So when she asked again I was like "i don't know what else to ask honestly" and she was like "well you're the one that wants to be here"  I'm not going to lie it kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I'm sure she meant well when she said it but I wish that Hoobastank as a whole made sure that all the girls who were newbies to rushing had an idea of ideal conversation. Then I got pushed off on another girl.. it happened to be her first time rushing too.. she made a big effort to keep the conversation flowing but there wasn't really a connection. I plan on going back though because i can't really blame the girls I talked to at Hoobastank for not having a good experience if it was their first time going through it on the other side. Hopefully next time I'll have a better experience.

sidenote: do houses practice rush? ie. go over the types of conversations to have, how to present on the organization, etc? even "naturals" need to practice that kind of stuff.
