  Speaker 2: Anyway, so with you guys.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Warmer weather is coming and that can only mean one
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: thing that rush season is around the corner. So today
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: we are diving into the ultimate rush dues and don't
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: breaking down what to do, what to avoid, everything in between.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: So let's get into it. So we have heard to
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: do certain things in April if you want to join
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: a sorority, right, So, Gia.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So when I had a rush, I actually rushed
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: first semester and basically the only requirement that we had
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to have was a good GPA and I really don't
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: remember if I did have to have a resume, but
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: if anything, then that was just my resume from high
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: school that I used while applying to college, So basically
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: anything that I was involved in in high school, which
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: was you know, the Make a Wish Foundation, Saint Jude's Foundation,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: kind of any like foundation or clubs that you were
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: involved with in high school that.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Could better your chance of getting into your sorority. Right, And.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I had the GPA. A lot of my
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: friends didn't, so I I kind of wanted to rush
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: alone with only a couple people.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: That I knew. But it was super fun, long days.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: But it was also exciting because well, as a freshman,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: it's like, you want to get involved somewhat in a
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: big school.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Did you feel like, I mean, now it sounds like
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: you have to have these things done right if you
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: want to join authorty and you have to do them
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: in high school, which to me is just complete insanity.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Like they say, now there's all these these all this
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: advice about you have to finish up your social resume
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: right even if you don't have your GPA, and you
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: put it on the college's Facebook groups and Instagrams and
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: make sure your social media is cleaned up. This is
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: all before you even start the process.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: This is a lot.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it was nearly as intense as
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it is now, but I could, like I could predict
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that obviously any sorority who had interest in me probably
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: did look at my socials. So obviously I would say
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to any girl who's thinking about rushing, and if you're underage,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: do not post with alcohol bottles or don't maybe post like,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: don't post vulgar things if you want to get into
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: like one of the top sororities. So they definitely do
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: a background check on you. I think that's pretty.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Standard, and they just see and.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Judge you based off of your social media if they
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: want you to.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Be in the sorority.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: And then when they meet you in person, I guess
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that solidifies it all.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Trusty, you didn't have this right, We didn't have this girl.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Social media wasn't even right, right. I always say, you're so,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: you're you're younger than I am, tristed, but like, yeah,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: like that wasn't.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, not by much.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: I'm fifty three, so I you know, no, we didn't
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: have to worry about this. You you get through high school,
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: you're enjoying your senior year, You're you're finishing up, you're graduating,
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: you're doing all the exciting things, right, and then you
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: go to college and then you worry about rush. Then
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: maybe you were asking for letters of recommendation, but you
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: weren't doing any of the things that I'm hearing about
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: as I'm saying, I have a friend who who was
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: going like literally going to visit with the sorority leaders,
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: like or the girls in the sorority that she knew,
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: or any contacts like this past fall or maybe even
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: like the winter of their of their senior year. So
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: if they know that they want to rush a particular sorority,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: they are having.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: To go visit.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: And and she's going you don't even know if ye
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: do you know? Well, I think she may have already
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: been admitted, because I think she was early decision.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: But where, but she's going.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: She's going to Alabama and she and obviously Biama has
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: like a really intense rush, right, so she was like
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: all about it. She knows the stories that she wants.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: She was going, this is Colorado to Alabama. It's not
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: like it's close. You know, She's taking plane flights to go,
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: you know, to males and do all these kind of
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: social things. They're going to lunches, they're going out there,
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: like you have to be on and it is during
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: your senior year.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: So I'm sorry you guys. I think that's so it's crazy.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I don't mean to be like extremely, but like, give
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: me a break.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Your senior in high school, you're trying to enjoy You've
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: now you had to go through four years of high school,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: which is like the worst thing ever, right, I mean
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: not for everyone, but like some people.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Gee, I think you had a great high school experience whatever.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Who knows.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, senior year was probably one of the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: best years of my life.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Okay. Also, my senior year.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Of high school, I definitely was not thinking about what
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I would be doing for Rush going into Rutgers. So
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy that a lot of the you
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: know that a lot of the seniors who are graduating
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and you know, they're excited for graduation and going to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: college now have to think about their Rush resumes in April.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I think it's awful.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Like, I think it's a bit much, And I mean
