I'm in the largest fraternity on my campus. I know that guy's and girl's rush is completely different... we don't even have quota. We just work our butts of and pride ourselves on having the highest number of bids accepted - we give out less bids than any other fraternity and have more accepted than any other fraternity. Concerning the questions about not knowing all of one's brothers or sisters: As the chapter grows, the pledge process has to change to make it easier to get to know everyone. Our pledges have to meet with X number of members a week and have X number of house hours a week. Pledge retreats and member retreats also promote brotherhood. We also have brotherhood events about every 2 weeks (ex.'s: movie night, just going out to eat, bon-fire in the back yard, etc.). The pledges are required to get to know all of the members. This is hard when you are pledging, but possible. After you are a member, you only have to get to know 30-40 new associate members a semester. It requires work and dedication, but so does anything worth having.
