Women's rush is due to begin this afternoon. It is a not only a grueling process that will consume the lives of many women on campus until Sunday evening or later, but also a phenomenon that exposes the Greek system's serious flaws deficiencies that damage our school's social and academic integrity. For sophomore women, rush is advertised as a "good experience," a "chance to meet new people." These women are encouraged to "keep an open mind" about the Greek system. Underneath this veneer of positivity, however, lies grim truths about how our social scene stratifies communities and fails to examine the harm it inflicts upon others. While I have never participated in rush, each year I have been increasingly appalled at the practices involved and how little we do to make it a kinder, more inclusive and introspective system.
