One of our rho chis told the girls who the smallest chapter was and who the biggest chapter was, and explained that it was supposedly "better" to be the biggest chapter (she was actually from the biggest chapter).
Another problem that I ran into this year was the whole "going out" subject. Rushees are not supposed to go out, especially to fraternity halls, so that they don't run into sorority women. Rho Chis are supposed to make sure that not only do they know this, but they plan events so that they don't go to the fraternity halls. The first or second night of rush, I wanted to go visit one of my guy friends that I hadn't seen all summer, so I went to his room, thinking that it was too early for any girls to be over there, anyway, and there wasn't a party going on, so that shouldn't have been an issue. There was a group of about 3 rushees, one of which came into his room (which I was hiding in when I found out that they were up there) and proceeded to introduce herself to me, not knowing that I was in a sorority. I was also invited to SEVERAL rush parties for one fraternity, and I felt completely mean by the end of the week, because I had turned the guy down every day. Why should I have to be the one hiding? Why should I have to be the one who can't go to parties so that these girls can go out? I went through rush, I did the whole staying in deal... why can't rho chis just make sure that their girls understand that this is not a cool thing to do?
Anyway, enough Rho Chi venting, I have one more rush vent to do... this year, a sister of one sorority told one of the rushees that another sorority was a "lesbian sorority" and that's why they didn't mix with anyone. Those were both lies. I could have told plenty of lies about other sororities, but why would I want to? If a girl chooses a particular sorority even though I didn't like them, I won't say, "Yeah, they were my last choice because they are the most unclassy girls I have ever met." Please. Where's the greek unity?
