So, That summer, while i was wallowing, one of my friends came back from Europe and enrolled in the same school i was going to. I asked him if he wanted to rush with me, and he did. School started in august. Right before school started a guy started work with me who was a member of rice crispies, and me and one other guy at work started talking about it. It seemed interesting enough. It was the only real exposure to greek life i had seen outside of a few talks about hazing and intermurals. with some of the guys from cocoa pebbles.
the weeks leading up to rush week my buddy colby called me nearly everyday about rush "hey, we still rushing?" every day. Rush week rolled around and it is a little different than what i've read or heard about from the bigger schools. Rush was tuesday through friday, and monday was a "mandatory" meeting where the differnet houses had presentations about their houses. This is when they passed out our bid cards...seperated into 7 differnet boxes. We had to visit each house at least once and get a stamp in the corresponding box. The house we chose to rush is who we turned it into, and they could accept it or give it back. Anyhow, i missed the meeting and had to get a bid card from the greek life office. Tuesday night Colby, Tanner (my co worker) and I go around to the houses to get a feel for them. We started at cap'n crunch. They seemed really decent. The first guy who saw us offered us something to drink and eat, which we gladly took. They offered us a tour of the house (they have a very small house..actually two very small buildings for a house) but apart from the one guy showing us around, the other guys in cap'n crunch shirts didn't pay us attention, and we didn't really get introduced to anyone else.
We ended up getting our stamp from them, and piled back in the truck and headed to the fruity pebbles house. Now, I had seen a few of these guys in my classes...they were the "preppy" guys, and quite frankly i didn't like the ones i had met in class. I told the guys i was with i wanted to go in and get my stamp and leave...the other two were a bit more open minded and took the tour when we went in.. i just got my stamp and waited for them to get back. From what i saw of the house, its the nastiest house on campus and my friends confirmed that it was not worth joining.
more to be added later.
