Ok. We know you want to tell us about your Rush experience. We know you want to ask for advice, encouragement and feedback.
Thats terrific. There are a lot of people on here that will hang on your every word and be very supportive.
However, you don't know who might be reading your story! And you don't know what effect that might have on your RUSH.
For your own piece of mind assume girls from every single house you are Rushing are reading your posts.
There are people that have gotten CUT from Rush because of what was posted here. You do not need people forming negative opinions about you from a chat site. Rush is grueling enough.
That being said here are some tips.
1. Don't tell us what school you are Rushing at. You can tell us later. That can mess you up.
2. Don't tell us which sororities are at your school or that you will be visiting. People can actually figure out your school by the names of the groups on campus. If you want names, make up "pet" names for them. Like Red, Alpha, One, etc.
3. Don't tell us the number of sororities on campus. Make up a number. Again, with the number of groups and some casual description some of the readers can research and find out which campus you are at. I know it sounds like they are obsessive and have too much time on their hands . .. but there you go.
4. Don't tell us the exact skit that you saw until after Rush. Again, people have too much time on their hands and can figure stuff out.
5. Don't tell us in which order you made out your bid card . . . EVER! Although common sense would say that not naming the groups should cover that.
6. Don't ever tell us you didn't get your first choice if you are going to Pledge a different group. Why let that get back to the girls and possibly effect you?
7. Do not respond to any PM's and Emails asking you any of the above. Or IM's. Assume you have NO friends until Rush is over. Its a week. Surely you can keep secrets that long? Assume that anyone you tell will tell others and it will get back to the girls that are Rushing you. If I hear stuff as a Fraternity Male, you know stuff really gets around.
Keep in mind that there are over 30 thousand registered users on this site! And God knows how many lurkers. Thats a lot of chances that someone might be in a position to mess up your Rush.
Anything I left out?
Oh and good luck.
