  Speaker 1: Welcome to Dirty Rush, The Truth about Sorority Life with
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: your hosts me Gia Judice.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Daisy Kent, and Jennifer Kessler. Hi, guys, We're back with
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: another episode of Dirty Rush, and today I'm going to
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: be talking all about sorority pinning ceremonies. I personally never
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: went through a sorority pinning ceremony, so I do not
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: know one hundred percent what it's all about. But we
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: are going to have a lot of guests today to
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: talk to us about everything that it is and everything
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: that it entails, and I'm sure we'll hear some really
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: good stories as well along with those. So if I
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: were to think of what a pinning was, going back
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: to my sorority days, I know I got pinned, but
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: it was like when I was getting initiated. Then I
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: got pinned to be in my sorority. But the pinning
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: that we're talking about today is actually I think this
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: is what it is, so people can correct me if
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I'm wrong. But when a guy in a fraternity wants
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: to like be with you forever and so then it's
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: like this huge ceremony. I've heard that some schools like
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: we're all white and then the girl gets pinned and
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: it's parents. Basically like before an engagement comes. So you
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: get pinned and then you get engaged. I guess I'm
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: not really sure how it all works out, but that's
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: my understanding of it. So we're gonna talk to some
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: people and see what it's all about. I know, so
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I know a few girls my age who had them
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: at their school, but besides that, I had never heard
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: about this or knew it was a thing. So I'm
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: interested to talk to these people and see what they say.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: It's all about. Hi, Jennifer, Why, Okay, So I'm so
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: excited to have you on this episode. We heard that
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: you have a pinning ceremony that had happened, and you
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: went to one and experienced one.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I had.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I was in a sorority, but I actually experienced a pinning.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: So I think it's when like a guy really likes
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: a girl, he pins her and then they like get
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: engaged or something. But can you let us know what
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: your experience was.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I didn't know the girl super well. She
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: was an upperclassman at the time. I was an underclassman. Okay,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: because I was an underclassman, we were told that we
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: had to go to this, so we didn't make a
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: lot of choice in the matter. I don't even know
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: if these people ended up getting engaged, but it's pretty strange.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: It's like.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: The entire frat house came out. Oh, all presented her
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: with a single rose.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, like all of them handed her a rose.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: While singing, and then eventually she had a giant bouquet
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: of roses and he pinned her with his fraternity pin
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: and we were all outside. I don't know why I
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: had to be there. We were just kind of like
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: supporting her and like we had it all.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Be there, Yeah, just so she wasn't like alone standing there.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like a giant gaggle of girls just
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: standing there watching men bring up single flowers and singing.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Do you know, like how long they have been dating before?
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I think like a year? You know nothing, okay, your
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: college sweethearts. I do not remember the exact song that
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: they sang. I think it may have been like top
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: gun you've lost that love and feeling, which wouldn't make
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: any sense in context.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Right, So were there a lot of girls in your
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: sorority throughout college that got pinned?
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I mean I believe there was like at least one
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: a year that got.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Pinned, and so if you get pinned, it's like that's
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: basically like their proposing kind of.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: I think, I don't know, it's so heteronormative and strange.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: It's like a light proposal. I don't know what it is.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: That's so funny. Do you know if they like, did
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: she wear the pin or out?
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: No, I don't think so. She only wore it when
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: she was pinned. And then I do remember that we
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: all had to be in black.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: That was very o you all had to be in black? Yes, okay?
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Was she in white or black?
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: No, she wasn't black as well.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Sounds like a funeral.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure if it was a promise ring but
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: a promise pined Like I don't know, you know, I wasn't.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: I didn't go to college to get married, so I'm
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: not sure.
