>>>"I just didn't know" isn't a good excuse for anything. Rush meant ALOT to me and so I went out there and researched it... that's how I ended up here at GC!
I think rush is, for the most part, an accurate process that eliminates the girls who really "want it" from the girls who are indifferent. The former will research the process of their own intiative whereas the latter won't!<<<
While my daughter is more like you, Shark, and researched things and asked around so she would have all the information and recs she needed before recruitment, not everyone knows to do that. She had my influence and we knew what to do to make things work for her. However, not everyone's mom was greek and they may not know how to even start the process. That doesn't mean they don't "really want it" or that they wouldn't make good GLO members.
My town has a loosely organized city Panhellenic Assn. made up of any interested NPC alum groups (or just individuals if their GLO has no local alum group). We hold an ice water tea after high school graduation each year (mostly publicized by word of mouth) and give the PNM's information about sororities, recruitment, etc. We also have them bring a picture and information packet for each NPC group at the school they will be attending. We then divide the packets up by GLO and get recs written for the girls. It works well for our local girls and gives them a good start.
