LOL, you guys need to learn the girl way of doing things. Ask them what other activities they are in!!

Dixiecrat probably means he's trying too hard.

I'm pretty sure I'd give an auto-bid to a Constitution Party member.

It's a north/south thing. I was stunned when I first moved down here and men ALWAYS opened the door for me, or even stopped midway though and backed out so I could go through first, looked at me funny when I waited for them to get off the elevator because they were closer to the door, and apologized when they swore in front of me (it's funny to me, because my potty mouth is just as bad a s theirs).

Perhaps some posters prefer "men" who let the door slam on their face or rush out of the plane/elevator in front of them.

It's not a North/South thing. Men all over do this. It's not so much chivalrous as it is common courtesy for any human to do for another. From time to time, I do this for men without thinking. However I have found many Yankee men find it uncomfortable.

I think there's a difference between opening the door and holding it if you get to the door first and going out of your way to open the door (i.e. stepping in front for the sole purpose of opening the door). The former is natural, the latter is chivalrous.

PhiGam will agree, you should try this look during rush. It will go over well at UCLA, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Florida.... It's a timeless look

OOOMPA LOOMPA DOOMPETY DOO I've got another episode of "Growing up Gotti" for you.

Back to the thread topic...
1) Some schools do not allow women at Rush, so that should be a disclaimer. However keep the not swearing and trash talking women in as you never know if the brother will talking to will be offended.
2) Check out the culture of the campus where one is participating in Rush. Khakis and polos might be de rigeur down South, but if for example, you've been in FFA and you're interested in joining AGR in a Western State (Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, etc.) rocking your belt buckle and Wranglers, because that is who you are, is probably a better way to go.
3) Be yourself, because if you're phony it will eventually come out, and you might not make it to initiation, or into any other fraternity.
