Hi ZetaAce - actually, on my campus anyway, people fight tooth and nail to be a PX. They don't have to come to rush practices during the summer (or 2 weeks straight before fall classes begin); they don't have to buy the tee shirts or other uniform (including a long dress for preference - which a lot of sororities require you pay for one that is made like the other sisters!); and they have a reason NOT to talk to their sisters that they may not get along with. Its like this in all GLO's that I know about on campus. One of our sisters (immature as it was) turned in her pin because another sister was chosen over her as PX! Stupid huh? I wouldn't want to do it because the amount of stress I would have to endure not being able to talk to my sisters. I do not like NPC rush - I think the first 2 rounds are VERY fake (especially when you consider that MANY sororities require their girls to smear vaseline on their teeth to keep them smiling all night!) All prospectives must go to all parties the first night, and the second night (because the sororities can only cut them if they don't have grades) so all you hear all night is "Where are you from? What's your major? Do you like the dorm you're in?" I much prefer the BGLO intake process that I've heard about from a couple of my friends. My AKA girlfriend said that she really felt important to them, and they to her versus a rushee who told me one night to "Cut the crap and tell me about all the wild parties!" I think there could be a better way on my campus (PLEASE remember that this is only what I know from MY campus so I can't speak for others!) I haven't checked out the rush forum yet so I'll move there to post on the topic...I'm still learning my way around! But I am glad you're learning from others - ME TOO! That's what this forum should be about!
