This is an article about sorority girls and friendship. But I offer no frills, fabrication, or high-pitched enthusiasm.
What I learned from going through rush at an SEC school is that relationships between college-aged girls are very complex. What matters most to many is not what the average student would perhaps like to say to a crowd of mature, rational adults. College is its own unique society and with that comes conflicting perspectives on what is right and wrong.
This sort of community has the potential to bring out the best or the absolute worst in a person. It can be difficult to maintain a perfect track record of good decision-making as a young adult after being thrown into a world virtually run by adolescents. At times, it can resemble a cruel psychological experiment measuring how naïve students will act when placed in situations that are not indicative of “real life.” Rush and sorority life are perfect examples of this.
Now that all female students involved in Greek Life here at Ole Miss have maneuvered their way through the tedious and sometimes emotionally draining process of rush, nobody should regret where they landed. Regardless of which sorority they had the privilege of joining, the potential is there to find the sort of friends worth searching for.
