Rush has been in full swing for a solid week now, and last night was the first rush event of the summer, and pretty much the first time the brothers were able to meet the rushees.
Had a Barbeque at the house, which is a weekly Thursday night event. I couldn't make it b/c I still haven't found a job here in KC, so to make to Lincoln wasn't a possibility. All the information I'm getting is from our chapter's message board, which is a great tool for the rush chairs in getting the word out about guys.
8 rushees came out for the BBQ. Pretty good numbers for this early, considering a lot of the rushees have yet to graduate. (Some rushees ask to not be contacted until they have graduated, so the % of rushees going through rush is only partial).
2 of those 8 guys were given bid cards, so we may have our first signings sometime this week. Most of the reviews have been positive of all the guys that were there, but a couple were apparently difficult to get a read on, and one guy was very quiet, and only one person had a decent talk with him. We have a bunch of guys from one city in NE that came together and from the comments looks like they were difficult to get on an individual basis, which I think is an important thing to see, since it's unlikely we will sign all of them.
Tommorow is a rush event in Ogallala, which should get guys from Western Nebraska. Again I won't be able to head out that way, but I'll post more comments when they come in.
Next Saturday is a rush event in Sioux Falls. I'm definately going to be there for that, not sure if I'll make the thursday night barbeque b/c I hope to have a job by then but we'll see.
