Their advantage, she said, has been due to the fact that they are able to go to the rush parties given here during the summer while the out-state girls have been handicapped by distance. Five days is ample time for this mshee to select the sorority to which she will owe loyalty the rest of her life. Desire to know sororities better The seven who favored summer rushing all gave as one of the reasons that this method would have given them more of an op portunity to know the members of each sorority.
