I like fraternities

Another stupid rush rule. Why should a guy have to go to any chapter, except the one(s) he chooses.

I think this rule, probably established and enforced by the dominant chapters, sux. Surely it is to the advantage of the large, rich, well-housed chapters (who probably run the IFC and make the rules) to make sure every prospect has to visit their large and beautiful houses/trophy rooms.

Actually it's the other way around. The chapter w/ the biggest house and the most members sure as hell doesn't need to make sure rushees visit them - they are probably the first chapter the rushees hear about and think of joining as soon as they hit campus. This rule is to make sure that they at least give the smaller chapters that they might not have heard of a look-see.

If I wanted to buy a TV set, am I forced by the TV-IFC to visit eight stores?

Similarly, I shouldn't be forced to visit eight chapter hoses before buying.

Once again we go back to guys vs. girls....girls DO visit 8 stores before buying a tv, comparing brand, price, service, etc. Guys just walk into the store and buy one. There are a lot of anal rush rules but I think the seeing every chapter once rule is a good one. Of course if I was a dude who had to go see 50 different fraternities I might beg to differ. Seeing as we only had 10 I have no idea how that works though.
