Women's Studies & Sororities
Hi Everyone!
I will be a freshman at Tulane University in the fall (I was all set to go to LSU-thus the username-until I got a scholarship at the last minute). Tulane has deferred rush, and, from what I've heard, rush seems to be MUCH more laid back than rush at LSU or Ole Miss. To get to the point, I just found out that I accepted into the women's studies program. Although the women's studies program at Tulane is much more moderate than most, I was curious as to how southern sororities reacted to such programs.
My mother and grandmother (and practically every other female relative since the Civil War) were Phi Mus at Louisiana Tech. They automatically assumed that I wouldn't rush because of women's studies (and the extremist reputation some of these programs have acquired over the years), but I don't necessarily see the two as mutually exclusive. What has been your experience on other campuses?
Also, I would love to hear from anyone who has experience with deferred rush in the south.
Thanks so much.
Claire
