lol, if thats why they join a fraternity, then you dont want them as a Beta. Congrats on getting that many, and doing it with a dry rush. As far as your question goes that you said we avoided... I agree with you on alcohol for the mass majority of what you said. I would love to throw a wet party in somewhere during rush, I think it presents a totally different look at the brothers, that you cant see otherwise. I think thats valuable. However, rules are rules, and you promised to uphold the code, meaning your not going to break those rules. That is why everyone does dry rush. Instead of breaking the rules, try changing the rules! Now, obviously, you probably wont be able to get people to change that rule, so you have to deal with it. You said

Well, there are many more situations that our critical to your success in life that require you to follow the rules, and you need to be able to control yourself.
Thats why my chapter doesnt have wet rush. We took the oath not to, and thats much more important to us.

You know, that's the same answer that our EC gives when we question the logic about a policy. He doesn't have an answer, so he just gives us the same BS.
Anyway, we just finished our rush week here. A dry rush, like every fraternity on campus. We did suprisingly well, considering that IFC didn't actually let chapters know when rush week was until 4 days before it started. Although, the IFC President's fraternity already had event's planned and the IFC graduate advisor's fraternity already had event's planned well before the offical dates were announced.
We had a total of 18 guys come to our house, from what I understand that was a pretty high number. 11 guys accepted their bid, three deferred, and we lost 4 guys to other houses. One guy went to another fraternity because he was a legacy and I think his father really pressured him. The other three were good guys, but were drawn into a different fraternity by promises of girls. That's like the dumbest reason to decide which fraternity to pledge, because every fraternity is going to have social events with sororities etc. Maybe it's better that we didn't get them in the end.
