Rush - What to NOT do or say

[WVU alpha phi]

I'm not sure if this has been said already.. just kinda skimmed the thread so sorry if this is a repeat!

To all PNMs, from my experience, do NOT listen to what other PNMs are telling you about the houses. Every night at the end of rush, I'd end up going back to the dorms with a group of other PNMs, and every night I'd hear the same thing: "Oh they told me tonight not to worry, I already have a bid." or "The girl that rushed me told me I'm pretty much in already." I used to be worried sick because I was never told any of that, and then I'd be convinced I wasn't going to get into my first choice. Well, come bid day, I received a bid for Alpha Phi (which was my top house) and quite a few of those girls that had been talking about their "guarenteed" spots at various houses didn't get bids there. So my point is, so much you hear during rush is just hear-say, and it's no point getting worked up over like I did.
