What to say...what not to say

[Ktduke]

I find it funny you get all this info about "how to answer questions" what to say at recruitment and what not to say" yet we tell the girls to have an open mind and "be yourself" what a joke! If you are being yourself then no subjects should be off limits. Formal rush is just a big acting session. Just look at the differences between the Rush Photos and the photos on IG of the first alcohol allowed parties. Then you get the true stories...those sweet pledge girls holding cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other. Maybe the questions who smokes, drinks excessively underage and which house are the biggest part houses should be a topic of conversation. Maybe politics, gays, the issues of society should be allowed. I know when I got in I was shocked at how behavior changed. This house was nothing like me morally it had all been an act durning formal rush. Girls would get trashed and hook up with different frat guys each weekend. My big was nothing like me. She was dumb as a rock when it came to any real issues and all she wanted to do was take me to parties and try to force me to get drunk. So if they truly want you to find a home where you fit in then be yourself would mean exactly that...allow them to talk about whatever they normally talk about then you would know if there was a fit. I eventually worked out my issues with my big but it was not fun or easy. I did stay with my top tier house and had good experience but this has always been a pet peeve of mine. If you really want to know the girls ask the hard questions about the "off limits topics" those are the ones that will cause issues later on!
