So dirty rushing can be a lot of different things, but it basically is when chapters rush either based on morally wrong reasons, or break the Panhellenic recruitment rules. Chapter members are not allowed to reach out to pnms that they don’t know after may, but there are some chapters who have been known to contact pnm’s they don’t know during the summer and invite them to coffee or brunches to basically get to know them and get the pnm interested in them. This can also include oral bidding by implying that they will make sure that they give you a bid before bid day. This is a BIG no no so if any chapter tries to do this to you, report it because they will be fined and CPC will investigate. Other forms of dirty rushing are things like zip coding, where they single out girls from nicer areas like the woodlands for example and recruit based on where you live. I’ve heard of girls also asking what your parents do for a living and keeping tabs on social media about whether or not you look like you travel because they might try to determine if you seem rich or not. There is also dirty rushing based on other standards, like major or high school grades (some chapters are said to take more girls with easier majors to keep their GPA’s higher) or what kinds of things you did in high school like sports or dance team. At A&M, CPC tries to enforce value-based recruitment where chapters make no prior judgements based on these standards, but from what I have heard, these things still happen. However, please know that while I know for a fact that my own house does not rush based on any of these standards, my knowledge of these kinds of dirty rushing is based off of what I have heard on multiple accounts from other people but as I am not in other chapters I cannot absolutely guarantee that they are 100% true and what chapters do or do not rush like this. All in all, I hope as PNM’s you keep in mind that while reading this may really scare you and make you feel the need to appear “more desirable” or change up your social media like I thought I needed to do, it’s not worth it in the end to end up in a house who only wants the version of you that you had to fake to seem desirable to them. Chapters can tell the difference between you being fake vs being genuine, but it is also so much more important to find the house where you can be yourself so that you can love your sisterhood. Try and focus more on values based recruitment as CPC tries to enforce to end up in a house where you can be yourself and not have to try to be someone else.
