Dirty Rush...
Hey guys, We have a bit of a dilemna here on campus regarding the rush policies of a group trying to colonize. Before I describe what's going on I should tell you how close-knit our greek system is. I'm sure some of you may remember that I stated our greek community is immature (approximately ten years old) and that greeks comprise only 1% of the student body.
So there's this new group represented by brothers of a newly chartered fraternity that are here scoping out the campus as a possible colony. At first they began meeting us (all the groups on campus) and basically asking questions about how receptive we are to new groups...
For whatever reason their rush policies have taken a much more aggressive manner. Everyother guy that walks into the campus bar is harrassed by these guys, to the extent that the employees of the bar are threatening to kick these guys out. The problem with this negative PR hurts all the other groups, these poor bastards just looking to grab a beer will then profile this group's image to the rest of us.
These guys have really pissed off all the other groups on campus (we're new so they probably aren't aware of us). For example, they'll go to one of the sororities and bash the other two established fraternities....get this, they even went to an event (hosted at the house) of the largest fraternity with their letters on and rushed half the brothers of this chapter!
This is just too funny, I just realized about this "dirty rush" tonight at the IFSC (Inter-Fraternal-Sorority-Council) meeting. It's really frustrating for us because we're finally all working together to achieve better rush and campus recognition and this group comes out of nowhere with the potential to disrupt our goals.
If anyone has experienced something similar to this or may just have any valid opinions, i'm all ears...
Fraternally grateful,
Nick.
