I'm also not sure about rushing myself. I rushed in the spring of my freshman year, and got cut really badly after Philanthropy night down to one which cut me before Bid Day and during COB. I really want to go back to rush informally in the fall, but as I get closer and closer to school I'm beginning to have doubts. Most likely I will end up rushing, I've decided not to accept a bid from one particular sorority that cut me twice, should they offer me one(which I doubt they will). I know I make no sense saying that, but I realized that sorority is not for me.
I feel you should rush at least for the experience. You will meet alot of great girls rushing, even if you don't make it into any sorority. Trust me, if you have your priorities straight, getting cut from all the houses won't be the worse thing that will ever happen to you. I was at first a bit disappointed, but got over it when I was working on a project with some pledges from the sorority that cut me. I then realized that I couldn't call those girls my sisters. I don't have a problem with that sorority or their sisters(they're the nicest GLO on my campus), but I don't feel that's my home.
Rush won't be the worst thing you'll go through. Just smile, and remember that the sisters aren't monsters--they're nice girls who are proud to be where they are and continue their legacy. Have fun!
