1. Make sure to smile and take an active interest in the conversation. It may be overwhelming but it will make you stand out if you take a personal interest in the girl you are paired with.
2. RELAX! Have fun! Rush may be really stressful but it can be really fun too! I think the reason why I enjoyed rush so much was that I didn't take it too seriously. I knew I would be happy wherever I ended up.
3. Keep an open mind. I went into rush with some favorites but I ended up really not "clicking" with one of the houses I had loved previous to rush. I also ended up falling in love with one of the houses I hadn't given a second thought to previous to rush, I didn't end up going there but I was open to going XYZ.
4. Be friendly, even if you don't like the house don't be rude about not liking it! It's just good common sense and shows that you have manners.
I can't wait to be going through rush on the other side!
Too bad I have to wait until January to experience formal on the other side.
