I do think that an open mind is the best way to go through rush. I might have recounted this story earlier, but I'll repeat it at the risk of being redundant. There was a freshman who went through Spring formal rush and wanted a particular sorority, she suicided them, and wound up without a bid. Next semester, she went through informal rush with only this sorority and again no bid. She went through formal rush again as a second semester sophomore. She wasn't so picky this time, but she preffed only two sororities, and again she wound up without a bid. Everyone felt so sorry for her. Finally, in the Fall of her junior year, she went through informal rush again, but with an open mind and a sense of humor. (You have to have a sense of humor to rush four times!) She finally got a bid from the second sorority that she preffed. She was so happy! She probably could have spared herself a lot of disappointment if she had kept an open mind from the beginning, but she probably wouldn't have appreciated her bid and her sorority as much.
