<p>^Right, unfortunately I don’t have the financial means to do that right now…Hopefully I will get to visit but it’s possible I won’t.</p>
<p>Thanks brebeuff. I don’t hate partying, it’s just I would rather be doing other things 1-2 times a week, such as going to a concert or some other event or show in the city, then wandering around until 1 or 2, versus being in someone’s living room in Evanston. </p>
<p>“Like in the real world, looks do matter”
I just find this argument silly. The rushing process at frats/sororities is far more superficial than anything else in the real world…both when it comes to looks and assessments of your personality. Job interviews are based more on intelligence and demonstrated experience and reliability with a little bit of looks and sparkling personality thrown in whereas rushing is more about impressing people with your looks and sparkling personality with a little bit/no emphasis on the other things. Picking a partner is based more on long-term assessments of their personalities (in my experience) rather than a 30 minute crash course. </p>
<p>"honestly, would you rather think about Ozzy Osbourne or James Franco? "</p>
<p>Who’s James Franco? LOL.</p>
<p>From your description is sounds like perhaps I am more UChicago…but it would be interesting to hear more people’s opinions too.</p>
