1. Each rush week, about how many "rush crushes" do you have? I had a few girls I wanted in our chapter, but only 1 "rush crush" in the sense that I wanted to DIE if we didn't get her. (We didn't get her
)
2. By pref, do you have a pretty strong feeling about which girls want which houses?
Generally, yes, but there were always surprises.
3. Do you get a feeling or hear rumors about which houses want which girls?
No. You'd hear stories about dirty rushing after, but never during.
4. How often do you pref someone, confident that they want your house, and they reject a bid?
I had the opposite happen to me - I was so sure this girl was a lost cause. She was SO adorable, but she didn't seem interested in what I had to say and our conversation was forced. Turns out she had just had a really bad morning and ended up accepting our bid!
5. On the first round, how many girls do you honestly not remember at all? What about by pref?
I'm usually good with "gut feelings" and names, but I'm awful at remembering people when I get introduced to a lot at once.
6. Is it likely or unlikely that your biggest rush crush ends up pledging, and becomes a big part of your house?
Like I said above, the one huge I had went somewhere else (where, in hind sight, was perfect for her). Echo what was said about "Murphy's Law" though, some of the girls I didn't remember turned out to be the most amazing active members of the chapter. I haven't had anyone we loved turn out to be ATROCIOUS members, but it's the quiet ones you have to watch. I was told I too, was a big question mark for a lot of people who surprised everyone. Some people just don't "interview" well.
