Rush week
含义: The recruitment period when fraternities and sororities invite potential new members to events.
Rush week is the intense recruitment period at the start of each semester when Greek organizations try to attract new members. Potential pledges attend parties, dinners, and events at different fraternity or sorority houses. 'Are you rushing?' is the standard question for freshmen. Rush can be exciting, stressful, and emotionally charged — getting a 'bid' (invitation to join) is celebrated, while being 'dropped' (not selected) stings. Sorority rush on some campuses has become a TikTok phenomenon.
