<p>I am going to be a sophomore at UT next year (transferring) and want to rush. I don't know anyone at UT that does the "fraternity" thing but I talked to a rush leader and they got me on the list at Fiji. Would it be weird if I went by myself? Should I bring my girlfriend? </p>
<p>I wouldn’t bring your girlfriend unless you don’t mind her getting hit on the whole time.</p>
<p>It wouldn’t be too bad to go alone if you’re on the rush list already, they will let you in, and it’s better because that way you talk to actives and not the guys you went with.</p>
<p>Fiji is a great fraternity–probably the best on campus, but there is definitely a certain sort of guy they’re looking for and if you aren’t it you’ll realize it pretty fast.</p>
<p>If they put you on the rush list and they start calling you to let them know about upcoming things, then they are interested. If they don’t, then they’re not.</p>
<p>Great link MidwestMom - a couple of the “Stories of the Day” were pretty entertaining - SAE pledges caught stealing alligator? That I’d love to see.</p>
<p>ATX, you cannot become the “certain type” of guy, you either are, or you’re not. </p>
<p>The fraternities are different, with different types of guys. If you are a good guy who is fun to hang around with, who doesn’t act like an idiot at parties, who is decent looking (as in not like a freak), chances are, you’ll find a place.</p>
<p>Be yourself. If you try to put on some type of “frat guy” persona, they are going to see through you, and you won’t get a bid. If, somehow, they don’t, but figure out you aren’t who you pretended to be, you are not going to have a good experience at all.</p>
<p>i understand that. im not tryint ot put on a persona. but you said that fiji guys are looking for a “certain type”. I was just wondering what that type is b/c if i do not fall into that type i dont even want to try</p>
