Rush definitely brings everyone together! Like ZTAngel said, you're stuck in a house for a week with the same girls! I think my house is one of the first to come back early before rush. This is because we allow time to goof off and have fun! Everyday we have a theme (like who can wear the most Pi Phi clothing and who can dress up the craziest) to help liven the mood. Along with this and rotation exercises help all the girls to get to know each other better. I got to know some girls in my house that before I really hadn't talked to.
Back on topic though...My big sister told me that on her Pref Night she fell down our staircase. Luckily she brushed it off and laughed about it, and she got a bid! The funny thing is, I did the same thing on MY pref night at my house! My formal dress I wore was too long, and I ended up stepping on my dress on the way upstairs. Thankfully I caught myself before I hit face first! LOL Trust me, when when it was my turn to rush I made sure to firmly hold onto the handrail when going up and down the stairs during rush.
I've only rushed one time, but I had a doozy of a girl on Pref Night. I was paired with a girl who I vaguely knew through campus activities. I was excited to have her on such an important night, but it was a disaster! During practices my rush director always said NEVER to talk about boys, alcohol, and parties. Guess what we talked about during Pref Night? Boys, alcohol, and parties! I tried everything in my power to steer away from the bad topics but with no luck. The worst part was where we went into our dining room to eat cheesecake and sparking juice. She took one look at the juice and asked if we were serving alcohol!
Needless to say she didn't get a bid from us!
