tommy,
i totally agree with you. i completely envy the fraternities on my campus, because they're really straight up about things. no "i'll invite you to four days of rush but not give you a bid" kind of thing. i remember rushing and i wanted a certain sorority SO badly, but they dissed me on the third day. i dropped out of rush and ended up rushing and pledging SAI seperately. it was SO much better.
SAI's rush on my campus is awesome because since we don't go through panhell like the other sororities, we can kind of make things up as we go along. we don't have PX's, we don't "snap-bid", C.O.B, drop rushees or anything like that. we simply have three nights of rush, ask the girls to fill our pref cards on whether they would accept a bid from us if given one and meet after the last night.
we go to our advisor's house and order pizza, movies and whatnot. then we sit at the table and look over grades, academic honesty issues and pictures we took of the rushees, in case some don't remember names with faces. then we do a blind vote. this means we put our heads down and our advisor asks us to raise hands if we're for or against a rushee. majority wins. if it's a very close vote, we'll discuss reasons for voting the way we did and later vote again. i think it's an awesome way to vote. we call the girls the next night and let them know either way, then while the pledge mom and her helper talk to the girls, we go into thier dorms or apartments and decorate thier doors.
all in all, i'm very pleased with my rush process. very democratic and honest.
