			We do rush for about one week, which is crazy. I think rush should be about 2 weeks long. I know that the 'pledge' period is the time to decide if these people are a good fit for your organization, but the problem is that it is horrible to blackball kids when they are so excited to join.

 I'm thinking either Sigma Chi or SAE though, from the guys i've seen/met they seem the most like me. Southern but not like good ol' boys... my dad's side is all country bumpkins but my mom is from ireland so i'm not a true southern bred kid i guess you could say.
 
 The KA's and Sigma Nu's are pretty good fraternities but i don't know if i would fit, like i said though SAE and Sigma Chi are kinda the southern preppy guys who seem like a good bunch who can have fun.
 |  I resemble that remark.    |

When it comes down to it... i think me asking these questions just stresses me out more. I think just chillin out and waiting till rush week is really the best call.  |  Yeah, KA has pretty much the same rep everywhere. I think you and I are pretty similar because I looked for the same thing during rush. Go wherever you like the guys the most, everything else will fall into place.

 |  I currently live out here.  But by the Grace of God, I was born and reared in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and graduated from The University of Kentucky.  Plus there are nine generations of Southerners (by way of Alabama, the Carolinas, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia) in the family tree.

			Many times, the size of the Greek life has something to do with the length of rush. 
 But the hard problem is running so many people through in a short period of time. How do you truely get a feel for the members and vice versa.
 
 I always called it a cattle call and or a crap shoot.
 
 While I went to summer school, I got to meet almost all of the members of the Fraternities and pledged a local that went to a National.  I left and started my own as while each was good, I wanted something new.
 
 As someone so stated, lay back, meet members in classes or out in other public places.  See waht they are like.  It won't take long to get a feewl
 
 Bigger is certainly always better.  See what each does with charitys or participation on campus.
 
Good luck and I hope you find you home!
