Oh, and also the whole Mary Sue thing of "I was a very shy girl in high school, and most of my shy friends went to CaCa Community College, but I decided to spread my wings and go to Batshit U. Once I pledged the sorority who I thought I failed at impressing, I blossomed and am now the Governor of Alaska!" I hate to do this to you, but find some fanfic sites and read a story or two. The faux rush stories are written pretty much the same way.

There ARE some schools where rush is more laid back and might seem fake to other people who aren't used to that style of rush. For example, I didn't necessarily think the Drexel thread was fake - I just thought the writer was thoroughly unpleasant.
