rushing as an introvert
by: helloHi. I know this is probably going to sound dumb, but I'm more of an introverted person and can be kind of shy. I'm going through recruitment this fall, and I'm worried about the conversations. I usually don't have a big problem talking to new people, but sometimes I get nervous and can't think of questions to ask or topics to bring up. I just don't want it to seem like I'm uninterested. Do any of you have any advice on topics to talk about or questions to ask, or do you have any tips for introverts going through rush in general? Thanks in advance :)

I’m in the same boat as you! I think the active you talk to leads the conversation, but don’t just give one word answers to questions they ask.
Treat it like a normal conversation rather than an interview. And your questions will probably come naturally if you do that. So if they ask you why you came to Auburn, you can ask them why they came. Or ask them what made them join a sorority. I think just focus on the active, smile, and be natural and we will be ok!

In an ideal world the sorority member leads the convo, but that is not always the case. You might have another introvert as your hostess, or a sophomore who is on the sorority side of rush for the first time and is mortified to be rushing someone , so BE PREPARED with a few interesting questions and topics of conversation. You may be holding up the conversation more than you think, but do it well and it will make you memorable in a good way. Come in unprepared and sit their like a knot on a log, and you will be memorable...just not in a good way.

also from what i’ve read it seems like the first conversation is usually the hardest but once you get the hang of it they become easier
