It is in many ways like a long job interview. That's the analogy I use when someone asks me to describe formal Rush Week. You've sent in your trascripts and lists of activities similar to a resume. There's a background check. If you lie on your Rush application about your gpa, it gets discovered after you receive a bid you can't begin pledging when the basic gpa requirement is not met. If you lie on your resume, you don't get the interview.
or get fired if discovered after the fact.
Reccommendations from alumnae work in the same way as letters of reference from previous employers. Favorable responses work in your favor as unfavorable responses do not.
In both cases you and employer/sorority chapter try to put your best feet forward by looking your best.
Questions and answers given during the time you get to know them as they you can make a difference whether or not you either get a bid or drop altogether. If the job interview is not going well or you don't think it's a fit, you either don't follow up with the job or just walk out on the interview completely.
