  Speaker 1: Welcome to Dirty Rush, The Truth about Sorority Life with
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: your hosts me Gia Judice, Daisy.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Kent, and Jennifer Kessler.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Welcome back for first two of this week's Dirty Rush.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Today, I'm speaking with three generations of my family.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: I'm Lauren, Sarah, Megan, Grammy Taylor, and we're here to
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: answer some more questions. So let's dive into it. How
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: has your solreaty shaped who you are now years later?
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: Probably just the friendships that broils down to.
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's all you're left with after those four years
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: of college is how much you keep in touch and
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: rehashing memories and stories and just laughing about memories, and
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: that's what it really is.
• 0:51
  Speaker 6: Left.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we're doing with that too.
• 0:56
  Speaker 7: A lot of my s Ferriti's sisters ended up marrying
• 1:00
  Speaker 7: my husband's fraternity brothers, so we have had some wonderful
• 1:05
  Speaker 7: reunions and everything.
• 1:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that I agree with everything you guys
• 1:12
  Speaker 8: are saying, like friendships and hopefully they last forever. Since
• 1:16
  Speaker 8: I just graduated, but also I will stay. Being on
• 1:19
  Speaker 8: the recruiting side for one time I think was really
• 1:23
  Speaker 8: interesting just seeing the back end of the process and
• 1:26
  Speaker 8: it kind of made me more aware of sort of
• 1:28
  Speaker 8: different recruiting processes when it comes to jobs and stuff
• 1:31
  Speaker 8: like that, and that there's always more going on and
• 1:34
  Speaker 8: like more they know about you than you would even imagine.
• 1:36
  Speaker 8: So maybe a little bit more skeptical. Yeah, what do you.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Think sororities do really well these days? And where do
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you think that they fall short?
• 1:47
  Speaker 8: I think there's a ton of opportunities to get involved,
• 1:49
  Speaker 8: At least at our school, there's like a million different positions. Yeah,
• 1:53
  Speaker 8: and it's not really hard to get one. So I
• 1:56
  Speaker 8: think that's amazing stuff you can add to your resume
• 1:59
  Speaker 8: leadership opportunities. And then maybe I think they fall short
• 2:03
  Speaker 8: in terms of actual connection. There's not a ton of
• 2:06
  Speaker 8: great opportunities to really connect with your whole PCs, especially
• 2:09
  Speaker 8: if it's like ninety girls like ours are. And so yeah,
• 2:14
  Speaker 8: I think that's what I would answert to that. I agree.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: God, I think a lot of my friends that I've
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: talked about it, like the boys and their PCs all
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: have to know like everyone's name and know like three
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: facts about all of them.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: They just get so.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Close through pledging and everything.
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: And I'm not saying that we should get haste or anything,
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: But I think that it's definitely super important.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Like my PC is I.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: Think one hundred and ten people, and I know like
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: a lot of them, and I hang out with them
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: a lot, and I see them at chapter and different
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: sisterhood events. But there's still people that I will see
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: her in chapter and I've never met them, and it's
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: like when am I going to meet them?
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Am I ever going to?
• 2:47
  Speaker 8: And I think that doing more bonding early on would
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: be definitely like something that I would say they fall
• 2:54
  Speaker 8: short with. But another thing that came to mind when
• 2:57
  Speaker 8: you said something that they do well is this kind
• 3:00
  Speaker 8: of counterintuitive, but like social events with like frats, like
• 3:03
  Speaker 8: when we had Day Night's first semester, like I got
• 3:05
  Speaker 8: to know so many of the boys and I got
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: super close with my friends because we would have those
• 3:10
  Speaker 8: like multiple.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Times a week and it would be super fun.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of more refreshment thing.
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: But I think like social events and formals and stuff
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: for they do really well with.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what about you guys with smaller PCs.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: What I noticed they do really well now is something
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: that we didn't have at all is I'm always impressed.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: By this social media.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's really amazing because I follow both of
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: you know, your all's houses, and I think I followed
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Pandelantic for them, you know, for the school and the
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: way they can communicate and promote things and kind of
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: show their vibe and everything like that, that's impressive to me.
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: I agree, I'm not very knowledgeable about the starts.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, through you guys, you know. So, yeah, I have
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: a good answer for that. This is for Mama Grammy.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I think that RUSH today is harder, easier, or just
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: really different than when you went through it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I think it's probably different than when where I went
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: to school because so many people in the houses and everything,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: you know, but you can you still, you know, make
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the friendships and everything if you joined. So yeah, yeah,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I would say.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Different, you know, yeah, and maybe harder.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: Just I just feel like there's so much more pressure
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: because there's so much more awareness because of social media
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: and because of the trends of the most really the
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: past few years, especially where there's been these breakout stars
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: that are based on RUSH. Yeah, and they really expose
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: the process, and I think it makes it a little
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: different and hard.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I agree.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting to your point earlier where you're talking
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: about social media. It's such great to market yourself and
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: to put yourself out there as a house and really
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: let people get to know you before you come into
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: rush or to communicate about different things that are going on.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: But it also just opens you up to more I
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: don't know if it's better or worse to have more
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: knowledge before going into rush, right, because then you just
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: have preconceived notions and think gets kind of worse.
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I that's interesting.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: What is the worst advice you've ever heard given about rush?
