Some fraternity member on the U of Arkansas newspaper staff wrote an article back in the day saying that he thought it'd be fun if all the departments had rush for choosing your major.
He pictured rush in the English Department, claiming that as you walked down the department halls, all the faculty members would be chanting, "HEY HEY HEY HEY" and then they'd break into, "Drink beer! Drink beer! Drink beer, gadzooks, drink beer! I won't drink beer with any old man who won't drink beer with a medieval lit man, go to hell! Oddsbodkins!" Then there would be dirty rush: "no, you don't want to pledge Ag, they're a bunch of nerds," etc.
For weeks, every Greek on campus made up versions of how his or her own department would rush-- with the cheers they'd do, how they'd dirty rush, and so on.
