Ok, first, I don't really buy the "power glitch" story that "happened" to somehow flip you into the password protected part of their website, and second, I can guarantee if the brothers ever found out what you'd done you'd never set foot in their house again.

Some fraternities have "rush books" that serve as a common sense guide for the members (brothers) as to what they should to be doing when they rush (interview) rushees. I recall one fraternity had a rush guide published on their national website.

As to how you should regard this, first I would not bring up the password protected site/rush book at all. But more important, I would suggest that you be yourself. If you attempt to answer the way you *think* they might want, then you may come across as fake. And being fake can damage your chance at receiving a bid. Or worse yet, you could receive a bid and come to find out that you have little in common with the chapter and have a lousy time. All because you tried to be someone you were not.

Also, you mentioned that the topic of your rushing has not been asked directly. If you are interested in this chapter, I would suggest you let them know that you are interested. Especially since you are a legacy to chapter. Some chapters only look for men that express (show) an interest in the chapter. While you may not be indifferent, if you come across as such, then the brothers might not feel you are interested. And not extend you a bid.

Also, if you are comfortable doing so, you might want to discuss this with your family members. And while you are at it, you could even mention to them about the "rush book".

Best of luck.

I'm dumb as a post when it comes to this stuff, and I've accidentally happened onto more than one private side of national websites. Sometimes people just don't write their code properly.
