just cuz he doesnt know how to drink. thats one of the lessons you learn in college.
besides if a freshman is really too dumb to understand that a chapter with a wet house is holding a dry rush cuz we want to get to know them, then forget'em they're obviously not the type of guy i need to call bother.
