This my reasoning for you taking it out. Rush in the South is extremely cut throat especially at a place like LSU where you will be competing with a majority of freshman who are already going to have an advantage over you on the factor alone. Not only that everyone knows how some southern rushes work meaning alumnae pushing for their hometown favorites as well as a slew of legacies. All I am saying is that if it comes down to it and you and another girl are neck and neck, completely equal across the board and they can only take one of you it may be detrimental if you have a ring. Especially if a conservative alum happens to be there and is like oh no she has a nose ring and the other girl doesnt...lets take the other girl or even a conservative sister who has rank in the decisions. As sad as it is in America many are based on appearances and that cant be any truer than in South. Then on bid day put it in who cares. They will then care waaaaaaaay more about you than appearances. I mean if its first round and they have to cut 50% of the PNMs and only get to see them for 15-20 minutes....theres not a lot you can base your decision on rather than appearances and recs.
