Welcome to Dirty Rush, the truth about sorority life with your host, me, Gia Judice, Daisy Kent, and Jennifer Fessler. This is part two of Dirty Rush, and of course we're in the Sprinter Band. We just left Bottle Rock, and we need to do some follow-up, right, guys?
Starting point is 00:02:25 Absolutely. Okay, so we didn't finish up our, we had a lot of questions yesterday, and so today we're going to do a rapid fire. We're going to say the name of each sorority, and we're going to get just one word answers of what you think about those sororities. So you guys ready? Yeah. Okay, we're going to start with my sorority. DG. Delta Gamma. One more girls. Drunk. Oh. Party girls. Uh-huh. Touse. Okay. Yeah, just crazy. Crazy gals. Okay. Dumb blondes. That's true. How about you? I was going to say crazy, but Maddie's
Starting point is 00:03:00 stole it. Okay. All right. Um, next one is Kappa. Oh, I would say classy. Oh, different at my school. Really? Slutty. Ooh. Right. So, wow. I would say culty. Oh. Yeah, culty, I would say. Okay. How about KD? Oh, no, I slide. I'm sorry. Theta is the next one. Smart. Um, yeah, definitely like, the nerdy, nerdy or girls. No, and like a bad way. Oh, wait, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. No. Oh. Different at Maryland. They were classy.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Yeah. They were kind of nice girls. Kind of nice girls, too. I preference, Theta. Like top, well, I was Theta. Top in grades, like, kind of smart, like, not in the party scene as much. Yeah. Girls, classy girls, I guess.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Because it's kind of same in Maryland. They were kind of nice girls. That's awesome. Okay, I don't remember them. They're great house nationally. Okay, just. How about Kyle? Really sweet.
Starting point is 00:03:57 That was the second house I was considering. I just felt like they were. very genuine. Yeah. I'd say down to earth too. Psychotic. Oh. Oh. It's also crazy because we go to the same school. So now I'm curious what your question is. Have you not heard any Kyo stories from our school? Spell. I only heard of the story of the man who snuck in and stole someone's underwear. Oh, that's creepy. Yeah, Berkeley Kyo is another story. Kailan, what do you think? I've never heard of the sorority in my life. Kyo. We didn't have kio. I heard of them. They're, there are a
Starting point is 00:04:30 big sorority, but we didn't have it at Maryland. So, okay, how about KD? Did not, I have no. Are you, you were Katie? No. Zeta. You were Theta. Zeta, Zeta.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Oh, Zeta. Okay, yeah, yeah. When I think of Katie, I think Southern. I feel like all the Southern schools have KD, and we didn't have it, but we added a new house on my senior year, and it was KD, so it was a brand new sorority. And I think it just came on because I was at a Southern school, and they seemed to be all over down there. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:59 We don't have Katie West Coast schools, so not sure. Same. I don't know any. Is Katie this? That's DG. That's me. I don't know what Katie is. We had Katie and they were all really pretty.
Starting point is 00:05:14 They were like the prettiest sorority. Wow. Yeah, yeah. And it was big. It was probably the biggest sorority at Maryland. How about Alpha Phi? At our school, they're called Alpha. What are they batty?
Starting point is 00:05:27 Instabatties, Alpha baddies. Like they're just known for just like, mogging and that's kind of it. For what? Define mogging. Things super beautiful. Oh. And that's what they bring to the table.
Starting point is 00:05:39 They're beautiful looks. Not the worst. We didn't have A-Fee, but my mom was in A-Fee, and she's an angel, so angels. I would say boss lady. At our school, they run, like, all of the student government. It's kind of cult-y, but they definitely look good while they do it. Yeah, more like the popular girls, I feel like it's always like. Wait, this is so different from my school because I think they, like, did not talk to anyone,
Starting point is 00:06:04 and they were very intellectual. So at Maryland, I kind of feel like they're, like, kind of forgettable. Like, I don't remember anything you're super distinct about any alpha fees. They were, like, nice girls. They were, their houses right behind ours. Like, we didn't have, I feel like the houses where the girls were, like, really pretty or, like, had, like, a reputation we kind of had, like, a little rivalry with. Nobody had a rivalry with alpha fee.
