[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who never participated in Greek Life (my college did not have sororities/fraternities) I am curious how students choose which ones to rush or how it works in general.  Let's say a kid goes to school in the south and decides to rush for a fraternity, has no family who has ever done it and no idea which one is which, how does one select? Or do you rush and hope one selects you?  [/quote]

Guys just rush and hope someone you like picks you. Go to some events in the summer and meet some guys with similar interests if it’s really important to him. They have different personalities and some are “dry”, so he wants to get to know them too.

Girls get emotionally abused for 5 sleepless, gut-wrenching days in a row then “omg, love it!!” for a year then want nothing to do with the rush process again unless they like judging people and being in control. Fun stuff. The nice girls pay a fine to avoid it. An “adult” is in charge but she never matured past her junior year in college and DGAF about the emotional trauma the poorly designed process inflicts. [/quote]

Ooof.  Sounds like your experience wasn't good.  IMO you are the minority, not the majority.  Sorry that it still hurts.[/quote]

Gotta say I totally do not understand PPs post. What “adult” is in charge in a sorority?  And what fines are you paying?![/quote]

The “adult” is a woman maybe 25 years old who is employed by the university to organize recruitment.

There are lots of reasons to be fined but I was specifically referring to girls who are member of a sorority but don’t want to participate in rush/selection/bids etc.  The nice girls, fully aware of how emotionally traumatizing the week is EVEN if it ends well, pay a fine and stay home for the summer an extra week because they want no part of it.
