5 Reasons Why Female Recruitment Tops Fraternity Rush

 

 

While Duke girls love complaining about how tiring, long, and regulated girls rush is, we 

 

should all take a step back and think about the men’s rushing process and how lucky we 

 

truly are…

 

 

1. Firstly, we never have to make the first move. At recruitment at the Convention Center, 

 

girls are approached by a sorority sister and instantly engaged in conversation. Men, on the 

 

other hand, must go up to brothers and initiate their own conversations. It is completely up 

 

to them to make the impression and carry on the conversation.

 

 

2. Boys are judged in party settings. Imagine having to dance and socialize at recruitment. 

 

Not every girl is a party girl, and fortunately, freshmen girls are not judged on how well 

 

they can rage.

 

 

3. We don’t have to decide how to split our time. While the boys may be dealing with 

 

multiple events on the same night or at the same time and must choose which frat to 

 

prioritize, girls do not have to deal with this dilemma and make tough decisions.

 

 

4. Recruitment is shorter than guys’ rush. AND we don’t have to come back early from 

 

winter break.

 

 

5. We get to celebrate at the end of it! While girls are showered with hugs, pictures, and 

 

excitement, boys get to look forward to a semester of hazing and misery as pledges.

 

 

We have a lot to be thankful for, ladies.