Starting point is 00:06:27 They were just kind of indescript, nondescript. I feel like AlphaPhee is a West Coast thing because I hear of it a lot in California schools and then also like Arizona school Okay, so Midwest or Western school Yeah, I do feel like a lot of the stereotypes are regional, which is interesting
Starting point is 00:06:45 It's really good. It sounds certainly very distinct in Southern schools Texas. But it's regional to like the South or the West Coast or the East Coast. It's interesting. Yeah, I totally agree. Okay, how about Pi-Fi?
Starting point is 00:06:58 Pi-fi, also really nice girls. just like kind of honestly very well-rounded. Yeah. Very kind, very beautiful, very smart. Also beautiful house. Mm-hmm. Yeah. At my school, a cliquekey.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Just did not want to associate with anyone else. Not in like an introverted way, but more so in a like, oh, you're not a pot-fi. Like you're not cool enough to associate. Very clicky. I would say the funny girls at our school, they're very much like the funny girls everyone, like, I was going to say similar to you, Lauren, like kind of like big-headed. They kind of like think very highly of themselves. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:39 And maybe competitive too. I think there's too many sororities. I thought they were like five. I don't know what happens. You should. You were really into sororities. Yeah, it's really good. I could tell.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Caleb love the sorority life. I could tell. I don't think we had pie-fi. So like how about tried out? Triedell is always just like bold person. personality, fun, outgoing girls, in my opinion. Mm-hmm. We have Tridal?
Starting point is 00:08:06 Oh, God. Oh, no. I didn't even know we had one. No. I think it was quite, yeah, I don't know. They're, well, like, West Coast schools, Tritelt's not very prominent. So I'd say it's like mid-tier. I don't think I've ever really talked to anyone that was in Tridout,
Starting point is 00:08:24 not because I didn't want to, but maybe because I haven't seen them around. But that says anything in and of itself. So ours like our school is literally the only West Coast school where tried out is actually a really good sorority. I wasn't tried out. But also it, it was a good sorority. So I'm a little bit biased. But. Do you're tried out?
Starting point is 00:08:46 Yeah, I'm a tried out. We were very, I would say we're very into our philanthropy because it's St. Jude. So it's like, you know, we do, we do all of like, that's our main huge thing. So yeah. Did you guys have tried out? Um, I said last night we had tried out, but it was tri-s. sick. So no, we didn't. But I almost went to Alabama and I think their Tri-Sigma was really good. Was it a good sorority? Yeah, and it was like when I wanted to rush. Triedale at Maryland was a huge
Starting point is 00:09:10 sorority and they were, so I was in college in the 80s and it was super preppy. Like they were like really nice girls. They dressed really nice. They were nice to everybody. My brother was in fact engaged to Tried out for a while. Yeah, right after college. So I like trydouts. Zeta. I plead the Fed. Yeah, we have one. That's all I know. Super memorable. Where you know that you have to go, but you're just waiting for that round to be over and then you drop it.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Oh, you had to rush it no matter what. You had to show up. Brutal. I was lucky enough to make it to like the third round there, so I was pretty proud. Thank you. Thank you. Wow. Literally the only thing that comes into my mind or at least the first thing when someone says Zeta is Lambers because at our school they all called themselves slammers.
Starting point is 00:10:07 What is a lammer? Zlammer. So like Z-L-A-M-E-R. Because they would say Zlam, like Zeta Love and Mine. That's what it stands for. Oh, I'm like so out of it. And so they called themselves slammers and they would go around and they'd be like, Slammers, where's all my slammers at?
Starting point is 00:10:24 And it was just like a bit intense. I don't know them. Only the basket crowned, obviously. There have so many sayings. Which is fun if you're in it, but when you're on the outside of it, I was like, what's going on here? Yeah. We didn't have Zeta at my school, but I have two friends that were in Zeta at a different school. And they're so cute and very smart.
Starting point is 00:10:45 So I think, yeah, it just differs. It differs. Yeah. Caitlin, did you guys call yourself as Lamar? I know. Did you call yourself as a Lamber or no? I only lasted one semester and I got kicked out. But.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Why didn't you have to tell us the kicked out story? Well, I just didn't show up to chapter. Chapter. Yeah. So they kicked me out. And I didn't, yeah, I hated it. It was my fourth choice. I just kept getting dropped.
