Rush "documentary" on YouTube
I found this fascinating to watch. Real people telling real stories from both sides of rush at Northwestern University
Rushed - A Northwestern Sorority Documentary (Pt 1 of 2)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8rrIYevONQ
Please ignore if this has already been shared. It's from February 2007.

Whoever that mariethesainted was that was talking about NPHC sororities in the comments...well, let's just say that it's not a good look.

So why point it out here? It's one person's opinion and we all know that people like to say whatever they want in the youtube comments (I don't even take them seriously), whether it's a good look or not. That person (whom we're not even familiar with) doesn't represent the NPHC and may not even really be a part of the NPHC.

My mistake. I thought this was a Greek discussion board where we discuss Greek issues, and that this thread was discussing the linked page speficially. Oops.

What the "Anonymous" recruitment chair failed to mention about their seemingly brutal system of determining who to invite back and who to cut is release figures. Certain chapters HAVE to cut more PNMs than others to help all groups make quota. "Popular" chapters have to figure out who they want and who will be cut in a shorter amount of time. I learned in psychology that it's human nature to like someone who is pretty; if there are two PNMs with equivalent mediocre personalities, and one pretty and the other not so much, you're more likely to like the pretty one. Combine release figures with a little psychology and it's no surprise that "pretty popular" chapters tend to stay that way.

I found it very intriguing. I agree that you can't give out all of your secrets, but there was a lot of truth to what Anon was saying.

Excellent point. There was also a study about more attractive people on job interviews having a better chance of getting the job even if their qualifications were exactly the same as another applicant who was less attractive. It's subconcious but definitely true and it works pretty much the same way in FR. It's basically an interview.
