Didn't get a bid, planning on rushing again

[BlueArrow2049]

At our school rush is one week with bids going out Friday before or after the pref dinner. So rushing more then one fraternity is a bit of a juggle. (There's no dirty rushing either.)

Gusteau & pshsx1: in response to your comments, I guess I'll be more specific. On the last two days of recruitment, the brothers from the fraternities start asking really personal questions to their rushees like:

"What was the defining moment between you and your father?"
"How would you define integrity?"
"What do you hope to contribute to [fraternity]?"
"If your grandma and best friend were drowning, who would you save?"
"What's your greatest weakness?"
"Why do you want to join?"
(this one was the weirdest) "Would you rather go down on your mom or give your dad a blowjob?"

When i answered those questions, I guess I went on to much about my accomplishments and not enough about myself. And at the end they asked "do you have any questions for me?", I would ask "Do you think I'll be a good fit for the fraternity?" which apparently they didn't like, because it reflected that I wasn't confident in myself and it seem like I gave fake answers.

I felt that I was being myself, but the brothers said they didn't feel like actually got to know me. But if I rush other fraternities, I don't want to come off like that again.

So I guess what I'm looking for is advice on how to go about rushing. I understand that you have to be yourself, but I also would believe that there are Dos and Don'ts.

Thanks again everyone.

As funny as that question is, your immediate line after it makes it all that much funnier.

Guys, is this common? Seriously??

"Both. I'm a trained lifeguard and have actually performed water rescues, complete with mouth-to-mouth resusitation. Rest assured, if you're ever in trouble, I'll come to get you straightaway." Leer at your questioner. That should shut him up.

There is only one proper response to this question, and it is to turn quickly around, walk out the door, and never look back.

Answer: Tell you what, I'll do your mom and you can go suck off your dad. Then I'd drop that group, beat feet, and go check out the other fraternities on campus.

Or, you could just coldcock that sob and go up to the rush chairman or chapter president and say if you guys are into blowing your fathers and having incest with your mothers then I'm outta here. You would be asked what the hell you meant by that and when you related the question you would probably be seen as the star prospect, unless of course they really were into that sort of stuff.
