Ok. I've never seen this addressed in a thread...
What if a greek asks an aspirant if he/she is interested in their org (and he/she is, but has never expressed interest)? Should the aspirant lie?
What if the greek is a friend of the aspirant? Should the aspirant then be honest?
Will a greek even ask such a question?
Also, when is it appropriate for an aspirant to express interest to a greek he/she knows in that chapter? 1st semester (soph. year) seems too early and Rush seems too late....when (if) did you verbally express interest?
I hope my questions don't cross any boundaries. Forgive me if they do.
I was asked by two different organizations if I was interested both my freshman and sophomore years. Greeks will ask if they are interested in knowing for whatever reason.

What makes a greek go out and " recruit " someone as opposed to a person going out and trying to get their face familiar amongst those greeks...if that makes sense For example...I have friend at school who has told me that all ABC orgs have all came to him. Im just curious to know what stands out about a person that the org would come to them...I mean I know at FAMU if you are in SGA thats a big recruitment from Greeks cause they like to recruit student leaders, but other then that Im curious to know what they see in an aspirant that they would go out of their way to express interest in them. Im not sure if yall can answer that, but some type of response would be appreciated.
Like...I went to my high school's graduation this year and ya know me...had to floss a lil' bit. ;-) So I had on my Zeta hat and chain. So one of the graduates saw this and said(I'm basically quoting) "Oh you're a Zeta. I'm going to join that. I'm going to be online next year." In my head I'm screaming "Baby girl NOOO!!!!...Please be smarter when you get on your campus!!" But I grabbed up her email and I'll send her a brief message simply to say:Loose limps sink ships...if she's smart...she'll learn.
She ain't in school...I really don't expect her to know....but now when this freshman came up to me after we sponsored Chapel service and told me that she'd probably "pledge" Zeta b/c her mom is one my face went :???:
I don't believe I'm ...."intense" if you will about these matters. I don't like to "interview" folks. :lol: I just think that there is a proper way to do EVERYTHING and if you're serious a/b joining anyone's organization you might wanna learn those ways....and quickly.
