Rush shouldn't be any of those things and I hope there aren't schools promoting that it should be. Rush should be guys having conversations with rushees and maybe a speaker. If some girls want to come hang out and wait for the party after official rush ends that's fine, but they don't
have to be there for rush (and like the gimmicky parties, they may actually distract from the purpose of rush and make it difficult to have good conversations with rushees).
I guess the way I look at it, rushees already know that fraternities hang out with girls. In the cases of the better houses, they probably even know what groups of girls it is you hang out with. I don't see a real benefit to girls being at rush other than a house kind of making the statement "look, we hang out with great girls". And I think that should kind of already be a given, and at worst when a rushee asks about the houses social calendar, it isn't too hard to mention what houses you do a lot of stuff with and accomplish the same thing.
