Although there are lots of cases where the sorority knows the rushee (and vice versa) long before rush actually begins, many rushees don't know a soul in the sorority before attending the parties. I've always thought that "rush" was an odd way to pick sorority sisters since you may make a lifetime committment based on a couple of hours of conversation. But, in any chapter of 50 - 300 girls, there will definitely be many with whom you could become very close, even if the sorority was not among your favorites earlier in the week.

So true. Wish the young ladies saw the big picture instead of just focusing on "THE ONE". But that's part of growing up I guess.
