Re: Rush

It's the most wonderful time of the year...Rush! As you enter into a week+ of skits, small talk and bid celebrations, here are some things to think about:

• Remember what it was like when you rushed? Could you be Greek and a Christian? Would anyone understand your faith? And remember how awesome it was when you met someone during rush that told you that you can be Greek and Christian? (ie. Jesse and Erik) Be that person. Don't be afraid to talk about how Greek IV has enhanced your Greek life experience. Don't be afraid to talk about how God has deepened your friendships within your Greek chapter. 
• Rush is caddy. It is superficial. It is shallow. But you don't have to be. Try to speak well of everyone. Look for the good in others. Don't be a jerk. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. God has placed you in your house at this time for a purpose. Don't be disenchanted. Don't disengage. Be an agent of change. 
• Rush is long and tedious. People can get on your nerves. You can be tempted to live myopically for two weeks. Enter into rush prayerfully. Spend time praying alone and with your brothers and sisters. "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3:17
• Finally, remember why we do what we do in Greek IV. If we don't keep our eye out for interested freshmen and sophomores, we can assume that Greek IV will fizzle out after our junior class graduates. This rush, promote Greek life and promote Greek IV.
