Actual rush advice I wish I knew
by: a friend
Hey friends! I came into the Greek system as a first generation greek and rush was v overwhelming so here’s what I wish I knew and what will help you and active members.
When you are walking in the house, make sure your name tag is visible. It helps make sure the girl who is supposed to talk to you gets to talk to you.
Door songs: yes they are real. Don’t freak out. There will likely be an intro/outtro song for each house at least rounds 1&2. As tempting as it is to start taking notes immediately after you leave the house so you remember, stay and watch them with your full attention. They literally are not relevant and don’t chose a house bc you like their song, but it’s considered rude to not watch the whole thing with all your attention, and I did not know that.
Bring water, oil blotting sheets and makeup to touch up, an umbrella, a snack, and shoes to walk between houses in your bag.
For philanthropy round, there are going to be houses that have you do activities that are related to their philanthropy. (Using the only example I can think of that isn’t the house I am in) AGD has you pack a meal for meals on wheels and write a note to go in it If I remember correctly. Yeah it’s a lil awkward trying to hold a convo and doing stuff, but the more normal you treat it, the better it goes. Have an idea of what you’d write before going into any house.
For round two, google each house’s philanthropy before entering and try to think of a way you personally can connect or empathize.
If you have questions, leave them below. No judgement. Myself and other active members can help. Please keep this a ranking free, Panhellenic-friendly zone.

Remember a lot of the girls rushing you will be from PC20 and did not go through a "normal" rush last year, so they have no idea what they are doing. PC19 has only seen "normal" rush from the PNM perspective. So you may see some confusion and disorganization because nobody has done it before.

Very very true. As a mc/pc 19 member, we are all so lost. And yes, I am saying that literally the night before round 1.
