spring rush

The same way as summer rush. First, the rush chair from a frat will contact you directly, usually via phone. They'll chat with you for a bit and then ask if you'd like to get lunch. Second, the rush chair(s) will travel to your town and grab lunch with you and talk a little more. Finally, they'll do one of 3 things:

1) They will offer you a bid card (they like you and you can sign it then and there or wait a while to sign it as you look into other frats)

2) They will offer to take you out to lunch again (they're still trying to figure you out; not necessarily a bad thing)

3) They will say, "Let's keep in touch." Bad sign that you're not a proper fit for their house