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: Like I love that.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if this was like.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: A pro I feel like most people don't. I feel
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: like a lot of people now like they like find
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: their person in college. But yeah, I'm also like, isn't
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: everyone's like away from home and like figuring things out.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: So M just also like it's funny because like you
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: didn't even like really know the girl you said, and
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't think i'd want people there who
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that well, yeah, I.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Mean I'm not sure what you're experience and a sorority
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: was like, I have no regrets in being involved. I
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: just found that when we were supposed to treat all
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: one hundred and eighty girls that were in it as
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: one big friend group, it was kind of strange because, yeah,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: I don't have one hundred and eighty close friends.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's so true. It's like when you're in it,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's like this like sisterhood thing. But
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: then like when I think about it right now, I'm like,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I would not want one hundred and eighty girls that
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I barely knew at my boddy.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I mean I have like ten really good girlfriends that
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: I made from it, and then I have like, you know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: a satellite group of a few others that I stay, Yeah,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: I'm friendly with, but I'm not best friends with one
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: hundred and eighty girls. Correct.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of how mine is too. I don't
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: regret doing it at all either. I had such a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: great experience and it was so fun, but yeah, it
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: is funny those like little things like that. Wow, I
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: really wonder if that couples together.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Still, I don't care perfonally, I am sorry that sounds bitchy, No,
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: not at all. I mean I think I was just
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: told that I had to be there because I was
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: an underclassman and they needed bodies, yeah, throughout the situation, which,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: like I don't really know why they needed a giant
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: gaggle of girls standing on steps watching a girl get roses.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is so true. It is funny all those
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: little things. And also like I wonder, like is it
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: planned ahead of time? Do you know, like how ahead
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: of time do people know that, like she's gonna get pinned?
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: So I think, okay, I might be like misremembering this,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: but I'm pretty sure that the pin eat is in
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: the dark. They don't know what's coming. They're told that
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: they have to be at the house for a special event,
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: and we're black. Oh wow for the story that I
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: was in, So I think it was a surprise. But
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: then when I heard she kind of knew it was coming.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: And you know, obviously when a giant group of men
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: start singing at you and giving you flowers, like you know,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: something's going to happen to.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: You, Oh for sure.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: I mean hopefully it's just getting pinned.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Uh, But like I kind of love the like thrill
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: of that, like not knowing if it's you.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah. This was in the aughts, late outs, like midats,
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: so not recently. But my my younger sister did get pinned.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: And she's ten years younger than me, so.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Oh no way. Yeah, is she still with the guy?
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: They got married?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they are married.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: They got married last year.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, that's amazing.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: No, But like it's funny because I don't really think
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: that that was her style. I think they were just
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: you know, at the Yeah, but they're they're really cute couple.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I wasn't there for that because I obviously wasn't in
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: school at that time.
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: So did she like get pinned and then get engaged.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: No, No, she got pinned, was with him for like
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: an additional five years, then got engaged.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, so it was like two separate.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: It wasn't really a formal pre engagement type of situation
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: with her at all.
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: I feel like back in the day it probably was
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: a pre engagement, but I don't know, you.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, I'm sure, like depending on the school and
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: like the situation too, it's probably different.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well this is southern California, like USC. So okay,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: I feel like in I don't were you in like
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: a southern sorority or were you in what what area?
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: I went to San Diego State.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Okay, God, this is southern California as well.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I feel like southern.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Ones probably do it a little different or you know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: everyone's got their own flavor.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Oh for sure. Well, thank you so much for coming on.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: It was great to talk to you, Jennifer. Okay, everyone,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: we have Jeanette and Mollie. Hi you guys.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Hello.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: So I'm curious to hear your experience about the whole
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: like pinning situation. For me, my understanding was it. A
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: pinning for a sorority is when a fraternity I really
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: likes her basically wants to get engaged to her and
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: they get pinned. But tell me from your guys's experience,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: what it is.
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: I mean, that's like it, that's what it is.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: But it's like at our school, it was just like
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: a huge roast pretty much, and.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: It was oh no way, it was like.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: One big roast and then yeah, like usually it was
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: a couple, so whoever's like been dating for a while,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: it's like a big deal at the end, like you're
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: gonna have a pinning and it's originally it was like
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to like pin your frat pin on the girl,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: and it's like this whole big thing, and I think
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that's how it started. And then as the years went
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: on and like it just became like this whole entire,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: huge roast battle.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Between the girls.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: She has like a panel, so it would be like,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know, like five girls her roommates usually, and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: then they have like five guys and then they would
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: kind of go through and roast the girls would roast
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the guys, and then they would roast the couple.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Uh okay, yeah, So would it always be like just
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the girls roasting the guy or would the guys roast
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: the girls too?
