rushing process
by: rush
So a lot of freshmen don't really seem to know specifically what the rushing process is like to get a bid. Most only know that you make an impression and if they like you, you get a bid. But there seems to be so much more to it than that.
Here are some questions, and also feel free to add.
How long should I spend at zones? What are they like? What should I wear?
After zones, what happens? If I went to 10 zones and liked them equally, how do I decide which events to go to? And how can I truly know if I'll get a bid or if I'm wasting my time?
Go to zones, then rush events, then bid? What is rush actually like and will I hate it as it happens during the week?
How much should I contact brothers? Should I reach out to presidents of the fraternity (listed on IFC email slides somewhere) if I am really interested? And what if I can't make it to their zone, should I also contact them?
Again, feel free to add. Be as specific as possible please. I want every person rushing to not be confused and know what to expect.

Spend as much time as you feel appropriate at zones. If you dont like a house, just finish the house tour to be cordial, and go. If you like them and they dont ask you to chill, go. If you like them, and they ask you to stay... stay and meet some more guys for a while. Wear some clothes where you look somewhat "neat" but just be yourself. You will not go to 10 zones and like them equally, every fraternity has a different vibe. If you like fun, you wont hate rush. thats a fact. Dont reach out to presidents, but if you really like a fraternity, perhaps get a brothers snapchat or number. If you really like a fraternity but cant get to their zone, email or text their rush chair. Do some digging.Depending on which one you text, they may or may not text you back... because most places want kids that can commit to alot of their events to show they are serious. Moral of the story, use your judgement, dont be nervous, be yourself... and most importantly, DO NOT frat flex. Its obvious when rushes do, and the quickest way to not get a text back for the next event.

frat flex? my guess is being a poser so they would like you? Basically just be yourself?

frat flex is kinda like going out of your way to be "dope"... trying to brag too hard, trying too hard when talking to people. The biggest example of this is the kid that is handed a handle of vodka and instead of taking a shot like a normal person, chugs it for as long as they can so they seem cooler, and then is just a walking zombie for the rest of the night

This is also a question I've got. Should you go to the ones you prefer first so you have more time leeway there and can talk to brothers first, or should you go to them after a few others so that you're "warmed up" and not as nervous talking to a ton of people?

If you will feel nervous. Especially the first day. I recommend you warm up first. Hit up something I guess in 4-5 before you try top
