This happened once when I was a rho gamma for formal fraternity rush. Of 300 guys rushing, 1 was cut by every house after first round. The rushee was in my group. This was rushee was for lack of a better term awkward and psycho. At one house which was known for housing a meth lab in the 70's, this guy asked brothers where the meth lab was. Also, during rounds, whenever he got a call on his cell phone (with the ringer on) he would stop whatever conversation he was having to take a phone call. At my house first round (and presumably others), all he talked about was how much he liked doing drugs. He skipped one house during first round because he already hated it that much; he left another house during the middle of a speech because he "needed to call his sick grandmother". At two houses he used the name-dropping technique of saying he knew so-and-so at this house, since that carried weight in his mind. At a few houses he flat out told the rusher that they should cut him because he was going to be in XYZ. XYZ happened to cut this guy because my co-rho gamma who also witnessed all this happened to be a member of XYZ.
It goes without saying that this guy eventually failed out of college.