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Oh gosh, I'm trying to think.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I think like.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: People trying to get information out of you and being like, well,
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: it's better to get it off your chest just because
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: they want to know what you're thinking and like where
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: your head's at with your like thoughts on different authorities.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: I think that it's always good to kind of keep
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: it a little close to you and keep it private
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: and I do and that that definitely like works in
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: people's benefit if you like keep it kind of personal
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: because things get around and stuff.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true.
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: I think the worst advice is gonna spraytand in Texas
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: because you're gonna sweatish.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: White shirt that yeahs orbs are orange it's horrible.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like the Panemtic shirt. You like pair it
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: with a skirt.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: And they have to wear it three days and a
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: rossive to wash.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: It and it is like two hundred outside its recipe.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: For that one.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Do you look back on anything you did during Russia
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: and cringe?
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: That's a good Onok.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, some of the chants and songs that I looked
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: back made me cringe a little bit, and kind of
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: some of the not skits but music things, And yeah,
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: it's not very sophisticated back in the nineties.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: I think some of the TikTok dances I just like
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: didn't need to participated.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Wayste just snakes.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: We thought, like curfew, it's just through the downstairs window.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah we did.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: So, I'm not real proud of that. Get caught.
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: No, we have like a home monitor, so it's a
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: little different.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, we had a house mother that lived in the house,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: but she'd always been asleep.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: In no problem. That's funny.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: I think during Rush the only thing that cringed me
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: out was wearing silver jewelry with like an outpit.
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: That was like so bad for silver jewelry.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I still think of it sometimes. That's just me.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I think during Rush, my worst moment was there was
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a house that I really really didn't want, and I
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: was having a really bad day because I got cut
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: from like every house I liked, and I went in
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: there and I kind of watched.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: It because I knew I didn't want that house, and
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: I feel really.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Bad about that because I think I should have given
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: everybody a more chance, a more open minded chance. But
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the squirrel was asking me what a venger would be
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: if I was a supero, and honestly, I don't want to.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I was like crashing out. If your sorority were a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: reality TV show, which one would it be?
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: I would have been The Secret Lives and Morbid Lives.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Everyone was getting married way too young.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, Oh gosh, that's a good one.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: I feel like min would have been this is before
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: your Guys time. But it was an MTV reality show
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: called The Real World.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: What was it about?
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: It was just like they would just pick like eight
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: or ten strangers and put them all in a house
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: together and they would spend the summer together. Yeah, and
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: you would just see how the friendships would develop and
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: who would.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Hang out with you and what they would go do.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Y the real world.
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: I feel like ours would be some like fun show
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: like love Islant. Yeah, I feel like spring Breakers. Yeah,
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: totally totally.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: I don't No, I don't what about any show, any show?
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, let me think about it.
• 9:22
  Speaker 9: Oh, No, friends could be friends, or that would be
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: or the ones that TC could be for more ones
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: a wife because they're all going to the South.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Did being in different sororities from each other ever cause
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: any tension or friendly rivalry.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: In this family?
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: I think when I joined a different when then you
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: were in at TCU, I didn't want it to hurt
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: your feelings or anything, but I think looking back, you
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: didn't care.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I think I've really checked out at that.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I haven't observed that as your mom's you know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: as your mom, I know.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: And it's surprising us all being at the same school.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: But I think I don't know when you think about
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: sisterhood when it comes to sororities, like, we already have
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: my favorite sisterhood, and so anything outside of that is
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: like extra and it's friendship, but it's not the sisterhood.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: That we When you have sisters, multiple sisters, like you,
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: really that's your core.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't hold it as high of a pedestal. Yeah, definitely.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: If you could switch places and join any other person,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: here's sorority. What would you pick and why? Grammy?
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I would pay Grammy? Would that be fun?
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I would choose Mom.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: It was because Alpha house everyone, it's like the top
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: house across the country.
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I feel like it is really good at nationally and
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: I would have loved to experience it.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: At USD just chill lot. It was good.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: But I also would pick the time frame of Grammy's
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: like in the sixties and before we had phone and
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: if your boyfriend wanted to call and ask you out,
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: he'd have to call the house phone or someone would
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: have to take a message for you, you know, just
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: like yeah, that.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Innocent times we had phone booths. You're gonna have privacy. Well,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know for privacy. It was just the old
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: boy I'm doing. Yeah, yeah, did you was it you?
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: I know Dad had this for his fraternity. But did
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: you have a sleeping porch?
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: So yeah, can you talk that? Explain the sleeping porch?
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Well it was a whole floor up from the living area,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: and I guess we got to sign beds. I don't
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: think we got to fight over who gets what, and
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: you can just get up whenever you wanted.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: You know, there was just a room with all the beds. Yeah,
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: all the beds a commuter.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I will say the rooms we've shared were two
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: people per room and we did. I think you you've
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: had sort of like a day bed in there, but
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: it's small.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: You but you were expected to sleep on the sleeping port.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: That's crazy and I know, wow, do you feel like
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: you've got good rest?
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: I do. I don't remember it a problem.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: I think I want to be able to sleep when
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: people like stay up late or get home and you'd
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: get annoyed.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: No, I think you were just so used to people
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: coming and going.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't even wake you up and it was
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: just for sleep, like that's where you were.
