Texas Tech Rush. Help!

[SamanthaBay]

I knew my age was going to be a factor, I would just rather it not be made such a big deal in comparison to my resume and extra cirriculars. What I'm saying is I want to maximize my chances because I have the age factor working against me in a sense. Im going to be in a rush of over 800 18 year olds. Therefore Im asking for helpful ideas..

You don't get to have a say in that. As Lady Longhorn has pointed out and threads I posted for you earlier showed, you need RECS for EVERY sorority no matter what. You need to shine like the top of the Chrysler building just to overcome the age factor, and that means on top of recs to every chapter, because all the 18 year old rushees will have recs to every chapter. You've got to be above and beyond the average 18 year old rushee. Lady Longhorn is the expert for Texas recruitment and has been very helpful.

You have no choice in whether it's a big deal to a chapter or not. That's up to the sororities and their private membership selection criteria. Some only give bids to 18 year old freshmen. There's nothing you can do to change their minds, which is why I gave you a plethora of "helpful ideas" in my earlier post. But somehow I feel like your definition of "helpful ideas" is some OMG SUPER SECRET FOR SURE WAY TO MAKE ALL THE SORORITIES WANT YOU NO MATTER WHAT THEIR MEMBERSHIP SELECTION CRITERIA ARE BECAUSE YOU ARE A SUPER SPECIAL UNIQUE AND PERFECT SNOWFLAKE WHO EVERYONE SHOULD WANT.

It's simple:

-Have good grades
-Get recs to every chapter
-Look good
-Be personable and someone girls want to hang out with
-Have special interests, extra curriculars, be involved and enthusiastic
-Don't let a bad reputation precede you.

Those things will give you the best chance of find a chapter that you like who also likes you and is willing to look beyond your age and class standing.
