rush tips

tips for girls going through rush:

- get off greekrank
the fact that you’re seeing this at all means you’re getting false images of each house. if you’re gonna come on here though you can’t take anything too seriously. everything comes from bias, self rank and competition. the happiest girls i’ve met are ones who went rushed with no expectations. #1 rule is get off gr.
- don’t choose for the parties
i’m just gonna say that if you came to purdue to party you came to the wrong school. sorry. the parties here aren’t on any crazy level. however, if that is something that’s important to you, stay within the top 1/2-2/3 of the houses. that’s just who i see out. you won’t have fun at parties if you don’t like the girls you’re going to them with so try to stay in that range.
- don’t look at instagrams
if you choose a house based off their instagram you’re gonna be SO let down. it doesn’t take a lot to make an instagram look good. anyone can do it. they pick and choose who and what makes their house look best, and you can figure out who does this. a lot of instagrams don’t represent houses well. plenty of weird houses have pretty instas. just wait until you get to each house to see the girls yourself.
- don’t pick the physical house
remember that you’re rushing for the girls, not for a pretty kitchen. it’s the girls who make up the house that make it great. nice houses lose charm quickly if you don’t like the girls living in it.
- pay attention at pref round
the most helpful tip i got was to look around at the girls who i was at the round with, as well as the girls in the house. even though many of the girls end up in other houses, it gives you a sense of the kind of girls the house is interested in and the kind of girls you could end up with.
- don’t just follow your friends
it’s to separate from friends but you need to see where YOU belong. if you and ur best friend end up in the same house, great. if you end up in different houses, even better. having friends in ur house is great but having friends in other houses is literally the best. make good relations!
- you’re living with these girls for four years
this is the most important part of rushing and why you do it. you have to figure out where you fit in. you get into functions regardless of what house you’re in but even then if you fit in with your house you’ll have more fun wherever you go. (honestly functioning is gonna be rough for EVERYONE for the next few years so choosing a house for the parties isn’t gonna work lol)
