Being myself and being unique is what helped get me where I am today. There are the standard questions that we all know (stuff like "what is your major")and , and I answered that question...one thing that really seemed to help was that if I was asked a question like that I'd answer it and I'd be sure to ask the rusher about herself. Like if she asked me if I was living in the dorms, I'd answer the question but then I'd turn it right back and ask her if she lived in the house and if she enjoyed it. That would catapult a new conversation about what it was like living in the house and stuff, and it worked in my favor because we were actually engaging in conversation that was informative about the sorority which looked good in the rusher's eyes because I was genuinely interested in learning more. I'll agree with everyone else; before rush, memorize at least one interesting thing about each sorority and be sure to mention it when you go into that house. It's always nice to meet someone who has done a little research first. We want smart girls in our houses and if you can do something like that to prove yourself clever, it helps a lot. But just be yourself! I was, and it was amazing the stuff me and some of my now-sisters bonded over during rush. I was asking about what the girls did just for the hell of it, and one of them mentioned going to Classic 50's (which is a local drive in place like Sonic) to eat as a big group and another mentioned the grilled cheese sandwiches form there which is what i order everytime i go, and we completely bonded over our mutual love for the grill cheese sandwiches. It was little stupid stuff like that that made me know exactly where home was, and it's just sooo cool if you get to that point where you and a potential sister during rush have that "ohmygod that's so awesome!" bonding moment. But it takes being yourself.
