Let's be careful with the "rush a local" advice. Locals still have selective membership, which often includes hesitation to initiate initiates of another organization. (without too much detail...my own sorority would probably not pledge/initiate a member of another sorority, however the situation hasn't presented itself in recent time).
This isn't a dig against anyone in this thread, honestly. I just don't want this girl to get the idea that locals will immediately accept her. I know that the advice was meant in the most constructive way, I just worry that it will get read as "rush a local/service, theyre
almost as good as an NPC/NIC". Just as a note that fraternal organizations, service, local, and national, all have selection and requirements, and are all equally awesome
