Best rush tricks

PhiGam · #1 12-04-2007, 05:13 AM

I personally hate rush week, what kind of stuff do you guys do to make it go by faster. Fraternity members only.

I point at the most unattractive girl in the room and ask the potential rushee what he thinks of my girlfriend.

Another is to ask the potential rushee if he's checked out (insert worst fraternity on campus here) because you think he would fit in there.

Stuff like that, anything to help the manflirting not last as long.

You might want to put this in Fraternity Recruitment instead of Recruitment Stories.

You might also consider sticking your head in a toilet and flushing.

There are a few other guys like you around here who feel the need to impress upon us just how "elite" they are in nearly every post they make. It's boring and pathetic.

Unless they get into the racist/bigot stuff, I rather enjoy the Fratties trying to out-Frat eachother. You have to take it with a grain of salt.

And I really like the term "Manflirting".

well, i was thinking how elite could his chapter be if they have even one unattractive girl hanging around?

i do love the "manflirting" phrase.

My impression of guys like this is that they are always the ones the house had the toughest time deciding whether to pledge or not. And little do they know how close the vote probably was. It's nearly always the guys who think so highly of themselves who usually came the closest to NOT getting in.

It's a little disappointing he happens to be a FIJI, which is also my husband's fraternity. Way to NOT represent an otherwise great fraternity.

However, I can't help but love the word "manflirting." It is such a great way to describe the fraternity rush process or any other time men are trying eachother out as friends. Brilliant, and I'm stealing it.

I had heard of groups not allowing overweight women in their chapter to wear letters during recruitment and not being in the rush rooms, along with mandatory gym times right along with study hours. Ugh. And no, these are not the usual run of the mill rumors, this is coming from women in those chapters. So glad it's not true of every sister or every chapter...

PhiGam,
To make the week go faster, try getting drunk and hooking up with a different fug each night- I'm sure no one would miss you.

LOL.

i really like how the topic of this thread totally changed from what it was meant to be. i totally like this better anyway, cause they guy who started this seems like stereotypical "frat" boy.

anywho, i know that i was not one of the "TOP" choices. I think it makes me a better sister though cause i try to show my sisters everyday how much of an asset i am to the chapter. I currently have a very high up position within the chapter and many older sisters have said that they can see me being president soon.

and btw, one of my pledge sisters who was one of the top choices ended up being the worst pledge EVER! she totally disrespected the older sisters of the chapter, acted really slutty at socials, and kept missing meetings.

She ended up disaffiliating.

I think it depends on WHY they were on the top of the bid list. For example: girls like KSUViolet mentioned usually have end up being less awesome sisters. IMO, chances are she hasn't had to try very hard...ever. Those people are the people who think that the other new members and actives should do things THEIR way and make sure THEY get what they want, because they're so special that everyone wanted them and they're gracing us with their presence [in their eyes].

On the other hand, sometimes girls who are at the top of the bid list are there because they fit a certain chapter perfectly. Those girls are more likely to excel, IMO.

Deepher4Life · #12 12-30-2007, 02:13 AM

well i was told that i was wanted, but not a top choice because i seemed really shy. i think i might have come off as shy cause i was so nervous about making a good impression cause i tend to say the wrong (read: inappropriate) things sometimes.

IMO, thats the problem with formal rush. everything goes by so fast, and everyone is trying to put their best foot forward, you dont really get to see people for who they are. Now my sisters tell me and need to calm down and not talk so much. :/

Edited out of fraternal kindness to the person I replied to.

Depending on what goes into voting, you could be at the bottom of the bid list for reasons that have nothing to do with your looks or personality. If your grades are barely scraping the minimum to go through rush, that's most likely going to make you come in lower, although most girls could care less about that when choosing a sister (that is, it doesn't make them like you less, but it is something that has to be taken into account). I don't know how anyone could be offended about that.
