Anyways, recently people have been telling me that rush is really hard/intense. I was wondering for anyone who's been through it or has insight, why is it so hard?
I mean Ive been to the informational here, and all rushing seems to be is a lot of walking around and small-talking with lots of people. Which seems like it could be fun. Is it hard because you don't always get invited back? I know people whove gone through rush, and from the impression I get of them, it can't be anything terrible or degrading. I was just wondering why everyone thinks its such a rough experience. Thoughts? Is there anyone who liked rushing?

It's hard because you're putting yourself out for people to make snap judgments about you. In many instances, you'll be judged by a large group of women, only a few of whom have met you, and perhaps none of whom have spoken to you for more than a few minutes. It can be emotionally draining when first impressions don't match.
