33girl,

I have to respectfully disagree with you. I am not suggesting that she hide it forever or lie if directly asked.

I am strongly recomending that she doesn't mention it during the extremely shallow interview system of formal Rush.

Formal Rush is not a time designed to get to know Rushees on anything but the most superficial level.

All it is a time period where you can kind of get an impression of a person's look, and basic personality. There is no time for anything else.

Some consistant advice that can be given PNM's is to be: Friendly, Outgoing and engaging.

Another piece of advice would be to hide the quirkiness we all have.

Look at the threads on here!

Formal Rush is about liking people yes, but also finding REASONS to eliminate. Especially at the schools that have large pools of applicants.

We have thread after thread on here talking about people being cut for revealing a quirk or having an off day . . . when if they hadn't revealed that then would probbaly have gotten a bid. And then if it came up later when they were better known no one would have cared?

For you girls on here from the large schools . . . Are you telling us that you don't know at least one Sister that has habits or shows regrettable behavior that if she had talked about during formal Rush would probably have gotten her cut?

If they like her, let her get a bid, let her pledge, and if they want to drop her for that one reason later . . . let them.
