I have tried to become more involved with my extraciricular activities, I do RSA (resident student association)im part of our campus TV station, i'm a member of the creative writing club and i'm hoping to be an Orientation leader this summer, and my GPA is 3.60. Geez i feel like im bragging just typing this i don't know how i would say this stuff without looking like some nerdy overacheiever. I'm not really a shy person i just don't have the ability to say i do this this and this without seeming obnoxious. Thanks again - Cowboyduff

Cowboyduff,
You're not bragging at all... The whole point of rush is to sell yourself -- to prove to the guys that you will be a benefit to the fraternity. They need to hear these things, and I guarantee you that they'll want to hear them because they'll need to get to know about you in order to determine if you'll be an asset to the fraternity. It sounds like you've got a lot going for you!
On the other hand, the fraternity is also selling itself to you. So, make sure that the principles that the group was founded upon are ones that you believe in, and that the men in the fraternity are ones you would be proud to call "Brother". Ask questions during Rush, find out what the fraternity's strengths are and what they stand for. What philanthropies do they get involved in? What's their chapter GPA? Do they seem close to each other, do they know where their brothers are from, what their interests are, etc.? All this information will help you decide if the fraternity is right for you.
Again, good luck! And keep us posted!