Starting point is 00:11:09 You? I was promiscuous and hooking up with men from other. Oh, the president of the sororities, boyfriends. Yeah. And it's never, that never works good during rush. So I got my fourth choice and not my favorite. And you didn't care about it. We didn't have Zeta, so I'm out on that one.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Okay, Sigma Kappa. Oh, I love SK. They have a very, very beautiful house at our school. Really, really kind girls. One of my best friends from high school is in that house. I've always just had really, like, very warm impressions. Like, you walk away from a conversation with an SK, and it's like, oh, she's a sweetheart. Yeah, that's like our tried outs. Yeah. Agree, sweethearts. Both of my sisters, my real sisters, are SKs. Oh. I feel like I don't really know much. I don't have anything to say.
Starting point is 00:11:58 They were kind of like our rival sorority at my school So it was like kind of the two of us Budding heads so I don't know I would say They weren't always the nicest But maybe we just didn't get good impressions of them Because maybe because they were your rival sorority Yeah it was just kind of like oh
Starting point is 00:12:25 I feel like if you're like everybody's rival sorority Is kind of like them and you just don't want to face it Yeah totally yeah maybe Yeah. It's like, yeah, it's odd. How about you? None for me. You didn't have Sigma Kappa? No. I think we did, but I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:12:41 But again, guys, it was in the 80s. So you gotta give me a break on that one. Sorry. We'll give you a pass. A little too relaxed during yoga? That's embarrassing. You know what's not? Debt. Consolidate your debt with a loan from FIG.
Starting point is 00:13:02 No early repayment fees and low interest rates so you can pay off your debt faster. Borrow better with FIG. Number one hits, millions of records sold, awards, sold out tours. You think that Jonas Brothers are satisfied? Nope, it's podcast time.

I am an unlicensed lizard therapist who takes phone calls from real anonymous humans about their problems, such as this.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Sometimes I'll have my girlfriend pre-chew, spicy food, and kind of baby birded it into my mouth. Is that weird? Or this. I had my boyfriend over, and I had dirty dishes everywhere, and I put the dirty dishes in our closet so he wouldn't see them.

And she went to Purdue, which I think isn't a huge sorority school. But they had a really wonderful sorority. Very academic.
Starting point is 00:15:31 They have the highest honor roll. I think highest percentage of students with a 4.0 in their house. Wow. Smart girls. Very like work hard, play hard. At my school, it was just an eclectic bunch. It was just kind of the most random assortment of people, all nice girls, but it was kind of a sorority that I looked at and I was like, how is this cohesive?
Starting point is 00:15:55 Like, how is this a friend group? Like, this is just so interesting. How did you all end up in this house? I'd say they were all like the least similar to each other, whereas in many sororities, I think everyone's very similar copy and paste. But they were an eclectic group of girls, all very nice. I feel like just Southern Bells. We don't have it as far as I know on the West Coast,
Starting point is 00:16:15 but definitely from what I know, Southern Bell. I don't know. I don't know any Fiamu, so I can't say. Okay, I have a FIMEU story. That was my second choice. My roommate was a FIMEU. She committed Czech fraud and tried to steal $10,000 for my mom. What?
Starting point is 00:16:32 No! For me a mom? That's crazy. And during finals week, so the Wi-Fi router was in my room and she breaks into my room, changes the Wi-Fi password so I can't study during finals week. Like, no. That is my perception of a FIMEU. That is crazy. It was horrible. And my, like the FBI, I think it was $9,900 because the FBI won't get involved unless it's $10,000. So it was pretty crazy. That is, she was an evil person. She was crazy. Did she get kicked out of
Starting point is 00:17:06 the school? God, no. No, no, she was totally fine. And then one night, I like went on a date, we got Ben and Jerry's. I'm a broke college student. That's expensive. Yeah. And it's in the freezer. And I'm like, where's my Ben and Jerry? She's sitting on the couch eating it. And she goes, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm like, I'm looking at you. That's all I think of a fine meal.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Oh, my God. You got rid of her as a roommate, right? Yes. Okay. That's crazy. As much as I think they're academic, I do think the fraud reputation might be running couple houses because I've also heard a story of the treasure. of my sister's five-mew stealing $200,000 from the national honors of her sorority.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Another five-mew? Another five-mew. Wrote herself checks. Bought her boyfriend an F-150 truck. Yeah. Wow. And I think used it for like her own personal services, like getting her hair done, getting her nails done the entire time she was one of like on exec.