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: So the guys would they would first roast the guys
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: and then they would go down and do all the girls.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: So you would have.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Like some roommates who are like they're like, oh, we're
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: like super good friends, You're my best friend, but and
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: then be this like horrible, like not funny, rude.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Roast about like the girl like they're ing.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: So it would be like, hey, sister, I love you
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: so much, but and then it would be like you
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: have no personality and you're super annoying. And that was
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: like fully, like we were in the audience and we
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: heard that, and we were like, that's just not funny.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: It's just like you have to go home together and
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: you're still roommates.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Do you have like any particular ones that were like
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: crazy that you remember.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: So there was one that we saw and it was
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: a girl talking to her best friend and she was like, Hey,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: you're like my best friend, but you don't have any
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: other friends and I'm your only friend and you're so
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: annoying or like it was something like that.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Yeah, that's like so sad. And when
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: you were like picked, did you guys ever have to
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: do the roast?
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: So the one that we weren't, I was the.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: MC, so I was like leading it and I would
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: be like next up is this person?
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: And I would just say like the lightest not even rude,
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: like hey whatever. Molly was the one who was on the.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Panel, Okay, what was your experience, Mollie.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: So leading up to it, we were when I like
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: had to be on this panel. I was like, one,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: this is really scary, and I don't want to do
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: this because you're in front of a whole group of
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: people and this is really scary. So Janette, my girl,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: gave me a little anxiety pill because I was super
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: anxious and I was like freaking out.
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: I don't want to do this.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: I don't want to be roasted whatever.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Like I got a chill, yeah, I needed to chill.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: And then I was also sick, so I also like
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: had some day quill and I had some musin X
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and then I was like, well to really like I
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be nervous. I'm going to take
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: shots too.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: So I was so.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Hammered and I don't remember any of it, but I
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: do remember I was hooking up with this guy and
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I also hooked up with his little and so pretty
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: much the whole roast was like you hooked up with
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: this guy's little and yeah, that was pretty humiliating. I
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: got some Some guys were like I got roasted on
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: being like loud and annoying, and I'm like, sorry, I'm fun.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, honestly, this just sounds kind of evil.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: It was evil, like who came up with this.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but they used to be like super
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: romantic and it would be like it was like so
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: beautiful and they would have like their candles and it
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: was like it was like all for the couple. But
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: now it is like a total crap. Shoot, you don't
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: even say anything nice about like the they'll say at
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: like the last second, they'll be like blah blah blah
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: blah blah, saying all this mean stuff and then they'll
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: be like, but you guys are the best.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Also, I feel like college is already like a hard
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: like enough time, like you don't need that on top
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: of it. But whose idea is it to like get pinned?
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Is it the guy or the girl?
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: Then?
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Like who's like I want to be roasted with my friends?
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: For me?
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: All of my friends and my boyfriend's friends wanted to
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: do it, so they were like, okay, I have one.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I did not want it because I was like that
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: sounds like my personal hell. And so that was how
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: that started. But we were going to do ours like
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: later in the year, and so everyone was having theirs,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: like one after the other, yeah, and they were just
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: getting like worse and worse, like they just it wasn't cute.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: See, it wasn't levy.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: It was just like a hard watch and they were
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: like two hours.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah that sounds horrible.

  Speaker 2: a lot of.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: Tea though, Yeah, a lot of tea.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, lot of t I'm sure there was a lot
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: of drama afterwards too.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, how could they're not me?
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: We had so we would have when we would have
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: like an ivy man or I was in Alpha Fia
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: at San Diego, say, and so we would pick like
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: the like top like favorite five guys from like each
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: fraternity or whatever, and they would come in and compete
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: for Ivyman. And one of the things was a roast
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: and they had to like sit in front of all
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: of us and then people could like ask them whatever
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: questions they want or like interrogate them. And I remember
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: one of them was like so bad. I was like
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: this is horrible. I feel so bad for this guy.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I want to leave, and then like everyone and ended
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: up apologizing to him after. And it was like this
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: huge ordeal because I was like this is horrible.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: It's like at what costs? Like best case.
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: Scenario, what you're the ivy man, Like I know, right,
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: I can't believe.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine like girls going at girls though, and
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: guys too, like mixing it all together. That would be crazy.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: Honestly. It was like everyone would have drinks and.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Like everyone was kind of like free forrawling, like yeah,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: like no matter what, like if you're drunk or even
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: be say more.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Exactly, so there was like no boundary.
