For many Dartmouth sophomores, rush constitutes one of the most stressful social experiences of their young lives.
You know you're taking rush too seriously when Your roommate complains that when you sleep talk, you recite the entire Greek alphabet backwards. You consult your psychic and/or tarot card reader between rounds.
"It's funny. A year ago, I came here loathing the whole [sorority] system," a '14 female confessed, smirking a little as she looked out at the suddenly ubiquitous Greek letters adorning what seemed like every available article of clothing on Collis porch.
Here's some advice for those who don't know exactly what they're doing on a campus full of people who seem to.

Hello, Dartmouth: welcome back to another excellent term at the College on the Hill. Now that I'm a senior, I feel that I am finally qualified to predict trends in campus behavior, in addition to trends in all things techy.
Fall term at Dartmouth always means several things: leaf peepers, a new worst class ever and pledge term entertainment.

Facetime is like sex: everybody wants it, but nobody wants to talk about it at least in polite company.
I had my first encounter with Bored@Baker this past Winter term when I pledged a sorority. My friend informed me that she had discovered a post that mentioned my name, and I worried for a quick second that someone had found my poorly advised ARK Music Factory video and it had gone viral (just kidding, obviously I had already sold the rights to a huge record label). Unfortunately, I had not found YouTube stardom instead, the post went something along the lines of, "I can't believe [sorority A] let [sorority B] steal one of their Yangs!" Aside from that time that my friend took pictures of me doing a line of coke off of a hooker's torso in central Argentina and posted them on Facebook (hi future employers, I hope you've picked up on my humor by this point), this was probably the first time that I felt like I had received unwanted facetime. And I didn't do anything to deserve it, other than pledge the sorority where I felt most comfortable.
Remember when Facebook used to count the number of posts on your wall? Don't pretend I know you remember.
