Rush Is Phony

There is no question that rush
does not allow students to find out
what a fraternity house is like.
Rush is superficial and phony in the
worst sense. Most brothers attempt
to picture fraternity life as one big
party when it isn't. This is not
really the fault of the brothers.
First meetings usually only allow
for superficial talk and fraternities
need freshmen more than most
freshmen need fraternities.

Because of this situation in rush,
it is up to the freshmen to discover
what the fraternity houses are
really like. Probe, question, and be
critical. Decide for yourselves.
