Rush Week

Rush week is by far the most intense and stressful week at SMU so far. That sounds so wrong because just a month ago we had finals and it’s sad to say but rush week was more stressful then finals! Everyday we have we had to wake up a certain time wear a certain outfit and talked to people that we had no interest in talking to. Girls went all out with extravagant hairstyles, tons of makeup, and gorgeous dresses. I feel that the school puts too much pressure on girls to join sororities. Basically if you are not apart of a sorority then your social life goes down the drain. What about all the people who don’t get in to a sorority? THEY TRANSFER… How absurd is that I thought it was just a joke before that the “moving trucks” line the street the day after bid day! But it was true one of my best friends even transferred. This whole process was straight out of a movie, So surreal. Being in a sorority is like a sister hood so I can understand the perks. You bond with your pledge class meet new people and it’s a great way to socialize but for those that are “GDI” meaning god dam independent I feel bad for because it excludes them from so many events.
