I think it's really easy to say that there is no pressure, but I think inherently there is. I honestly didn't like any of AOII's parties ( they did Mardi Gras with everyone dressed up like it's Halloween....Mardi Gras isn't like that!; they did Christmas party which was okay and pref was at an alum's house but was outside in the middle of August in Louisiana-- did they not realize it was hot as hell with a gazillion mosquitoes?) Anyway, I didn't even really bond with the girls that rushed me. I still couldn't bring myself to join another group. The funny thing is....rush is such a poor example of what a chapter is! What I learned later was that my impression during rush was a very skewed picture of what my chapter really was. How can anyone really make a reasonable decision with the way rush is set up?
