Just a little, tiny thought I had -- you are interested in building Greek unity, so I would be *very* careful about going through rush. If anyone finds out what your objectives are, they may feel mad or hurt -- for example, if the sisters of a particular house REALLY, REALLY like you and they end up finding out that you were going through rush as sort of "research" into starting your own org., they may feel hurt or angry. I mean, by going to pref., I think you're at least sending the message that you're interested and you like them as much as they like you.

If you feel like it, I'd be more interested in hearing about your interest in formal rush. If you're looking to create an organization that is not NPC and not NPHC and not an already existing multicultural org., how would you have rush? I would think that your rush would, by default almost, be more like the NPHC process, because you wouldn't be a part of a larger umbrella group like NPC that is involved in rush. I hope that makes sense!
