That's so funny- I searched for those exact words and found nothing. Oh well. Sorry!

Agreed. I know a LOT about Gamma Phi, and I have great love for my group but I am a HORRIBLE rusher.
The most important thing is being able to talk to anyone about anything.

A good rusher is someone who comes to the task with a desire to have fun.

I think I would disagree slightly with the importance of selling your sorority. Remember that you have 4 rounds (at most schools), and your style should change a bit each round. The first round, you are making a friend, nothing more, nothing less. Talk about what she did over the summer or movies or things to do on campus. I wouldn't even talk about your sorority in the first round unless she has questions. This is especially true later in the day, when she has heard the same stuff from a bunch of chapters before you.
Second and third rounds, you can begin talking more about things like philanthropies, socials, etc.
And pref, come in with the hard sell, but not about how great your chapter is, about how well she would fit there.
And most of all, let her do most of the talking.

I agree, and sometimes the girl who is a great rusher for first round is not so good later, when things are more personal, and vice versa.

AMEN! I could have rushed a brick wall and gotten it to attend round 2, 3, or prefs, but I just could never do the whole "serious" pref thing. I always ended up saying things to make PNMs laugh. I think the only person I could successfully pref would be my own sister, because she wouldn't mind me being a little goofy on a serious occasion.

*A good rusher can make PNMs feel comfortable in what can be a very nervewrecking experience.
*A good rusher asks open ended questions that keep the conversation flowing and avoids any question with a one word answer.
*A good rusher exudes confidence that draws PNMs in and makes them want to see more of her sorority.
