Hi, since I haven't gone through rush from the other side, I'm probably not the best person to answer this question. But I have noticed things that girls have in common when they "do well" at rush. 1) Extroversion. Rush is a series of short and often shallow conversations. Some people are really good at getting them to a deeper level or being more engaging. The sorority member doesn't want to have to feel awkward or direct the whole conversation, so being naturally talkative and outgoing gets a lot of girls through to the next round. 2) Connections. You don't want to give a girl a bid and then once you get to know her, find out she's actually crazy. Knowing one or two people in a chapter isn't going to get you a bid because one member doesn't have that much say. But if you're friends with a lot of them, or friends with other girls they want in their chapter, they're more likely to give you a bid because they already know you outside the shallow rush process. 3) Looks. There's plenty of less attractive girls in Key 3 chapters, and gorgeous girls in lower or middle tiers, which is why I don't think this is number 1. But whether they admit it or not, they want their chapter to be considered attractive so that they can mix with frats they consider attractive. Being fashionable can make a huge difference- I've noticed that the pretty girls in lower-mid sororities are usually dressed more plainly. (Continued...)
