lists of who they want If a
rushers' choices include houses
• hat have choosen him or her as
well, the house sends a bid to
(he rushee, a formal invitation
to join the house as a pledge.
The popular and socially sue*
i essful may receive more than
one bid, but in the end one
house must be picked.
Throughout the process
rushees can consult with rush
counselors, members of the
Cinwk system who serve as
guides and w h o a n s w e r
rushees' questions. The
counselors c annot tell rushees
which house they belong to in
c ase the rushee becomes biased,
so don’t bother askitiR
Beyond the haste: rush format,
sharp differenc es exist between
sorority and fraternity rush The
greatest difference involves
liming.
Over two days sorority
rushees visit eac h house for ex
actly one half-hour. As the; rush
prtH.ess continues and rushees
make thfir preferences, the
allotted time inc reases gradual
ly by five to 10 minutes, with an
hour and 15 minutes allowed
for the final preference parlies.
"Everything is timed right
down to the minute," said Ann
Berner, an assistant to the Dean
for Greek life
Even if a sorority rushee
forgets an umbrella at a house,
she cannot return to pick it up
until after rush; she may
become biased in favor of the
house if she visits it outside of
the rush process
Informality makes fraternity
rush different Rushees can visit
houses on their own time dur
ing "informal rush" in the
afternoons They can even live
in a house during rush week,
although it may involve camp
ing out on the floor. Initial tours
of the 1(> fraternities take place
on the second day of rush. Dur
ing preferencing. a half-hour for
each house is a guideline rather
than a rule.
Sorority rush also contains
more regulation and a higher
level of organization.
All sorority rush events must
remain on the house grounds,
while during the end of fraterni
ty rush houses take rushees on
rafting trips, out golfing, and on
other excusions.
"Sorority rush is a whole dif
ferent ballgame. fraternity
rush is laid hack, there's some
casual beer drinking going on.
it's not formal." said Frichette.
A schedule of ceremonies,
skits and singing sessions keep
sorority rushees occupied
throughout rush, again with
each activity on a strict time
frame.
However, sorority rush at the
University is considered casual
enough to make it u.iique from
rushes in other states. I'he south
makes sorority rush into an in
tensely formal affair, with taf
feta and satin dresses being the
rule, according to Berner.
"Here they’re wearing bright
colors, or khaki shorts, so its a
lot more casual," said Berner.
What do houses look for in a
rushee? Standards naturally
vary from house to house
"We look for somebody
who’s going to add something
to the house, someone who’s a
real nice guy. a gentleman, not
just some high school guy with
a big chip on his shoulder out to
show how cool he is." said
Kunyard of his own house.
Frichette’s house looks for the
aggressive and self-confident
The house pays special atten
tion to the first rushees coming
through the door, considered a
sign of a desirable trait in a
future member.
"Basically they're looking for
people who will give something
to the system, give something to
the house,” said Heather Mills,
of the Panhellinic rush
committee.
Grade requirements play a
crucial role in the selection pro
cess. Again, no two houses
follow the same requirement,
but minimum GPA levels range
from 2.25 to 3.00.
Personality and grade re
quirement aside, Greek leaders
claim a low, virtually nonexis
tent rejection rate. "Shut-outs."