Starting point is 00:18:07 And obviously ended up getting caught. And it's, yeah, I think it's a felony. So she's actually a felon. So, yeah. Oh, my God. Okay, that's crazy. Okay, how about gamify? We didn't have it.
Starting point is 00:18:25 So down to earth. I love the gamifyes. One of my best friends is to gamify. And just, like, chill girls. CC, you want to take this one? I would say this is probably the, smallest and most least desirable house at the school that we go to. Oh goodness. No hate, but they are kind of a yikyak meme and I feel bad for them because they don't really deserve it,
Starting point is 00:18:52 but they're they're I've never had a bad interaction. But yeah, Joan, do you know yikyak? What's that? Do you know what yikyak is? No, I have no idea. So it's this app where you can anonymously post things about your college and everybody reads it and so people will tell crazy stories and a lot of times it's all about Greek life. And so anonymously, people will like clown on other sororities or just like tell insane spread rumors, all the things. And are they usually true or now? I would say they're usually dramatized. Is that how you say it's like it has an element of truth but it's like a blown out of aeration. Totally blown up. But anyways, that's what Cece was saying. They're kind of a joke on yikyak,
Starting point is 00:19:35 I guess. Yikyak was a, oh. Wake up girl. But we actually didn't have that sorority at her school, so I'm not entirely sure. I mean, it was kind of a small. We only had like six sororities, maybe. Oh, wow. How about GammaFi? Did you have it, Kaylin? No.
Starting point is 00:19:56 No. We didn't have Gamma Phi. But we did, the next one is Alpha Chi Omega, and that came right when I was leaving. So I don't know anything about it, but it's a big sorority now. Honestly, no strong impressions. I don't actually know anybody in A. Kaya at my school. but I do remember they had a really nice house. Kind of same here, no strong impression.
Starting point is 00:20:16 I didn't really know any of them. Didn't know much. Yeah. Unremarkable. We also didn't have them at my school. Yeah, yeah. I did have them at mine. I think they were like all destined to be senators.
Starting point is 00:20:32 And so they were just doing this to be to like add to their resume, you know? Is that right? Yeah. Destined to be senators. I love that. I want to be that sorority. I know. Me too.
Starting point is 00:20:42 They wouldn't have had me, but okay. Okay, last one, guys. I can't believe that is a long list, first of all. Delta Zeta. No, I have no idea. No, I don't either. We didn't have it either. We didn't have it, but I'm assuming it's a southern thing. I know a lot of girls that I know they go to Arizona schools. That's like a big deal house. That's like top of the top house to get into. But anywhere else, I don't think I've ever heard of it.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Yeah, same Lauren. Like, they didn't have it at our school, but some West Coast schools. like it's huge so nothing for me yeah no you don't have it either okay so how accurate do you think these stereotypes are i think it's important yeah i think the regional like focus is important because it definitely changes depending on like if you're on the west coast east coast midwest there's that like a very strong southern element to sorority life that just doesn't exist or carry over when you live on the west coast so that's definitely important to to consider especially if you're wanting to join a sorority don't always follow the reputations of someone from a school that might not be in the same state you're going to me. Very true. I would agree with that 100%. I think region plays a huge role in it.
Starting point is 00:21:54 And like you can't believe the stereotypes because it just varies so much school by school region by region. I also think that size of the sorority matters a lot because it's so hard to stereotype a pledge class of 100 girls versus a sorority that only has 30. And so it really depends on like, the numbers as well because there can be so many girls in a sorority. It can be a really big house and it's like they're the smart house, but like there's always going to be girls who are struggling with their grades or they're the cool girls and there's always going to be girls that are like maybe not as nice or whatever. So I don't know. I feel like it's really hard to stereotype and I feel like they can never be truly accurate. And even like every recruitment cycle,
Starting point is 00:22:39 I feel like if you get a one-off bad PC or something happens, like there's always weird flukes in primary recruitment. And so I feel like even if you do know the reputation of a sorority in your school, it can change at literally the drop of a hat based off of all of the behavior of the new PC. That's a good point. It's interesting too. Like, I mean, depending on how big your school was, kind of like Lauren, you were saying, just like you can't really judge like one PC that has 100 versus like 30 girls.
