Good luck! I have several friends in both fraternities and sororities at UCSB and they all seem like they have a great time.

Agree and co-sign on this.
My school and chapter had a dry rush. Worked rather and no missed any drinks until it was over.
We helped our Brothers up in Seattle with their rush a few times and it was a different world. Wet, very wet.
And seeing rushees drinking like fish and then chumming (sp?) was not very pretty. Nor did it help their case and position in rush.
Just be yourself, keep your eyes, ears and mind open. Ask questions but do not over talk. Let the Brothers talk as well.
Think of it as a job interview.
Break a leg and let us know how things go.
P.S.: What we did in Seattle was "back in the Day". I do not know what goes on there now.
However, given how much more important RM is these days as well as drinking laws, I would have to wonder about
young, under-age, minors drinking at any kind of rush event.
