I'm not sure why most women go through Rush, but I know why I did. I wanted to make friends outside of my Freshman hall and the Crew Team. I wanted more female friends. Social acceptance wasn't that important, but maybe it would have been more important if my Rush had not been in February. I didn't Rush with any of my college friends, so it wasn't peer pressure. Also, I really wanted some commonalities with friends from home, who had all rushed their first semesters, and had these amazing bonds. It's just something that's EXPECTED of women where I live.