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: That so bad.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I guess people got to get things off their shoulders.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: No, really, is.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: There anyone that you guys were friends with and then
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: like heard them say something. I know, Jeanette, you didn't
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: really get roasted, But Mollie, do you remember anyone that
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: you heard like say something about you? And you were
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: really like okay, like I do not want you to
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: be like at of my life anymore.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Not me personally, but like I've seen it. I think
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: we saw it at one of the pinnings. One of
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the girls who was on the panel, a guy roasted
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: her and like this is so bad. He like went
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: after her weight, and so after that it was just
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: like everyone was like screw this guy.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: Like that was just.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's horrible, horrible, and so yeah, I think and
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: like then he was like kind of known as like
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: no one is that guy.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: He's a total loser.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Oh for sure if you do something like that.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: It was yeah, that was like his junior year and
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: like his senior year was just like like he was
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: known for that.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he probably had the worst year after that.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: Was like a year long of scaries.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my goodness, for sure. Okay, wait, so Jeannette,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: you were pinned, right.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: I was pinned?
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: And are you still with him?
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I am not still with him? Okay, So yeah I
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: was pinned. And just like we were saying, after we
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: saw like everyone else's we were like, this sounds horrible.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: So at the end of the year, when it was
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: like our turn, last minute, we all were like, f this,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: we can't do this. So we just had like a
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: hula party and we had like the cheerleaders and like
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: the guys did like a hula dance and everyone just
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: blacked out and like we played game.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: So that was like my pinning.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Sounds like a great dive. So you can kind of
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: decide at your school, you could kind of decide what
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: you wanted your pinning to be if you didn't want
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: to do the roast or was that just you just
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: being like screw this, like I'm doing whatever I want.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was kind of me, just like f this.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: But they's supposed to be a roast. And so people
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: were coming and they were like wait what and I
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: was like, I don't know, but thanks for coming.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm happy your pinning was more fun than the
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: other ones it was. That's great. Well, thank you Mollie
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: and Jeanette for coming on. It was great talking with
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: you girls and very interesting learning this aspect of pinning
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: versus the other ones that I've heard about. So thank
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: you both, very very much.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Thank you.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, you guys, have a great rest of your night,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: you too.
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: Bye bye.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: Hey Jack, Hey guys.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: So I'm so excited for you to be on this
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: one because I have not heard about what a pinning
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: is yet from a guy that was in a fraternity,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: so I'm excited to hear your take on it. So
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: tell us all what a pinning is and if you
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: ever pinned anyone of course.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: So I need to preface this by saying pinning, can
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: you mean a lot of different things at a lot
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: of different schools. Okay, at my school, a pinning is
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: when a guy and a girl who have been dating
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: for kind of a long time, like at least a year,
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: will have their own wedding, if you will. Maybe wedding
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: would be a better term for it. But the fraternity
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: and the sorority will all get together and celebrate these
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: two people's relationship. But there are some slight differences between
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: this event and an actual wedding.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, so what are so is it like a sarah
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: like a ceremony like this girl of pinherd? Does that
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: mean like like she's like your wife, like you want
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: to be with her for the rest of your life.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's definitely plays into it, But I think
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: it taps into some more raunchy parts of your guys
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: relationship rather than the romantic ones. Okay, of course you
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: celebrate like all of the your guys like romantic like
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: affections for each other. But the ceremony, maybe I can
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: just give a little explanation of what actually happens.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, give us, give us the whole rundown. What happens
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: when you're there.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: Right, So what happens is like any wedding, it'll start
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: with a bachelor and a bachelor atte party. So the
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: guy with all of his guy friends will go out,
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: have a couple of drinks, probably end up over serving themselves,
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: and especially make sure that whoever's getting married is blacked
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: out before you even get to the ceremony. And then
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: the same thing happens. The same thing happens with the girls.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: We'll do their bachelortte party. You'll like take a party
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: bus with all of your friends, go to a bar,
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: have a couple of drinks. Make sure that you're loose,
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: because after you're bouchering a better rupp party. Everyone will
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: meet up at the sorority house and you're joined by
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: like the rest of like your entire fraternity and sorority,
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: and you'll gather in the courtyard of the sorority and
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: then there's not really any speeches that go down at
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: the ceremony. Everyone, everyone in the fraternity sorority starts counting
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: up to one hundred and for those hundred seconds, whoever's
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: getting pinned is just making out in the middle of everyone.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: Oh my goodness, right in front of everyone.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: This is it's so funny because we've talked to a
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: few different people about what pinnings are, and like everyone
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: has a different take on it, So like do you
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: did you give a speech about her or anything, or
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: where you guys were just making out and then it
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: was like then you're pinned.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: That's kind of how it goes at our school. But
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: there's a little there's a little more romantic side to it,
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: like I wrote her a letter and then the whole
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: idea is that it's supposed to be a surprise for
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: the bride, if you will, so she won't know that
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: like her pinning's happening until a couple hours before.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, So like the other girls have it like set up,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: like the party busts and stuff.
