While I'm sure the book has a wealth of info for PNMs and parents, I guess I just don't see why anyone would want to pay $$$ for tips and advice they can get for free online.

Well their website is not that great at all...hasn't been updated in a while I guess. Do you know if the authors were even Greek? They must not be well-versed and updated either on terminology for recruitment either! They are still calling it rush! I am pretty sure most schools are calling it recruitment now!

Uh, wrong thread, Sherlock.

The site owner of helpmerush.com is an Alpha Gam alumna. Her daughter, as previously stated, is a Phi Mu from Valdosta State.

For obvious reasons, posting real names and email addresses isn't the brightest idea, either.

And the helpmerush.com thread (specific to helpmerush.com discussion and NOT Sorority Guide book talk) wasn't good enough? Mmkay.

Let me look here... it was published in 2006. Somewhere I read that the authors went Greek in South Carolina. Looks like they almost always call it 'recruitment' in the book. I see a couple of uses of 'rush', of course that could be because around here, that's what people still use. When I hear alums asking PNMs about it or when PNMs are discussing, they tend to still say rush and I figure it's because it's easier to ask, "Are you going to rush?" that, "Are you going to go through recruitment?"

Oh FSUZeta, I've become a Smith's fan too! It's right by the zoo entrance and I spent some time this weekend as well as at the one in Homewood.
