i have something to add about something a member should not do or say.

when i was rushing, i was hanging out with some other girls and the members of a sorority after an event in a dorm room. a few of the current members starting talking about a party they went to the night before and instead of trying to get the girls rushing involved in the conversation by explaining who so and so was that they were talking about or even where and when the party was they talked about it as if they were all alone in the room. it was very rude and made the sorority seem cliquish. it almost made me not want to join.

i know this may seem like a given rule to a lot of people, but to them it wasn't. so keep in mind to explain simple things to make sure everyone feels involved and wanted.
