I'm curious what GLO are you in?

The main reasons I want to rush is the relationships you build with the brothers, the networking you partake in general on campus, and the potential connections for the future. Since I am a business major, I believe it is extremely important to be involved in Greek life.

And yes the brothers of the fraternities I mention, as well as others, have asked me to rush every semester since I have been here. Most of the hearing and seeing has occurred first hand or from the brothers I know.

Thank you for the last part, I agree it would be best for me to remain anonymous for obvious reasons. However, I'm very private about my intentions so I would be surprised if anyone would be able to figure out who I am. I do see what you are saying, and I will be more careful.
Why didn't you rush two years ago? Or last year? Remember, just because you are interested in THEM, doesn't mean that they will give you a bid. Or initiate you. In some cases, bid =/= initiation.

His tone makes it seem like they are interested in him and would give him a bid lol.

I may be very wrong here but it seems like you know people these organizations and they want you to join? You're not just picking 3 UCF frats you like

Note: I'm fine with calling other fraternities frats because they are not Lambda Chi, so before anyone calls me a hypocrite haha

I would normally get mad, but you're a 9, so I'll let it slide.

Just this once, though.

Darn! I was hoping it would move since Survivor is on Wednesday again. Oh well, it was nice last season only keeping up with one show.
