What are some good ways to be a standout rushee

Quick Tips:

1. Try to avoid using the word "Frat" unless you hear other brothers use it (It's a pet peeve for me anyway). Also try and avoid bragging about drinking or hooking up with girls. Neither of which are charming in really any situation.

2. Be yourself. Trying to be someone you're not does not work. Best case scenario, you don't get a bid because they can tell you're a phony. Worst case scenario, you get a bid from a Fraternity because they think they are getting one guy, and they end up with another.

3. Treat these guys like your brothers. You know how they say, "If you want to be a manager, act like a manager, one day, they'll give you a set of keys." the same is true for trying to be a Brother in a Fraternity.

4. Do your homework. The more seriously you take this decision, the more seriously they will take you. Look up some websites and ask around. Let them know you know a little about them. (DON'T be a stalker)

5. Take some time to connect with the other guys rushing. Although not your top priority, it helps you better identify what guys they are looking for.
