I read rush threads to hear about the PNM's experience and what rush is like at different schools, not to read 5 pages of GC members' comments about their own sororities. Besides, my letters are in my signature and my screen name. It's pretty obvious what sorority I'll be rooting for! 
I think that it could really make a PNM feel bad if she has just been cut by her favorite house, XYZ, and she really doesn't fit in at ABC. Then when she comes back here to post, there are umpteen people posting "I hope you loved XYZ!!" and "GO ABC!!"
Why don't we limit our posts in the rush threads to constructive/helful advice or encouragement to the PNM who is being so kind as to give us a window to her experience.
Just my .02...

Very well said, and I agree completely! I can remember at least one PNM commenting that the "shameless plugs" made her feel uncomfortable. Aside from that, I'm sorry and I don't mean to sound rude, but they are really boring to read. We are all proud of our organizations, and that pride is reflected in many of our signatures. Rather than cheering for my organization in particular, I just hope that every PNM here finds the best home for her, and of course I have *no way* of knowing where that would be!
