Best rush advice

by: Rush   

Rush can be very overwhelming and i remember feeling conflicted on pref day but ultimately ended up choosing a house because I liked the girl I talked to on pref more in that house and knowing I'd be so happy to run home to her the next day. When looking back on it, yes she was an amazing girl and I was so happy but overall that house was not similar to me other than this one girl. The other house I prefed I know I would fit better in, but did not bond as well with the girl that prefed me. When you go through rush, yes it is important to make real connections with the girls, but don't let those connections let you judge the whole house, there are girls in every house that are similar to you, and you have to look past the one on one connections you make and look at the overall house as to where you best fit. Even though I love my house I regret that decision very much and know I would've been happier in the other house that overall is much more similar to me. Also they say go in with an open mind. I support this but also heavily disagree. It is important to not judge houses based on stereotypes, however they pair you in houses with girls that they know you are most similar to, not necessarily a representation as the chapter as a whole. This makes decisions more based on your connections with girls the purposefully know you'll get along with and not as much the overall house. I think it's important to know what each house is about and where you fit in best beforehand so you don't base it off one on one connections but the whole chapter.

Pay close attention to the other pnm's that you pref with. Those are the girls right there. That's your new member class. These are the ones you will be with over the next four years, be new together and do everything together, and bond with some of them for life. You will never be closer with members of a group than your new member class. The older girls will set the tone during rush, and one of them will be your big, but it really ends there. They bonded with their new member class and have close friends locked in already, so that group is not going to be your group. The other pnm's you go in with will make or break your sorority experience, not the active you met and loved during the week of rush.

I totally feel this! Going into rush I kinda felt like I pretty much knew which houses would be the best fits for me. Then one philanthropy conversation with an amazingly paired girl in a house that was off my radar changed all that for me. I was torn, but ended up deciding not to pref this house in the end (I put them 3rd) and instead stuck with 2 of the other houses I knew would be better fits in the long run. My rush was also in 2020 so I didn’t get to see who else was in my parties, but I know now I did the right thing. If you connect with a girl in rush, you guys can always be friends and hang out afterwords even if you’re not in the same house, but yeah I would encourage you to not base your entire decision on one active/convo/etc.
