So fraternity rush is more like real life?

When you go for a job interview, do you have 30 minutes to impress them, or three weeks? Right, 30 minutes, and if you're lucky you're invited back to the next round of interviews.

Do companies just offer jobs to any qualified folks that come along? Nope, they only have so many openings.

Can you wear your dirty old jeans and ballcap to that interview? No way. You'd better be dressed up and looking spiffy.

I'm playing devil's advocate here, but my point is that you're never going to have to do anything that's really like rush, be it formal or informal, men's or women's, ever again once you graduate. It's an artificial system, as any system will be. I guess we could abolish rush altogether, and give bids to nice people we happened to meet, but I bet a lot of groups would be folding fast without some system.

So while you might not like the system, I think it's just silly to say that either system is just like real life. There are a lot more meaningful and legitimate criticisms that could be made.
