This is kind of interesting because I don't really understand sorority rush these days.

My wife got three bids, and didn't accept any of them because of her mother -- but that's a different story. And thirty five years ago.

As I understand it, the term "rush" comes from years ago when fraternity and sorority members would stand at the train station, and when new freshmen got off the train, the Greeks would "rush" them to try to get as many as possible to join their organization.

I read that somewhere, but suppose it could be another of those famous urban legends.

I'll try to figure out where I read it.
