NPC policy on work week activities involving fraternities?

We practiced with another chapter too. It was a good way to practice groups and bumps and conversations (no houses so we were just in a room)

I always enjoyed being a "bad" rushee (as long as the practice rusher was having fun too) and asking things about alcohol and fake IDs

Hey...everyone is GOING to eventually get that rushee that really wants to know how much alcohol you drink and how many guys she's going to get to sleep with. Everyone needs practise fielding that stuff.

In April, once our spring class is initiated, we do a rush workshop specifically for all the new girls that joined that year who have obviously never participated on our side of recruitment.

The more experienced rushers get to play PNMs. I also enjoyed playing "PNM from hel". Alot of the new girls can't believe that people actually ask some of the things they do.

Yeah, plus the look on their faces when I asked... lol

Of course it wasn't just "So do you guys party?" it was "OMG, I was soooooo trashed last night. I think I'm still buzzed now... You guys will help hook me up with a fake right? Because it's getting sooo hard to get my Natty Light without it..."

If you were rushing and said that to me, I would've cut you for drinking Natty Light.

The beer of college students.

Who can't afford anything else.

And don't know better.

/And stupidly go to E. St. Louis and give other people money to buy them alcohol...

About two years after I graduated I had arrange for some of our alumnae to go to the chapter and help prepare the last 2 pledge classes for rush, since they were inexperienced. (NOTE- chapters should be all about events that kill two birds with one stone- you get both a rush workshop AND an alumnae event out of it!).

I asked those same questions, and all kinds of other stuff. They had NO clue how to answer, even though the VP Recruitment said they had been prepared. After we did a few mock rounds, everyone got together and discussed stuff and I think it really helped them understand how to react.

Yeah, most rushees aren't really trying to be crazy or whatever, their filter just slips. Usually you can tell if someone wants in a sorority only for alcohol access (there ARE cheaper ways of doing that though)

Dealing with someone who says something weird and bring the conversation back on track is the sign of a good rusher.

(on a side note, I will never understand the people who complain when their fake ID gets taken away. "But I worked for 8 hours on it" "Yeah well, illegal. Stop whining.)
