That's actually a pretty amazing story. It's best to avoid discussion of drinking at rush, so you might just want to leave it with the activities you got involved with POST-MIP if you're rushing at a competitive school. On the other hand, it might cause you to stick in your rusher's mind and you'd come off as more genuine and a great potential new member.

If you're asked about why you got involved with those activities, don't lie--telling the truth is going to be more endearing than avoiding it just because it's on the list of topics to avoid. When they talk about subjects to avoid, it's usually the "I GET WASTED EVERY DAY BECAUSE I'M SOOOOO BAD!!!" side of drinking that would make you come off as...well, less than desirable. Your story is legit and I wish you the best of luck!

You probably wouldn't have time to tell the entire story, anyway. Rush conversations move quick--parties are usually 30 minutes to an hour long (I think our pref is only ninety minutes long?) and you get to talk to a lot of different girls.
