Rush is a huge deal for freshmen, but it's like you must be a loser if you're still relying on your sorority as an upperclassman. The attitude was, don't you have anything better to do? You're dressing up to go to a MIXER? To a large extent, this applied to the "cool" sororities too.
This didn't apply to fraternities; it was considered legit for guys to be living in the house as seniors, etc.

That is really sad. Some people have the misconception that your sorority is not for life, but just for the four years you're in college... now some folks are cutting that down to two? Your initiation oath kind of rings hollow if you plan on deaffiliating in less than two years.
