Here at GSU...
IFC Fall Rush is 13 weeks this year because we were able to get rid of the Summer Silence period in our rush constitution. Smoker week and Bid Night is usually 3 weeks into school. I would rather have the week-long rush, but it's not possible at a commuter school. A rush our length does let us get to know our rushees very well before we pledge them, and lets the rushees see if a particular chapter is for them. Here are some pro's and con's:
Rushee Pro's & Con's:
Pro's:
1) You get to meet all of the chapters if you want, and make an informed decision on who you want to pledge.
2) You still get to go to many events if rush isn't around your schedule
Con's:
1) If you already have made up your mind, you have to keep waiting till you get a bid and start pledging. Many tend to get impatient.
2) Sometimes chapter's you are rushing may forget the rushees that have been around from the beginning.
Chapter Pro's & Con's:
Pro's:
1) You get to know a rushee very well
2) You get a longer period of time to have more elaborate events
Con's:
1) More events=more money
2) Keeping the rushees motivated until bid night
3) Keeping the brothers involved in rush
4) Too many events to ask off from work for
5) Being creative year after year with events that don't involve alcohol (all of rush is dry)
