Totally out of my lane here as an NPC alum, but you may have come on a little too strong, especially since you didn't go to any of the open parties. In general, talking about mottos, etc. on the first meeting comes off as trying too hard. You stayed after the rest of the recruits left? This is not giving me a good vibe.
And you went to a rush party with the flu? Yikes! Hope you didn't give it to any of those guys you wanted to impress so badly.
I also think picking Joe Paterno was a bad choice (unless you're at Penn State... maybe). This isn't Debate, you're not trying to win your argument. You don't get a better grade for picking something risky. Memorable isn't always a good thing. Safer is better at rush. This may not be the same for fraternities as sororities, but you might want to stay away from political, religious, or controversial people in general.
Again, take this with a huge grain of salt since I never went through fraternity rush, but just my two cents.
(Also my dad was a rugby player. He considered it his fraternity.)
