The Rush Book

[Madmaxis2011]

Let me first say that i am a Freshmen at college this year, and don't have much experience with the Fraternity system. I come form a large family so both my uncles father and grandfather were in the same fraternity at the same college which i now am attending. I went to thier party on opening weekend and had a lot of fun. I have become friends with some of the brothers, but the topic of me rushing has not been asked directly. Later today i was on there website looking at events when there was a power glitch that lead me to a password protected part. I dont know how but it sent me to this thing call the rush book. It talked about the ways brothers must act and how to get people to rush. It covered everything from how to dress when you seek out the rushes and what they might say, how to anwser questions and even how to dodge them. After reading i thought about the past weekend and how much fun i had, but also how every little thing i did was following this book, even the non-related topics we talked about, common interests and stuff, was all outlined in this book.

I dont know if i feel stupid that i fell for the tricks or that I that i really enjoyed my self. I guess the guestion that i'm asking is, should i disregard what i read and pretend that i don't know or would me knowing ruin my chances at joining?
