33 is right. But I also want to comment on informal rush. My school doesn't have a formal rush in the fall. They only have formal in the spring (first sememster freshmen aren't allowed to rush, only second sememster). In an informal rush setting, the answer is 'NO'. In an informal setting, girls come to a rush party (or information night as some people might call it). We meet the prospective members and decide from there. There aren't any rules like there are with formal rush. If we don't feel that a girl would benifit our sorority, we don't have to offer her a bid. I personally like informal rush better, not becuse we don't have to offer bids, but because it's more layed back and because we end up seeing only the girls that are interested in us, where as with formal rush the first couple nights you're kept guessing. Informal isn't stressful for the girls either. Also, with formal rush, both the sorority AND girls can get (excuse my languaged) screwed. For example:
It's the last night, and we want prospect 1, 2, and 3. So we put them down in our number 1, 2, and 3 spots. Well we are sorority D, and the girls put down their top 3 as A, B, and C. And sororities A, B, and C put them down as their number 1, 2, and 3. WELL. . . that means that we didn't get ANY of out top 3 picks so we end up offering bids to our number 4, 5, and 6 and in this case, 4, 5, and 6, wanted A, C, and D. That means not everyone is happy, which I think is counterproductive. Ok, If you can follow what I just wrote, you're doing better than me cause I almost don't make sense. Anyway, I like informal better.
