First of all, I wouldn’t recommend that any 1st semester freshman participate in rush. What’s the hurry? I look at frats and sororities as a club, a group, whatever you want to call it. I am amazed when kids are determined to not be in the Greek system, but don’t know anything about it. They are not ALL party boys and girls. Some are, for sure, but this is college. It’s time to open up your mind and experience life, not make a judgement before you even move into your dorm.
