I imagine I'll be running into you Saturday.

Here's the reality about fraternity rush.

Interestingly, I have found many opinions on it by folks on this board to be a bit of a stretch. Especially posts from those living in the south.

Greeks can't be as selective as many claim simply because there are not that many "super cool" kids to go around. Every house has a few "birds". I was in a top tier house, at a top tier university with a top tier greek system. Ironically, some of the "birds" in my house turned out to be my best friends. This reality applies to every school in the country. South, North, East and West.

If you are a normal looking, non-obnoxious and outgoing kid who has been popular through Junior high and High school, you going to be sought after by most fraternities on most campus.

There is no science to this. It's pretty simple stuff....

Only a couple. I know Mitch from home, and met Chris the other night at Ken's. You guys did a smart thing having your party on Saturday night, because at least 4 -5 are having theirs Friday night.

Nope. My national is very large and was founded before 1850.

And by the way, Phi Gamma Delta was not in the top or middle tier at my university. They have since folded and are no longer on campus.....

Not what he was asking, FH isn't a fraternity. And there doesn't seem to be a lot of in between with Phi Gam, they are either great or awful it seems like.

Something tells me he knew that. There is no way the name came about coincidentally.
