Ole Miss Rushee Passes Out Résumés To Fraternities To Land Bids, Is The Most Sought After Recruit In The Country
Imagine if companies interviewed anyone who applied for an open position. It would be a colossal waste of time, money, and resources. Well, during formal rush week, that’s exactly what recruitment turns into. Any dingleberry can walk into the house or tent and occupy a member’s attention that could otherwise be better spent. It could be five minutes or five seconds of conversation, it doesn’t matter, and as soon as they step foot onto our property, they’re hindering the expansion of our organizations. It’s always these misfits who do the most damage on the catered food, too. They slip by, unnoticed, and knock out half of a Chick-fil-A nugget plate before getting shown the door. Savages, all of them.
That’s why I have no problem with this rushee slinging résumés during his initial interaction with the fraternities at Ole Miss. In fact, I motion that we make this a prerequisite for when kids register with IFC. That way, exec board and the chapter’s recruitment chair can act as an HR department, sort through the mostly steaming pile of shit, and only invite potentials who aren’t complete goobs to events.
This kid was simply being considerate of others, passing his credentials and moving on rather than trying to bullshit about how faded he used to get back in high school. The fact that this fire list of accomplishments below results in zero bids is a modern day tragedy.
Certified pilot? Check. Outdoorsy? Yup. Business savvy? You know it. Seems like a can’t miss, blue-chip prospect with impressive Greek pedigree. Not one damn bid?
I will say, though, the paper itself looks like a flier some toddler posts to streetlights around the neighborhood when their three-legged cat suddenly goes missing and their parents don’t have the heart to tell little Johnny that they ran Mittens over backing out of the driveway on the way to work. Computer paper just isn’t cutting it. Got to go with something a bit heavier to let everyone know you’re not fucking around.
Actually, I say ditch the 8.5 x 11 altogether. What will really separate you from the crowd is your own trading cards. Picture of you with a confident, but not overly excited smile on the front and frat accomplishments on the back. Topps is the only option. I will rip your face in half if you hand me an Upper Deck manufactured product. Go with this strategy next year and there won’t be a single house on campus that isn’t an option..

I prefer Devry guy and Boosh’s satirical writing to yours.
10 years ago at 12:45 pmHe didn’t get a bid because this isn’t a dorm. If you expect to get “matched” with people based on similar interests you fill out a survey and go to a dorm. If you seek individuals who are confident enough to meet new people and create brotherhood through social interactions, you join a fraternity.

10 years ago at 5:02 pmMakes sense.
10 years ago at 2:45 pmThat looks like a picture of SteveHolt.
10 years ago at 12:54 pmThat’s implying that someone with Steve Holts writing ability could get into college
10 years ago at 1:56 pmDid he include a cover letter and refs? What a tool.
10 years ago at 12:56 pmThe guy doesn’t know better or maybe just messed up big time. In either case, public shamming seems cruel and dishonorable.
10 years ago at 12:56 pmYou PC bro?
10 years ago at 1:11 pmI’m pretty sure you were joking about this being a pre-requisite, but as a former recruitment chair, I fully endorse this. It would have been better if his resume didn’t look like an amber report poster taped to a telephone pole, but I like the idea. At least you get a picture and some facts about the kid.
10 years ago at 12:57 pmI completely agree. We used to have a laptop set up at our tent or room or whatever where kids would put their contact info into an online submission form. I like the idea of at least having the option to attach a resume if applicable. You’d need your IFC to tell kids to bring a flash drive or a copy with them, but it would not only benefit your chapter but it would teach some of them how to format a resume or at least find someone who caneeds help them format it, a skill they will need later on down the road, Greek or not.
10 years ago at 1:20 pmGreat post, all those who gave you a lap probably never received a bid and are trying to live vicariously through real fraternity men thing TFM is where to do it. I agree wholeheartedly.
10 years ago at 2:49 pmI don’t think that people who didn’t receive a bid are trying to live through TFM, but you’re trying your hardest.
10 years ago at 2:54 pmIt’s called sarcasm, look it up.
10 years ago at 3:05 pmi don’t think “i agree wholeheartedly” is sarcasm. But i don’t have a dictionary on me so you must be right. (correct use of sarcasm)
10 years ago at 3:25 pmThe whole post was not sarcasm. Since you do not know how to use a dictionary I have provided an urban doctionary definition for you. Good luck graduating.

10 years ago at 3:19 pmYeah, I did.
10 years ago at 9:14 pmMcCoy had a 5 to 5. Don’t disrespect a legend like that again.
10 years ago at 2:15 pmGo wash your lips….
10 years ago at 3:19 pmNot an awful idea in theory. Coulda used a little more comedy and a little less “lost cat” poster vibe though.