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: Kind of.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they plan it all like without her knowing, and
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: they'll have an event on their social calendar that might
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: say something like really generic, just like something totally unexpecting,
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: but everyone knows that it's the pinning except for her,
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: or at least that's the idea. Of course, you know,
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: sometimes it'll get spoiled. But yeah, they trick her into
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: going to a dinner at their sorority because like when
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: you're a senior, maybe you don't go to your sorority
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: house as much. As you did when you were like
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: lesh and sophomore junior. So that's that. That's like step
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: one except two us. Once you get him there, one
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: of their close friends will read them the letter that
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: I wrote, or that the groom I wrote to his bride.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: So in that letter, you know, there's there's a couple
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: of sweet notes and then there's a couple there's a
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: couple of jokes, maybe some things that the bride would
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: would have rather preferred him keep to himself. But that's
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: the whole point of it.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: That's so sweet, and you're still with this girl, right
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I am? I am okay.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: And funny enough, her parents were dating when they were
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: in college. Her dad was in a fraternity and her
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: mom was in a sorority and they had piddings at
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: their school. It was a little different celebrate and we had.
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: But her dad refused to get pinned to her mom
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: because he didn't want to jinx the relationship.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: In no way. That's funny. Well, that's funny that they
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: like it was like a thing there too. But I
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: think we have your girl in the waiting room too,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: so I think we'll bring her in also, Oh please
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: do then we can get her side. Well, hey, team, okay,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: so now we have Jill in here with us. So
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: jail Jack was just telling me all about the pinnings
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: on like his side and how they all looked like. So,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I'm curious, did you know when you were gonna get
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: pinned that it happened, or that it was happening or no.
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: So I heard some rumors, but essentially kind of It's
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: supposed to be entirely a surprise.
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: But a lot of people wound up surprising me.
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: Right after I got back from a little movie night
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: at Jack's, came in and the entire apartment was decorated
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: with like a bunch of different hearts, and everybody else celebrated,
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: and then we went to our favorite frozen yogurt spot
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: in Los Angeles, so Jack and all the girls for
• 26:12
  Speaker 9: a little bachelorette party, And then I got some good sleep,
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: and it was the next day.
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: But it was totally a surprise and it was lots
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: of fun.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I love that, So were you, Like we heard about
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: the like making now in front of the whole sorority fraternity.
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: But I wish I could tell you all the details.
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: But to be quite frank, if anybody has to do
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: that you're not supposed to remember parts of it.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Say you were pretty tuned up, yeah.
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: But no, it was awesome. We were all in a
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: circle and thankfully there was another.
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: Couple that could steal the show with us, so they
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: were in the circle and we all counted to you
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: one hundred and I have video proof if you'd like
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: to see.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Did yes send in the video? Did a lot did
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: a lot of your friends get pinned?
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: I'd say so it was. It's a very fun tradition.
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: Like freshman year, I remember our first pinning and it's
• 27:10
  Speaker 9: just this crazy event. And by senior year it's normal
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: and some of your other friends are getting pinned too.
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: Funny enough, this tradition has actually been a thing for
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: a long time.
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: My grandparents were actually pinned. But back in the.
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: Day they pass their letters to the girl, so like
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: they get a little pin of letters.
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: But by senior year, a lot of our friends to
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: get pinned. So it's super cool.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: So did you like, did you call your grandparents and
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: were you like I got pinned?
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: They?
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: Essentially I think it was very different.
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: Truly, theirs is a super cute little pin passing.
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, a dance around. It was very wholesome. However, nowadays
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: it's a lot different.
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: You know, I was on back shoulders, we signed a beam,
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: we kissed for one hundred seconds.
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: It's a lot different, but it's definitely definitely a party.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like a great time. Honestly, maybe I
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: think they should do pinnings everywhere if they're that fun.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: And how long have you guys been together?
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: Just under a year and a half.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: I love that. Well, congrats to you guys. I hope
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: you're pinning last forever. This is a great spot to pause.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: We had so many callers that called in, and I
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: definitely want to get to more. So we'll be back
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: with more on Dirty Rush.
