Thanks so much for all of the advice. It's really helpful! And we had our first RUSH event yesterday, which is kind of hectic and crazy since it's all club RUSH (so all guys and girls clubs are there). But we talked to a lot of girls and are very pumped about our individual RUSH on Thursday. On Facebook we have 103 girls confirmed to come and over 60 maybes. This of course is no definitive number; there could be less, there could be more. We are stoked and have done very well at talking to girls.
Also, I think our presence at the all club RUSH yesterday just squashed all the rumors. So, no one will have to even question our activity on campus anymore.
Another thing I actually heard from members from big clubs on campus are that they don't care about Spring RUSHES and they aren't a big deal because they aren't actually going to remember any of these girls' names come time for Fall RUSHES. All I thought when I heard that was, "Thank you for allowing my club a way to influence the potentials' opinions of us." I understand, especially with a huge club that attracts a lot of PNM's, that it can be crazy and you meet so many girls at once, but that can't be an excuse. My club has a lot of methods we're going to be using to remember girls' names and information about them for when the Fall RUSHES come around.
And as for the lunch in the cafeteria thing, I actually don't eat at the cafeteria, I think the food there isn't very good. BUT we have been trying to get small groups together to meet in the food court. We're slowly, but surely doing what we can to get to know girls outside of RUSH season.
I'll keep you updated as we have our RUSHES this week and next. :]
