Women rush frats

Lisa Conathan and Rachel Roisman '96 paid a visit to four different fraternities last night, joining hordes of males for the first night of fraternity rush.

The two women -- dressed in jackets and ties -- visited Beta Theta Pi, Chi Gamma Epsilon, Sigma Nu and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternities last night.

"I did it because I was interested in what rush was about and what it was like," Conathan said. "In general it went pretty well."

Conathan said she and Roisman encountered hostility only at Chi Gam, where the two were ejected. Chi Gam brothers declined to comment last night.

Conathan said she does not know if she would accept a bid from any of the fraternities the two rushed.

"I'll have to see if I get offered a bid," she said.
