If you get a rushee who's upset about not getting invited back to her favorite(s) and is thinking about dropping, remind her that she's got nothing to lose by staying in. She can even go to preference night without signing anything if she decides the remaining chapters aren't for her.

I baked my girls chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies on the first day of open house, to help calm their jitters. They may have looked lovely and polished, but they pigged out on the cookies. Freshmen that are missing home especially love the comforting, homemade treats. I also carried breath mints, cough drops and other things like that around in my tote bag.
