Held before the beginning of Fall Quarter each year. Rush is approxiamateiy one u eek of membership selection for eigh- teen soroities on Georgia ' s campus. Be- ginning months in advance, the Rush pro- cess involves much organization and preparation. The enthusiasm of all of the sisters becomes concentrated into the fi- nal week before Rush, more specifically. Spirit Week. The week of Rush is divided into rounds, and parties. Round One clearly exemplifies the meaning of Rush. These parties, more commonly knov n as ice- water teas, la.st only thirty minutes and provide the rushee a brief opportunity to meet the sisters. The Second Round usu- ally consists of some form o ' entertain- ment lorlherushees. Whetherit be a fiight on Delta Airlines, a picinc in the backyard, or an adventure on a Pirate Ship, the rush- ees are able to see the casual and creative perst)nalities of each house. More per- sonal and extensive comnuinicalion be- tween the sisters and the rushees occurs during Third Round. A house tour is usually given: both (he sisters and rushees iiuisi become selective in their choices. The final day o ' Rush is Prelerentials. more commonlv known as Prefs. The mood is serious and emotional as the Greek u nmen rev eal the strong characteristics of iheir sisterhood. The culmination of the incretlible yet strenuous week is Bid Day. W ilh an invitation in hand, rushees ven- ture to their new Greek homes and cel- ebrate during the nighttime festivities. Georgia ' s Rush is a long process, but it is necessary to uphold sorority member- ship . Rush strengthens the bonds of true sisterhood and allows for hearts and arms toevpaml in the acceptance of new Greek women. 234 RUSH
