Rushing, it sounds as though you have a decent basis for spring rush. Since you have atteneded some parties, surely you met some brothers. Use those meetings to form friendships as you get to know other brothers in the houses.

Ask good questions; make comments from what you know now. Compliment them on the positive aspects you have observed. Be honest and tell them that by waiting, you have seen the positive aspects of fraternity membership, and now you want to be a part of that brotherhood. Sell them on what you can contribute--you still have two years left plus this semester! Since you are a year older, you have skills that freshmen may not have: leadership, the ability to make mature judgements, etc.

You come across as thoughtful and well-spoken. Good luck!
