It's not about what you buy or how much you spend, it's about how you present yourself to the rushee's.

you are definately right about this- but unfortunately a lot of girls just look at how beautiful the houses and the girls are- and its hard to compete... we've always gotten most girls through COB just b/c we are more laid back abotu rush and when the girls hang out with us at these events and then go out with us later- they realize how much fun we are
and if they don't pledge- then they refer friends to us and definately keep in contact and chill... its pretty cool....
we are full members of the council and we have 3 sisters on the exec board as well- and one is the assistant pan-hell rush chair and will be running everything next year... so we definately have a say in whats going on (she's adamently opposed to us leaving) but its still really hard....
also- there is soooo much dirty rushing going on allllll the time that its difficult to play nice- we try to- but other sororities still talk a lot about each other...
i do like being a member in that the girls get to at least have the opportunity to meet us if they wish- sometimes you are scared during rush and don't want to go places on your own- and i worry that if we are not in pan- hell that we won't have that exposure... but since we get so many girls during cob.... it probably wouldn't matter too much anyway...
and we are definately keeping ourselves exposed as much as possible- wearing letters- getting involved with frats (we have 6 mixers alreayd set up! plus one with wayyy hot sigma chi in cornell
) and i guess the girls are having an open house party this weekend- and that really helps to get girls in too since they usually come iwth friends...
shadokat: i go to suny cortland- in upstate NY
we have a
d phi e chapter there too- and two of my best friends are in it as well... i actually pledged three weeks with them before depledging.... pm me if you want the whole story....
again- thanks guys for the advice!!!
