*A good rusher can make PNMs feel comfortable in what can be a very nervewrecking experience.
*A good rusher asks open ended questions that keep the conversation flowing and avoids any question with a one word answer.
*A good rusher exudes confidence that draws PNMs in and makes them want to see more of her sorority.

A good rusher is able to focus on the needs of the PNM and the GLO, and not on her own personal issues (being tired, hungry, cranky, . . .).

When I went thru "rush" many years ago at the University of Kentucky, I always remember one girl who took me at the first party after a lunch break. She looked great, & she was super-friendly. Then she told me, laughing, that she had taken a nap and had woken up to hear her sisters singing. She woke up, ran down the stairs, and joined the rush line. I looked at her and said that she looked pretty good for someone who had just woken up. Then we both laughed. After I joined that house and she became one of my sisters, I remembered why she had impressed me: because she had been totally, utterly, herself. We always tell PM's to be themselves, but it's also important for a rusher to be herself, too. This way, the PM's get to see the true nature of a girl who may become her sorority sister. BARBINO

Try this thread, too
I think a good rusher is knowledgeable of her organization. She's a both a natural conversationalist and a good listener, good at making others feel at ease and comfortable in her presence, and is able to convey her enthusiasm for her organization in a very short period of time.

if you're not a person who's very comfortable making conversation with other people you don't know so well, i just read a book that, though a bit hokey and cheesy, did have some useful pointers. it's by a woman named leil lowndes and though a bit unrealistic at times, has some great tips in there that anyone can use - it's called how to have a conversation with anyone.
and take heart in the fact that your sisters see something in you that makes them think you'll be an asset to them during rush, even if you don't see it yourself
