Whatever joys and disappointments bid day brought, we kept going. Rush has a business side. Think of the records that have to be kept, reports written, invitations issued, bills paid and letters sent. After inheriting the membership chairman job when the former chairman got married, I learned the importance of a good filing system. That is not to imply that I practice good filing, just that thanks to her, I know what a good system is.
Rush teaches professionalism.
You not only deal with your chapter sisters, you meet and work with alumnae and other fraternity women, as well as future fraternity members. Rush also hones our meeting skills. There's no time for an inefficiently-run meeting. We cut the chatter and get to what's important. In school, church, business and neighborhood, I've served on and chaired countless committees.
