Just remembering some tips:
1) Try not to mention names in conv.
Ex-my big was telling me about this girl who was rushing my sorority and was telling her all about this guy John Doe in XYZ fraternity who she was in love with and was so excited we did a lot of stuff w/ them because she really wanted to snag him. Unfortunately, John Doe was my big's b/f of 3 years. Yeah...needless to say, she didn't recieve any more invitations back.
2) Some excellent advice I recieved before I rushed was to notice your surroundings. Girls in each house are going to tell you the same things...we do all these wonderful philanthropies, we're very diverse, etc etc etc. WHile they're all true, actions speak louder than words. Look around at how the sisters treat each other. DO they all smile at each other or are they shooting each other nasty glares when they brush past? Do they offer to help another sister out who may be passing out drinks or the such or do they just let her struggle an ask for help? Stuff like that. It was really great advice.
3) DO NOT drop out just because the sorority of your dreams cuts you!!! You WILL end up in the right place if you play by the rules. You may be devestated, but just pick yourself up and go back to the houses that asked you back. They see something awsome in you, so look for whats awsome about them, too.
