The rush is over

Sorority rush ended officially Saturday with Preferentials, when women visit the houses they are seriously considering pledging.

"We really lucked out with the weather," said Inter-Sorority Council President Margaret Dumas. "Nothing had to be delayed or postponed."

Dumas estimated about 800 women participated in rush activities this year.

Although first-year College student Emily Chin said she did not plan to pledge, she participated in rush and attended Preferentials at Phi Mu and Alpha Delta Pi Saturday.

"We just talked some more and got to know the sisters more and each of the houses had ceremonies," Chin said. "It's a good experience."

All University students are required to live on Grounds in their first year, but they have many on and off-Grounds housing options going into their second year. Students face immense pressure to decide on housing as soon as possible, and this high demand has strained the capacities of both on and off-Grounds accommodations. Lauren Seeliger and Brandon Kile, two third-year Cavalier Daily News writers, discuss the impact of the student housing frenzy on both University students and the Charlottesville community.
