Hey everyone,
I've got a little question that I hope someone can help me with. I rushed one sorority in particular last spring, (didn't get in) and am rushing again after being encouraged to by several of the girls. I'm totally excited, and feeling pretty confident, but here's the thing: last year, rush was structured in a way that was sorta nerve wracking. On our first night, we went to the beach with a frat, on the second night, we had a kind of formal meeting where we were told about dues, responsibilities, shown a slide show, etc, and on the third night we had a game night with a different frat. The problem I had with this- and some other girls felt the same way- is that being thrown together with a bunch of hot guys when you barely know the girls is really intimidating. It seems to me that it would have been a relief to have the formal meeting first, thus making all the rushees feel a little more at ease. So my question has two parts: one, am I unreasonable in thinking that things would be easier that way? and two, is there a polite way that I can mention this to anyone before fall rush (which is in like a month)? I communicate via email with a couple of the girls, so it wouldn't be out of the blue. I'm probably freakin for new reason, but if anyone has some input, I'd love to hear it!