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I just saw a Rush resume.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: An example of one.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: It was this woman Ashley Journ again and they look
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: really intense. It literally looks like you're applying for a job.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, you have to put a headshot. It almost
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: looks like a modeling portfolio. I mean I didn't yeah
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: those when I was younger, but it's basically a standard
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: piece of paper with your headshot, your education, your major,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: like anything that you did in extracurriculars for high school,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: like your business accomplishments.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: It just so, I mean, in case you weren't anxious
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: enough about starting college, yeah, and about it, and you
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: you weren't like you weren't busy enough applying and getting
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: in all of your applications and your test and now
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: you have to put together a resume.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: It's too much, in my lie.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: It does seem like a lot of pressure. I mean, regardless,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: it's pretty standard though for for most students at least
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: when they are applying to college. You kind of do
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: have to put up a resume. I mean I have
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: one that is saved like from high school that I
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: did apply to schools with, so I mean you can
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: just use that and you know, hope for the best.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: But just a word of advice my opinion, and I
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: mean just because I have younger sisters. I think being
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: involved in high school, regardless if you're planning on joining
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a sorority or not, is very beneficial while applying to college.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Just to show that you are involved in that you
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: were involved in, you know, any clubs or extracurricular activities,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I think that's always a plus.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: It probably is. I mean I'm not saying it's.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Not, you know, and if you were like you know,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: student council in high school, like all of that stuff,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: like I think helps while applying to college.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Not saying that's gonna get you in.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: But I guess now sororites are requiring a resume, which
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that was not the case for me.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: But I just say, copy and paste the one that
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: you sent to your colleges and you should be fine.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: I feel like you have to like actually make it
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: look super cutesy and like very feminine, do you know
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: what I mean, like as opposed to like a professional resume.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: I know that the girl the ones that I've received
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: for writing letters or recommendation for Alpha I was an
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: Alpha Kai for Alpha Kai, they have like I feel
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: like I saved it because I wanted to remember what
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: it looked like when I was receiving letters of recommendations,
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: so that when Blakesley goes through it, she's a junior
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: this year in high school, when she goes through it,
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: I knew what to put together.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: But it was like she.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Had her monogram on the on the envelope, are on
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: the folder of the outside, and then she had an adorable,
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: you know, little headshot, and then it was like all
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: cute colors and it may have even been I think
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: one of them was applied to Clemson, and so she
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: had like the Clemson colors. So you have to, like,
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: I mean, it really takes a lot of effort and
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: energy these days to just like not only apply to
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: the college, which is so stressful, but apply to essentially
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: apply to be part of rush and and and put
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: your best face forward.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: It's just a lot.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, now now that you say that, now that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at this woman, she you know, put an
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: example up of what a resume should look like.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: It does look very gurly.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right. Doesn't that depend on the sorority.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, hopefully they are enough toted out there for
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: girls that are not you know, yes gurly or whatever
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: me right, right.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: But I just feel like for these it was very southern,
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean, like very southern sorority, like
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: very the monograms and you know, all of the things,
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: and definitely that doesn't have to be everywhere. But I
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: just feel like it's just the effort, you know, there's
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: just a lot of effort that needs to be put
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: into them.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Gia.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: You just mentioned this woman Ashley or these different pages
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: crush my rush and uh what are the other there
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: are some other ones at the sorority, Sister, and I'm
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: sure they're doing God's work and I'm you know, I'm
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: sure that they are helping girls everywhere.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: But but then this also like goes back to like
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: these women are also probably rush coaches, which again I
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: think is just crazy.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Gea.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: We interviewed them, remember at the Black Governors. I want
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: to say our first pod, you're interviewing rush coaches.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like, go in be yourself. I don't think it
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: needs to be that much pressure. Sure, if you want
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to put a little more effort into your resume, but
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think you need to be coached on how
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to be yourself.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Well that's when we talked to these coaches about that.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Okay, so I have a friend who I went to
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: Indiana with. I was a red stepper with her and
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: she was a kyo and she started what.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Is a red stepper?
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Sorry, I can't let go. What is a red stepper?
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Jen?
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I love you?
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: It was like the we danced at the football game.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Of course, of course you were a red stepper. Why
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: doesn't that surprise me for one second?
