i always like to take my cues from older sisters who have not only been through rush before on the sister-side but also like it a whole lot! the sisters that enjoy formal rush the most will have the best advice regarding conversation starters and meeting girls and getting them interested in our particular sorority...regarding conversations, a lot of sororities know what NOT to talk about, but i find it helpful to make lists of questions TO talk about as each round progresses...it's also good to remember that even though the questions may get boring for some rushees, it's all about your delivery: excitement is contagious after all and even though they may hear the same question over and over again from different houses, it's your response or your follow-up anecdote that makes the conversation sparkle
