Once I finally told them the 2 houses I was rushing, they STILL did not give up even though that should have been a big clue. They most targeted people like me who were out of state, or people who came into the Greek system not knowing how it works. So it was all about getting numbers and going after the rushees who were least likely to know what was happening.

Some of my eventual pledge brothers got the same treatment, and a couple of guys in my rush group who were naive bought into it and pledged there.

Well, as seems to always be the case- a week or two later a bunch of their pledges left, including one guy in my rush group who I had hoped would pledge with me.

So I am not getting on TKE UGA for being that chapter. I AM critizing them for systematically deceiving and screwing over guys who come into the rush process just to keep their numbers up. This goes beyond the usual BS rushees get during rush in my view. The number of people who buy it and later change their mind is a testament to that.
