When a girl signs up for Rush, she goes in with the hopes of being accepted into a house and making friends for a lifetime.

However, before she becomes a sister, she has to start off as a total stranger. The process of Rush is a judgmental one, to

the point where it may try to discourage girl from joining at all. Rush is based around words like materialism, connections, and

appearance oriented. I’ve heard of Rush weekends at different schools where girls have had their parents donate $15000 to

the sorority they wanted to join prior to Rushing. I Rushed a few weekends ago, and I can personally say that there were points

where I was asking myself if this entire process was really worth it. Knowing that I was being judged and not knowing on what

made me feel very insecure and wonder if a sorority was the right place for me. I stuck it out, and now I’m happy being part of

a sorority. However, there is a large variety of people with very differing opinions on the act of Rushing, some being girls who

decided not to Rush at all, the new babies of the sororities, and girls that were not accepted into any sororities at all.
