Texas Tech Rush. Help!

Theres a few who havent exactly been the definition of cordial, so I'll respond how I feel they have responded to me. I'm not angry, upset, or touchy. Look ladies, my point is I know the age is a factor. I am completely realistic in the fact that it might be a strike against me and I understand it. Maybe I worded things wrong but all I was asking for were for some helpful information on how to over come the age factor, thats all. You all have been through this process before, I have not. You cant penalize me for that. I dont have any expectations on how I things work like ladylonghorn quoted

" But somehow I feel like your definition of "helpful ideas" is some OMG SUPER SECRET FOR SURE WAY TO MAKE ALL THE SORORITIES WANT YOU NO MATTER WHAT THEIR MEMBERSHIP SELECTION CRITERIA ARE BECAUSE YOU ARE A SUPER SPECIAL UNIQUE AND PERFECT SNOWFLAKE WHO EVERYONE SHOULD WANT."

That to me is a little snippy and uncalled for which is why I have responded the way I did to these posts. Age to me is not a huge deal. I dont mind associating myself with younger girls because at the end of the day we are all rushing a sorority for the same reasons. I will only be 22. Granted that is a large difference but Im not rushing a sorority for the age group of girls. That is not important to me. So thank you Alumiyum for answering my questions. I have an open mind and I have no expectations.

You haven't been on this board long enough to know whether you are missing someone's tongue-in-cheekness. A smarter way to handle that (and to handle recruitment) is to look for the POINT being conveyed instead of being stuck on how it was conveyed and trying to win an imagined battle. These ladies are the sorority members. You are a hopeful--one of many hopefuls who is practically begging for someone to pay attention to you.

Alumiyum was being polite but what she said was essentially said before. You were given links to other threads and at the age of 22 you should know already that how you talk and look matters. DUH. You will have a difficult life if you wait around for people to kiss your forehead before you grasp the point and move on.
