Hey again,
I was able to talk to a few more brothers this week and the conversations have flowed naturally with minimal awkwardness. This house has turned out to be very selective. A large rush crowd has come out to the recent events (very large for what I imagined Spring rush to be). The other night I was brought into a brother's room and 'profiled' in which I had to write down leadership/volunteer work/aspirations/GPA/Basic Info and had my picture taken. I saw that there were a handful of other kids profiled as well, but they weren't taking just anyone up to get profiled. I had been at the house 3 times before this happened and had been talking to a brother for about 30 minutes before he asked if I had been profiled. The process to being awarded a bid here includes: attend rush event(s)->get profiled->pass brother vote->get bid.
I went to an event tonight and there were more rushees than normal and less brothers were present so I could only really get in one solid conversation, introduced myself to a brother already in a conversation, and met a few rushes before leaving.
The brothers I've talked to at this point are people I wish to align myself with. I have a friend who joined last semester and he said to check them out last semester. Also, one of the brothers on the recruitment committee is originally from my area and was telling me how he wanted to recruit more kids from our area.
At this point I'm not entirely sure where I stand. Do you guys think I'm headed in a good direction?
