I was actually MORE nervous as a rusher than as a rushee! I was so worried that I would do something that would get my sorority a rush infraction or say something stupid or not represent my sorority well. My way of breaking the ice during the first round of rush parties was to say to my rushee, "I don't know about you, but I am so nervous!" It helps to ease the tension a bit, and it puts the rushee at ease b/c she knows that you're just as nervous as she is. And once you master the first round of parties, you'll be fine with the rest. I still had a little trouble with good "pref conversation," but hopefully I am getting better. I just feel stupid b/c saying stuff like, "Do you feel like you've found a home?" is just like total cheese to me!
