I'm so glad I found this forum and decided to ask you all about this. Because I was looking at it totally backwards! As far as I know, the sororites on campus know my girlfriend is rushing but don't know who she is. I think it would be best to keep it that way. She's only been to one formal so I have a good feeling she doesn't have any idea about house stereotypes. I'll just let her go through rush blind and I'll keep my mouth shut until Bid Day. It'll be more fun that way. Thanks again for all your sound and objective advice!
Remember that at the end of the day, you're the only one who can make the decision of whether to go through recruitment or not.
Certainly there are situations in which you are probably less likely to get a bid, but don't ask us "whether you SHOULD rush" or not. That decision is up to you.
