[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be honest I was vaguely horrified when my DD told me she was going to give Rush a try. I stayed far away from that in college and assumed she would too just because of her general sensibilities. She is at a Northern/urban school and Greek life isn’t a particularly big deal but some people do seem to take rush very seriously. Anyway she ended up getting a bid at a sorority that she thought she had zero interest in but it’s one that’s working very hard to change its “exclusive” image and has actively become much more diverse in multiple ways in recent years. Her Rush experience was this past Jan/Feb and so was virtual due to covid surge at that time. For her that was a good thing, all the “rounds” were easier to manage than if she had had to run around to a lot of events. I think the reason it wasn’t especially stressful for her (or for me by extension) is she really approached it from the point of view of just being curious and didn’t really care about the outcome. I don’t imagine being in the sorority is going to be a central part of her identity, she’s just seeing it as a way to continue to build social and professional networks. But fortunately she hasn’t spent any money at all on outfits or any of that nonsense.[/quote]

If she is at a Northern school, even if it wasnt virtual, I imagine that she wouldnt have to get a whole new wardrobe for rush. I remember buying a new dress or two for the last few nights but otherwise I just wore what I already owned and it was fine. That said, Im not the kind of person to, for example, regularly do keratin treatments or use bronzer/highlighter as part of my makeup routine. So the houses that catered to women more interested in makeup and fashion were like that werent interested in me, nor me them, no matter whether I had a new outfit or not.[/quote]