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: So anyway, she started a curdy rush business where she
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: coaches people. She teaches people how to apply, how to
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: get in, what to do, what not to do, like
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: literally all of these things she's telling people.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: To to do.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: It's a huge, huge business and people pay for it
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: because they feel like this is what they have to
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: be doing in college. If they don't get into a sorority,
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: then they're not going to have a good college experience.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: Like that's that for some people, that's what they think, right, Yeah,
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: I want I want to bring her on or like
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: connect her to you guys and crush my crush my
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: rush actually sounds like the name of the business that
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: she started, but I don't know if that's it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: I'm we had interviewed a couple of these women again,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: that was like our first pod and I remember afterwards,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: probably it was very nice to me, but I was like,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: give me a business.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's my friend Jen Caravetta.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: So we went to iun that is her, that's her company,
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: crush My Rush.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: That's mystical.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: What a guy crush my Rush.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure that she again is doing good work.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: But I remember GA after we'd interviewed these people, they
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: were charging thousands of dollars and it was.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Like, it's like minimum at least it was like a
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: five thousand dollars flat fee. And I mean people also
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: pay that money for college advisors, where in that sense,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I think college advisors are super, super helpful, Like I
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: had one. They helped, so did Rachel tremendously, Like I
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: could not stand on that more, but.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: To pay an extra five thousand the way.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: If you think that if Rachel Fessler came to me
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: before she started at the University of Delaware her senior
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: year and said, Mommy, I need five thousand dollars for
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: a rush, Get thee out of here, you crazy, it's.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: A little too much.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I just feel like even if I said that to
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: my mom, just because she didn't do a sorority, she
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: didn't rush. She just you know, she went to a
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: local school and got her so see its degree, there
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: wasn't she wasn't allowed to go far. So if I
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: you know, I think it's for the parents who don't
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: know what it is and then for their children to
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: like ask them, oh, Mom, like you know, going into
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: this new chapter of my life, would I be able
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: to get a rush coach?
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: I really feel like my mom would say yes.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Because she would be like, like, she doesn't know.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: What age one clear, Like okay, you.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Know the same thing with a college advisor. My mom
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: was like okay, girls, like if you guys need one,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: no problem. But now obviously like I'm the first. If
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I were to ask her for a rush coach, I
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: really do think she would have been like okay, because
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: she would have wanted me to have the.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Best college experience.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: But trickling down to my other sisters, I would look
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: at my mom and be like, absolutely not, they do
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: not need one, like.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: This screen it up for Adriana or yeah, all of
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: them screw well.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: I think it.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: Also depends on the school that you go to, because
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: there are schools like the Southern schools that are like
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: the Florida schools and all of those schools. It's so competitive,
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: so who are are fully invested and honestly, legacies don't
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: matter anymore, Like I forget that it actually works against you.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: So like these ladies who are like, oh, my daughter
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: will be fine. I was a coio, I was an
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: efflicate whatever. You cannot rely on that anymore because I
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: think they actually hold it against you. So I think
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: that this business. When I heard that my friend that
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Jen was doing, crushed my rush. I was like, I
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: want to be involved, Like what a great idea to
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: help these girls. And if people are gonna pay, they're
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: gonna pay, you know, if they want, you know, like, hey,
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: I gave Jen all the props. If you don't want
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: to use it, you don't want to use it. But
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: I think that she does a really good job. Of course,
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: can't guarantee that she's gonna be able to get you
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: into a sorority, but she's gonna help you, you know,
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: to be able to put.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: Your best foot forward.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: The only thing where I say it could be beneficial
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: is if you are not the most maybe outgoing person,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: and if talking to new people scares you or intimidates you.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: That is where I could only see it being beneficial.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: But if you are somebody who is super outgoing, can
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: hold a conversation and you know, really really enjoys getting
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: to know people and being bubbly, and you know you
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: don't burn out quickly because Russia, Russia is really long days.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Then I think that you know, going the lengths.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Of getting a rush coach and following up with how
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to be taught to kind of be during Rush.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: I think it's a bit much.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: But if you are some who is a little shy
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and does have trouble getting to know new people and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: being as social.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Then I understand it. I use that it all depends
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: on the person.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: And I know that it's important.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I know that that the sorority that you get into
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: definitely affects your four years, right and not. So I
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: don't want to like minimize the importance of it. And
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: if you have the money and you're anxious and you
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: can do it for yourself or your parents can help
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: you with it, great. I just know here in the
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Fessler household, I don't give a shit that she needed
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: it or not. I wasn't hiring a five thousand dollars
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: rush code, so I'm not that good of a mother.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: But like, I mean, yeah, I mean also if you
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: have it, if you're within the means to do it, sure,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: but do I think it's.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: A necessary thing to do.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: No.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Also, your personality and who you are as a person,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: you are going to gravitate towards those girls as you rush,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: So that'll also all fall into place when the time comes,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I hope.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: So I just feel like I have heard so many
