the advantage of being a rushee vs being a brother
I can't speak for everyone, but personally, being a rushee trumps brotherhood status. When I was rushing the fraternity I later joined little over a year ago , the current brothers treated me great. Everyone wanted to shake my hand, hang out and get to know me. But once I started pledging and later as a brother, I noticed that not many brothers actually cared about each other in general. It's pretty sickening actually because this breeds contempt. Now that I am a brother and have to rush guys, I can barely bring myself to put on this facade at rush events that is required because I know once the rushees are initiated, they are going to experience much of the same dynamic I and the most recent members of the chapter have: apathy!
I'm sure this is not the case at most schools, as my chapter is an awful, nasty mess. But if it's not common, I still think it's a timely and important issue.
