From my perspective, if this is an NPC, I'd be very creeped out by pretty much all but the GPA and the philanthropy. I guess creeped out isn't the right word...more skeptical. I think that it would come across like, "I am spouting off these facts to impress you so you will give me a bid."

Now, I obviously respect all that information a lot, and I'm not saying there is no reason to learn it for GLOs you aren't a part of, but I do not think rush is the appropriate time at all. For most collegiate girls I know, this information would rub them the wrong way entirely and make you seem desperate, stalkerish or like you are trying to impress us and give you a bid, not because you are genuinely interested.

I think, for example, saying something like "My studies are very important to me, and I noticed you had the highest GPA. What programs do you have in place to achieve this?" or "I really enjoy making hotels for abandoned walruses, and I notice that is your philanthropy. What do you do for it?" is a good idea. BUT I'd also caution you to make sure you are doing more than just asking questions...sometimes women in rush will ask so many questions that at the end of the party you know they are interested, but you know absolutely nothing about their personality. I think the right balance of questions and conversation about goofy things you have in common with your rusher usually works best. But definitely leave most of those facts for after you get your bid, as many women my age would interpret that as trying to trick or force your way into the chapter.
