A Cappella Rush
I've been enjoying the rush threads so much, I thought some of you might be interested in hearing about a unique variant: a cappella rush! There are just a few campuses in the country where the Greek system is small, but the a cappella system is big, prominent, and serves many of the same purposes on campus (shrinking a small campus, a lifelong bond of brotherhood, alumni association, decades of tradition, etc.). At this handful of schools, a cappella rush has taken on many of the characteristics of NPC rush: coordinated attendance at the events of various groups, mutual selection where groups and "PNMs" cut their lists each night, a council that makes the rules, a formal final night called Pref, "dirty" techniques to pull in the most desirable freshmen, etc. etc. (Researching this parallel is actually what brought me to Greekchat in the first place.)
These campuses are so few, and the groups so small and distinctive, that I created a username just for this; otherwise I'd out myself to the whole Internet. Would anyone be interested in reading this kind of rush story?
