Yet another rush story!
 

Hey all! This isn't my story, but my boyfriend is going to his first rush function tonight! He's very excited. I won't reveal what house until the end (just in case he doesn't get in, but of course I have my fingers crossed), but the men from this house were extremely nice to him the other day when he got to meet a handful of them. A lot of our school's fraternities had tables set up to recruit people, and he already had an idea that he wanted to rush this house, but they came right over to him before he even had to go to their table. They're a great group of guys and I really hope he enjoys the party tonight. I'll let you all know how it goes, if you're interested! :)

Tell him Good Luck and keep on posting to let us know what is going on... :)

That is a LOT to choose from! He has been to one rush party so far at a yet-to-be-revealed house, and he may attend parties at one other house. The party tonight included a cookout and a house tour. He said that most of the guys he talked to were really great, but he was a little bit worried because he said that a couple of the seniors weren't quite as friendly. I explained to him that this is pretty normal, after all, it's their house and they've been in it for quite a while now, it's got to be weird to think of a bunch of new people getting involved in it. Also, their pledge period is really long, but I think that might be a good thing, it shows how seriously they take it...after all, these guys are going to be their brothers. He also said that one of the guys he talked to told him that their house does not haze, which was a relief to hear after a different house got in trouble for that last year. Overall, I think he had a good time tonight, and the next party for that house is on Thursday. I'll keep you posted!

GOODNESS!!! that would soo be way too many for me to choose from lol! anyways I wish him the best of luck and keep us posted!

nichole

I want to know all the details about what he wears for rush...:D
Like kitten heels etc;) hehe


No seriously, I can't wait to read this --a frat rush thread should be eye-opening -- esp with soooo many frats to choose from...my gosh!


P.S. I hear Gamma Phi is GREAT there at Purdue! When do y'all have rush?

What the heck is farmhouse and Accacia?
Wow that is too many houses to choose from!

My cousin is a Phi Kappa Tau at Purdue!! (Actually his older brother is now an alum.) From what I've heard they are a bunch of good guys. :) I also have friends in Theta Chi and Delta Theta Sigma! Please keep us updated! :D

I also wanted to mention that you were right about the senior thing. My cousin was a 5th year senior, and I know that he felt a big age distance from the new members who were joining. Tell your bf that he has nothing to worry about, and wish him the best of luck!

Erin

Thanks for all the encouragement! And to the one who asked, at my house we do deferred recruitment in January.

Wow, a different spin to rush threads. :) Keep us posted! Best of luck to your boyfriend!!

I often wondered how men do there rush. So you dont have to go to all the houses like with NPC? Fill me in on how men's rush works..

FarmHouse and Acacia are NIC fraternities just like the other ones are. FH has an ag slant.
