successful recruitment

Where/how do you get one?

Most girls do just fine without a rush consultant.
1) Be personable to everyone you meet. It will be hot and stressful so this takes effort but it will pay off.
2) Be put together. Choose clothes that follow the guidelines that but have a touch of class, style and individuality. Choose a hairstyle that can stay put together in 100 plus heat for hours.
3) Expect that each house you enter could be your new home-every house... and treat the members as such.
4) You must do your part to keep the conversation going so even if you are shy-talk! It's a fake environment with girls singing at you, tons of girls all in a room and trying to talk to strangers but you can do it.
5) Kind an open mind when your invitations come each night. You won't get all the houses you want on it! You will get some you think you don't want but the houses knkw what their members are like so trust the process.
6) You can bring a tote bag which you leave outside. Fill it with: flip flops to walk in between houses, a hand held fan, touch up make up, breath mints, brush, hand held mirror, water bottle & anything else to make it through the marathon days.
Welcome to TCU!!!!!

The message from "Rosey" has lots of good tips. Good luck everyone.

Literally sounds like a beauty pageant. I bit sick don't you think?

This is a dumb suggestion and waste of money. Our school isn't the kind of school where you need a rush consultant. Go back to Alabama or whatever backwoods southern school you know about.

preach!! yes!!

I don't want to hear about your mission trips to "third world countries." You may think you are the Great White Hope and they are all waiting for you to save them from themselves. But you end up sounding like an idiot. Don't talk about Mission Trips to Central America or Africa. You sound like an ass.

I hope you are a troll because you sound so unhappy. Who has time to push 76 thumbs up? Why sad indeed.

I don't know or care if she is happy. I do know that if you come in to rush talking about your Mission trip, most of my house will nix you . It is actually good advice. If your ego is so big that you need to take a mission trip , then don't talk about it during rush. I'd honestly rather you talk about partying.

Yes! This!

Mission Trips are oh so 2011.

To the person who took the time to down vote the above comment 84 times (I'm sure you will do it more ), if you are telling women to talk about Mission Trips, you are giving BAD advice.

Every year this nasty girl who has something against mission trips comes on here to complain about them. She's strangely obsessed and kind of sick. PNM's be yourself and talk about your interests and what you've done/ Don't listen to this one sad girl that probably isn't even in a sorority.

To the girl above this message, You might be the 15% of people here who think it is cool to talk about during rush. But I can assure you that most girls in most houses on the rush floor are very turned off by mission trip stories to third world countries. Of course we aren't going to say anything, but most of us won't like it. Mission trips have a condescending, "I'm here to save the world" arrogant vibe about them. They turn a lot of people off. Do they bother everyone? No. There will be a few people that are impresses, and a few that don't care. But more than likely , you will come across someone who doesn't like it. That's a fact.

I had a perfect rush.

And if you get cut from your mom's house, please tell her not to call us and start screaming over the phone demanding a bid just because she donated $$$$. That will just embarrass you and your mom will look like she's unhinged.

Good for you, "I did"! Girls do have perfect rushes every year, but it seems more often than not, girls are shocked when they don't have a full party list each day. I was a Rho Gamma last year and some of my girls would literally have invites to top houses and yet still be upset that the houses they didn't like didn't invite them back. I had one girl in my group with a perfect rush- ONE. Just trying to set expectations.

Your third recommendation really makes me feel like the is going to be high school part 2. I thought we go to college for a change. Not to be locked into our high school roles.

Sorry, but you already are mostly who you are by the time you get to college. If you try to act completely different then you will come off as fake. A lot of people come to school thinking it will be totally different. In some ways it is, but in a lot of ways you end up gravitating towards the same kind of people and activities you always have.

TCU is ore clickey and less diverse than my high school was. I would not go here again. By the end of the third month you know everyone and everybody is cemented into their social status. Worse than high school.
