Rushing a second time?

"Doing your research" really isn't viable in an NPC situation. Yes, you can find out that maybe this group supports Alzheimer's research and you feel a tie to that because your grandma had Alzheimer's....that's nice, but it has SO little to do with how women are chosen in NPC rush.

Unless your "research" consisted of g---k r--k and other sites like that, where you read that this group was the most popular and that was not.

In fact, the other day, a sister posted on my FB wall, "Hey, first gal who rushed me at ADPi..." It's been YEARS since that recruitment, and even at that time I had no recollection.

This isn't that.

At small campi with small chapters, some women would not fit at all in some chapters, some women would fit in every chapter, and some women would not fit at all in ANY chapter. You CAN'T always find something in common with someone in smaller groups - at least not enough that you can go beyond thinking of them as friends and start thinking of them as sisters.

So yes, at these chapters, the sororities usually do know where the rushees will fit in - unless the rushee is being completely fake.
