Okay
This will be my only update for the next week because I will be leaving for home tommorow and then be headed to UIFI session 2!
We are planning to give a bid card to a rushee next week when the rush chairs meet with him.
He's in the honors program for comp. sci and management, ACT score of 33, is valedictorian of his HS, state wrestler qualifier, baseball player, and friends with one of my pledge brothers. He was in town and at the house for a weekend during the semester and actually played in Tri-Delts Batters Up softball tournament for us, so he knows a bunch of guys already.
As for J and D.
J will be having lunch with one of our rush chairs today at 1pm, and I'll be working with him tonight so I may just have to give an update when I'm home to let everyone know what he's thought so far. Several of the sorority girls that work with us have told me that they are pushing him away from certain houses and know that he's pretty excited about Beta. I'm really glad that these girls are helping him out, telling him which houses he shouldn't be in. Makes it so I don't have to say as much about the other guys and can just focus on selling Beta.
I worked with D last night, and he told me that he had gotten his first call before he got into work. His rush app was just released to the houses yesterday so that's why. D's stepbrother was a member of my chapter before I got there, so he's kind of a legacy. He's super, super, super excited about Beta, and may be developing into a rush crush, so I'm trying to calm him down a little bit about the whole thing. He is worried about his grades and ACT score comparing to some of the other guys we're rushing. He's afraid we're not going to call him, but I think I allayed his fears a little by telling him that he can always show up and do some of the work on his side.
Since I have the time, I'll give a quick little profile at the types of guys who have meetings set up so far. These are the descriptions the rush chairs posted on our message boards (Obviously all identifying information removed for GC)

So these are the guys who have been called and had meetings set up from the first batch of applications. As you can see, some ridicuosly high quality guys. Just going through and reading all of the things these guys have done has me seriously impressed. Hopefully we sign some of these guys. I should make it a point though to say that we will still be meeting tons of kids throughout the summer. Guys will be coming through during New Student Enrollment, and there will be more apps trickling in each week. Plus these are only the guys who have meetings...some guys have been called but nothing set up. Also we can always count on some guys to just show up at our rush events.
Anyways, sorry for the length, and thanks for sticking through it if you made it this far.
