That's the appeal. Do you have a competitive bone in your body? Being able to do things that others can't is one of the most satisfying feelings in life.

But this is all made up. You're just waiting to be chosen. It's not like preparing to run a marathon and then feeling like you put in the hard work. Rushing is just about being picked.

Running a marathon on your mom and grandmother’s back no less. These girls really think they are special?

Yes, they do. At least in the South, sorority membership can lead to a lifetime of career opportunities. Opens a lot of doors at major companies.

Not to mention, marrying well.

There is nothing idiotic about it. If you're not encouraging your daughter to start looking for a husband in college, you're a fool.

I’ll save that thought for when she’s in grad school. Like I did.

Well, that's a good point. Assuming you're not in grad school post age 30.

Looks like we’ll be seeing your daughter posting in the Infertility Support and Discussion forum sometime down the road.

I live in the deep south and the vast majority of women are SAHM or have BS jobs. The only ones with decent careers are lawyers (uva law is big here) or doctors, so nothing to do with sororities.
But in general, they end up sah with 3 kids and are borderline alcoholic and into Stanley water bottles and decorating.

Many sorority women in the south choose the SAHM lifestyle (minus the alcoholic part, stop trolling) because the top-tier fraternity men they marry are such capable providers. They're the big shot lawyers, bankers, and investment advisors in their towns. They make enough money that their wives can stay home with the kids when they're young, which every study known to man has shown produces better outcomes, all other variables equal, than warehousing them in day care while both parents work. Once the kids get a little older, the wife has the luxury, once again thanks to her husband's ample income, to spend her mornings at the country club brunching with the ladies and playing golf or pickleball. On weekends in the summer, the family loads up the Bimmer or Cybertruck and heads to their beach house on 30A, which is basically just a huge networking party for top-tier SEC fraternity and sorority alumni. Who wouldn't want that lifestyle?

lol so they’re married to some regional vp at some crappy bank in mobile, al and vacationing on the redneck Rivera?

DP. That was 30 years ago.

Now they have a beach house on 30A just for weekends, and are vacationing on the Amalfi Coast or Antibes, followed by Beaver Creek or Steamboat for winter skiing.

We know someone that did this. They had friends before rush and then after rush and not getting a bid their friends were so consumed with rush that they didn't have much of a social life left.

Please let me know which companies so I can tell my daughter to avoid those.

She wouldn’t get a job there anyway. Move along

Yikes, this is exactly why my kid would never set foot on a campus with Greek life. If people secretly have these attitudes about those not in their exclusive circles, I can imagine what horrible people they are.

Her roommate had convinced her to rush and she did not like the fact that she was encouraged to disassociate herself some of her "geeky" friends. She is a geek at heart and felt closer to these individuals than her soon to be "sorority sisters". Never regretted it and will graduate in 2026.

Love this. Thanks for sharing.

The waiting to be chosen feeling is so universal in human experience that C. S. Lewis gave an entire lecture on it titled The Inner Ring, all about how people just want to feel part of the in-crowd.

For 90% of people a little introspection will show them that they too know an in crowd.

Yes!! A friend of mine had a daughter who went through the whole rush thing at Alabama and I remember what a project it was with all the clothes and makeup. Fast forward post graduation, she is working at some small ad agency on social media. Not very impressive. My kid (same age) attended a T20 with no Greek life and is working in a top consulting firm making six figures.

OMG, stop perpetuating this. It's simply not true no matter how badly you want it to be. Did you even go to one? Were you in a sorority? Name it or stop it.

It's true. Your ignorance doesn't make this false.

I think a good many of these people live in Bethesda.
