A Retro Rush Rendezvous

[AlphaFrog]

This is funny...because those are all the chapters my undergrad had, but I can tell from the way rush is going, that it's not my undergrad. We didn't visit houses first round, and rush wasn't at the begining of school. Unless she rushed way before I did, and things have changed alot.....

When I rushed at IU, we went into bedrooms to talk at some of the houses. I didn't think of it as dirty rushing, just a matter of finding space. We had about 1800 girls go through rush every year, and at the time there were 22 houses, so we had around 81 girls in each rush group for the first round. Add to that the 100+ actives at most of the houses, and that's a lot of people in the house at once!

Am I the only one that thinks it's a little weird/creepy for rush conversations to be stationed in bedrooms?

Nah, I usually felt pretty comfortable in a another woman's dorm room when I was in college, no matter what the circumstances.

But maybe I'm looking back with a new perspective, because I did on-campus interviewing that would sometimes place me alone in a HOTEL room with one or two middle-aged guys. THAT was creepy. Having experienced that, chatting in some girl's dorm room seems like a piece of cake.

Yes and did hot-boxing cross anyone's mind? Creepy and uncomfortable - two or three sisters on one rushee!

That's the part I would feel uncomfy with. As for the bedroom issue, in some houses it is honestly a matter of not having enough space in common areas. I mean a bedroom's probably a better option than the kitchen.

Well it doesn't really matter since you planned on cutting M&M anyway. They probably just didn't think you were a good fit, despite having a good conversation. I have had great conversations with PNMs during recruitment, but just because she can talk to you doesn't mean she will fit it your chapter, even though you might like her.

Yeah...but it's like the Nada Surf song - There's still a feeling of rejection when she says that she prefers the company of others.
