If your friends go to a different school, their rush may be structured differently. Fall recruitment is different than spring/winter recruitment. In fall there are a ton of new students and a lot of people start off with a clean slate. In winter/spring, the fraternity men have had an entire semester to get to know students through mutual friends, dorms, clubs, classes etc and they will be pre-chosen. Think about it, you meet a cool guy in a class that is an ABC. You hang out with him during the term, study groups, lunch, pick up basketball games. You get to know some of his friends through hanging out with him. Spring semester comes and he, and a few of his friends/brothers, already know you are cool and like you since they have been hanging out with you. He invites you to a few of the events at the fraternity house. See how things play out?
