tomorrow is the 3rd round/skit. sunday is preference. and i was just wondering from your experiences from both sides (rushee/member) if skit round was "okay" to tell a house that you absolutely want "their house."
and also, how to go about it. i don't want to be act all cliche and come off too strong and get cut. but after the first 2 rounds, i've just had the best conversations with these girls and i'm absolutely in love with the house.
from both sides, did you make a decision this early? and if you where one of the girls in the sorority, would you like having a rushee say this?
Just for clarification this is BURBERRY.

Don't say it point blank. It'll make the conversation awkward. A member can not promise you a bid because a) it's against the rules to do so and b) she won't have any way of knowing if you would get a bid or not anyway, which is part of the reason why it's against the rules.
You definitely want to show enthusiasm for Burberry, and you can tell them things that you like about the chapter. For example, "your sisterhood seems very strong" or "it seems like your chapter has a lot of fun but knows when to be serious too". Think about why you like Burberry and point out things that you like to members without coming off too strong.
Another good way to show enthusiasm is to ASK QUESTIONS! Ask about aspects of the chapter that interest you. Social? Ask how they plan their events, what kind of themes they've had, etc (but do not talk about alcohol!). Philanthropy? Ask how they raise money and/or contribute time. Sisterhood? Ask about sisterhood events, ask why a member chose Burberry. Another good thing to ask that should definitely interest you is the new member period. Ask about bid day, meetings, new member events, getting a big, etc. or ask the member what her fondest memory of her new member period was.
Where else are you going tomorrow? Have fun and good luck!
