Whos rushing Fall 2004?? I am!

[SiKeS]

I realize that most of the folks on here are girls and won't be rushing Fall until around the summertime...

But how many of you out there plan on rushing this Fall?

Have any of you already started? If so, how is it going? What do you think so far?

What do you expect your rush experience to be like?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I started rushing for Fall 2004 very early... I'd say around the end of Summer right before Fall 2003 and my senior year...
I'm still currently rushing and have already checked out maybe 7-8 different fraternities...

Doing this, I've come to the realization that rush is very stressful (even for us doing the informal thing) and requires a lot of tough decisions.

I've found that many of the fraternities I've checked out are stronger than the others, but in their own unique ways... I've gotten the opportunity to hang out with many many great guys and learn a ton about individual fraternities and greek life as a whole.

I must say its been a tough decision, but I think I've finally found a fraternity that possesses many of the strong points that the others had... Its a strong house on campus, very involved on campus, has good values which appeal to me, is big but not too big, and is a place I feel very comfortable in... I already know a couple of the brothers from high school, so this was also a major influence...

Getting to the point ---> I've got a good feeling about this house and hope to be signing very soon

I'd also like to point out that even if you've got a house in mind... It is ALWAYS best to go and check out as many others as you can... You'll always realize things others have that maybe yours doesn't.. Or vise versa... End result is that you may actually find a place you like EVEN BETTER or at the least you'll learn to appreciate the house you're thinking about joining even more... By taking a look at the others that you're passing up ...

From my rush experience I've realized that theres always more to be learned...

Anway, thats my little spiel..

Thanks! Wish me luck!!