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: horror stories of people that are they're great girls, great personalities,
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: super cute, great families. You know, they're academically excellent, you know,
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: they've done really well in school, and still they have
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: issues because of all of the things that the sororities
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: require you to do these days. And that's like, I mean,
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: I've I've heard so much as you have to have
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: this bag, you have to have this belt, you have
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: to have you know, all of these things, and they're
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: like if you don't, oh you're out.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm sorry.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: What Like it's I don't think it's as easy as
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: it was. Not easy as not the word, but it
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: was I think more innocent back in the day when
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: you could actually just show up and be like, Hi,
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: I'm Trista. It's so nice to meet you and like
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: show off your personality and that's how you got into
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: a sorority, that that was what it was about, because
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: it should be about if you click with the girls,
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: if you have the same vision and values in all
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: of that. But I don't know that it's it's like
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: that because I because it's kind of on my radar
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: for the future. I've been paying attention, and I think
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: it's too bad that a lot of it seems to be,
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: you know, more focused on superficial stuff and stuff that
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: you like have to have instead of who you are.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah. See, that was not the case for me at all.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: And I went to Rutgers University Big ten school and
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: that was just not my experience. I mean, my sister
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Gabriella recently also just rushed. She's a junior, so she
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: rushed her freshman year at the University of Michigan again,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: another Big ten and Michigan blows Rutgers out of the
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: water with just like how intense and fun the school is,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: you know, school spirit, the whole nine yards. And she
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: did not have that experience either. I think good when
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: it comes to the materialistic things an aspect of it,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I really think it targets those Southern schools, which is sad,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: but you know, in a school like Alabama, I think
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: some of the sororities really do target that, and I
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: think it is sad because it does put a lot
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: of pressure on the girls. And Alabama it's a great school.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: It's so fun, like Greek life is a huge part
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: of it. But I think it does put a lot
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: of pressure, and I think the pressure is really high
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: with schools in the South.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they also talked about having rush.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Bags, and I don't know if your daughter is looking
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: into that, but rush bags are basically just like a
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: bag of goodies that you hold around with you all
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: day to kind of keep you afloat.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: I mean when I was rushing, sure.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I had a granola bar in it, maybe a powder
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: puff with some powder, my water, and just little things
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: to get me through the day, deodorant, perfume. But the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: bag didn't have to be anything crazy, just was like,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: you know, a little toe bag to like walk around
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: with and store your things in. But I don't know,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I think it gets a little crazy where they're like
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: stock up. I mean, I do think a bag is
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: important to carry mint if your shoes hurt in between
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: walking from house to house, a hair brush, little makeup,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: stuff like a snack, water. But I don't think the
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: bag should matter. I think you should just have like
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the things you need to fuel you throughout the day.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: But are they saying that you have to have like
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: a certain type of bag, Like what's the tell me
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: about the rush bag, because.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. The rush bag.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I mean when I rushed, when I, you know, and
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: my sister's rushed, it's literally just a bag of little essentials.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: That you need to get you throughout your day.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: So obviously you're talking all day, you want to stock
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: up with some mince or gum in case, like you know,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: it just happens sometimes when you're talking all day, I.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Have fresh breath, Yeah, yes, sure.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Then some comfy shoes because typically when you are rushing,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: you want to put on like a little kitten heel
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: or a heel when you're rushing, So just to carry around,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: some sandals or slippers to slip on between houses. Then
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: a hair brush if you want obviously to fix your hair,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: some makeup, a mini fan, especially if you go to
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: a school like that's really hot, just to keep you cool. Water, bottles,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: some snacks like deodor and perfume, just to keep you
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: prepared throughout your day.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: And I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I also don't think they have a standard on what
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: the bag needs to look like.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: I really hope not.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, but I think it's just like a little toe
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: bag that you keep around.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: I think you packed, you pack a flask, you pack
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: a joint, and you pack a xanax and then you
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: go from house to house and try to get through
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: your effing day.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I would recommend if I'm.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: A if I'm a sorority Rush captain whatever or whatever
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: professional rush person, I'm saying, yes, pack yourself an edible
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: and hit the road.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Just kidding, just.
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: Kidding, listeners, all right, So even imagine what rush would
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: be like if that were the case, and everyone it's
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: a lot more fun.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: He would be crazy. Yeah, we would all be awful.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Everyone would be just laughing. Yes.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: I don't remember ever even thinking of those things back
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: in the day.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I mean neither. I feel like, Gosh, you just showed up. Yeah,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: you just showed up.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: And hope even really think about I mean, I know
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: I thought about what I wore. But it wasn't like,
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: you know, like going out. I know that people get
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: outfits upon outfits upon outfits, like you have to have
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: a different outfit and please back in the day, you
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: wore the same outfit, maybe like two different days to
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: the different sororities, you know, but it's like, oh no,
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: you have to have this dress for this sorority and
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: this dress for this sorority and this dress for this sority.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I'm like, it's just so much.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: It's so much. I mean I was definitely in the
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: same outfit all day. God Like, I mean I.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Changed obviously each day that we had, but I was
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: in one outfit all day.
• 24:36
