I'm a guy, but I think it all works the same. I have found in rushing the best way to do it is to show how much love you have for your brothers/sisters, and how much you love the fraternity. You can brag all day about awards and everything else, but when it comes down to it the reason you join is for the friendship. I think everyone would agree that they would rather be in a house that wins no awards and have great friends than to be in a house that wins every award but hate each other. When talking to a rushee just remember the best thing to do is show the love for your brothers/sisters, show passion for the house and how much it means to you, and be honest. I always tell kids how good other houses are as well and to make sure that they check them out before signing. I told a kid how good our rival fraternity was and he signed his bid right there just because our rival fraternity had bashed us when he was over there. He said that was the thing that impressed him the most that I was more worried about him joining the right house instead of my house. He said those are the kinds of brothers he wanted to have. Be classy and don't put down other houses because that just makes you look jelous.
Hope some of this helped
