Truth on Real Rush Advice

Poster Message:
I agree with a lot of advice on here. My little sister is planning to rush next year...her friends have questions. She's lucky in that she is my little sister BUT I told her to wow them at her top 4 choices. Anything can happen at rush and she may choose to go a different sorority or choose mine. She will be friends with girls in her pledge class. Agree, top houses you'll need at least 3.0 gpa. Step 1!!! 2.75 it narrows down, 2.5 narrows down more. Step 2 - be in it to win it. Look as pretty or HOT as you can look for every round, try to connect in all conversations, want it!!! 3) If 1 girl doesn't like you, your out in a house. Sometimes that's a bummer because 1 girl can ruin you getting in. Why like 3 to 4 houses. When you rushee girls go home, we girls spend hours discussing who we like. Its longer for the girls hosting rush. Hours!!! The easiest picks are the top picks. Sometimes a less pretty girl will need someone to talk her up. A best friend or sister in a sorority can get dicey. It's more sensitive for a sister. A best friend... one girl rushed as a sophomore and her best friend spent a year talking this girl up, bringing her to the house, not begged but begged and she wasnt a traditional "our house pick" BUT her bestie was relentless. We picked her. She was fine. Not a typical but we went with it. Now another girl tried to do the same with her best friend and NO WAY. She was cut!!! Another girl had many friends in the house and 1 girl secretly told the rush committee a story about this girl so she was cut. Was it right? This stuff happens and we loved who was cut. Girls get petty...if you were mean to a girl years ago, hit on her boyfriend, secret talks to the rush committee and a girl is cut no discussion. This has happened a few times since I was in the house. This happened to a girl I loved, I called a good friend in each of the other top two houses and told my friends to pick this girl! You'll have to sometimes have an advocate who talks you up in her own house or a competitor. Why it's good 4 or 5 houses in each tier. Sometimes you'll be cut from a good house and you wont understand why, dont let it knock your confidence. Focus on the houses that like you. Always work it!!! I do think a bid from a top house, is competitive. You'll see how many girls go through rush and the tears on cut lists. Always look your best, engage in conversation, be fun. Make sure its something you can afford to do and want to do. Because its sad when a girl rushes and quits a semester or a year in. She took a bid from a girl who wanted to do it for the full 4 years. Then sorority houses have to do small rushes of 5 girls to 8 girls to pay for the spots. Those small rushes are even more competitive, tears from the girls you personally brought in and the other girls said NO. The houses are expensive to maintain. The top houses are the biggest and most expensive dues. All things to keep in mind when rushing.
