It’s All Greek to Me: How You Know It’s Rush Week

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Stanford chapter.

You Know It’s Rush Week When…

1. Tinsel, tinsel, everywhere.

2. Everyone’s cover photos are suddenly pictures of them and their sisters.
Subtle recruitment tactics commence!
3. Your sorority friend is now friends with 50+ people.
Expect your newsfeed to be cluttered with new friend notifications as all of the new members friend each other on Facebook.
4. The requisite Stanford apparel has been replaced by Greek letters.
Catch the PHI-VER.  I’ve got 99 problems, but a bid ain’t one.  Look out for all of the clever T-shirts that will be sported around campus this week.
5. Your girl friends have mysteriously disappeared.
Blame Open House, Skit Night, Philanthropy Night, Pref Night, Bid Night, and Unofficial Bid Night for the seeming absence of the Stanford female population.