Starting point is 00:23:13 But it really is interesting to think about like how these different schools got these different stereotypes for these sororities. Like why is they different at my school versus like your guys's school? So it is kind of weird to think about that like the origin of each like sorority at the school. So yeah, I don't know. Again, it's, yeah, you can't really follow stereotypes because it's different everywhere. What do you think? I wonder how much it's going to change because Gen Z values such different things than we do.
Starting point is 00:23:43 So like the like quote unquote uncool or whatever you want to call it like sorority, I think is going to be the coolest sorority and like the one that everyone wants to be. I think millennials and Gen Z just have such a different perspective or they're not rushing period. But I'm interested to see how it shifts. So I kind of feel the same way that you do. I feel like they evolve over time. So, like, I was a Delta Gamma at Maryland, and, like, it was a, like, kind of dumb blonde sorority. And I just went back. They invited me back to do, like, a little presentation, like, kind of a little speech for Founders Day.
Starting point is 00:24:17 And they were the smartest girls. They all, they had the best GPA. I only got into that sorority. I wasn't, like, nearly cool enough to be in that sorority. But I had a good GPA, and they were on academic probation when I was there. And now, like, they're the smartest sorority on the campus. So they evolve over time a lot. So I think, you know, you might.
Starting point is 00:24:34 be in an evolution period and I kind of feel like you should really give sororities a chance like you might find your posse in a sorority that you wouldn't think that may have been great for you I absolutely agree yeah I really think it's so important to keep an open mind and honestly to like take in the least amount of noise about sororities that you can especially before rush because it just it can influence you so easily away from a group of girls something that would been great for you. Sounds cheesy, but like, that could be your home, you know. I know. You never know. I preference Theta and I, there's a part of me that everyone small thinks maybe that would have been a better match to me.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I loved my DG experience, but I feel like Theta may have been like girls that were a little more like me. I feel like a lot of people have similar experiences, but aren't as willing to admit that. Yeah. Because they want to just be die hard for their sorority. But there's always that what if when you're talking about two houses, like maybe you preference one, you get another. what could have been or even if you did preference to your sorority it's like what would have happened if they dropped me and I got my second choice
Starting point is 00:25:39 I don't know it's interesting to think about I had that it was my first choice but I looked back and like I wanted to be like popular and I was kind of nerdy so I went for the house that maybe the girls were more popular and I probably would have fit in better with the girls that were like a little less popular and a little more like me
Starting point is 00:25:55 Renno Mishap that's embarrassing you know what's not embarrassing Using FIG for Home Improvement Loan. A quick, simple, and transparent offer in minutes. Borrow Better with FIG. Visit fig.ca. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news.
Starting point is 00:26:21 What's the news, Nick? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there.
Starting point is 00:26:34 But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name? name Hey Jonas, guys. I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes.
Starting point is 00:26:55 I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. On Humor Me with Robert Smygel and Friends,

Starting point is 00:28:13 If you're the kind of person that would enjoy being a fly on the wall of a stranger's therapy session, or if you pass people on the street and constantly wonder what might be going on in their heads, this is the podcast for you. This week on Therapy Gecko, we're hearing all real, authentic human stories about anything from relationships to family drama to serendipitous encounters with unexpected people. people and things. If real people pique your interest, listen to Therapy Gecko on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, so I think that we should kind of wrap this up, and I think, like, going out of this,
Starting point is 00:28:58 I love that we have, like, some good perspective. So what kind of advice would you give girls going into Rush? I think to follow on Lauren's note, I would say when you're going into it, for freshmen, at least, I've heard a lot of girls have really podcast. positive experiences if they're rushing, like, and they have roommates to not share what houses they are liking throughout the process, because it can sway your opinion and kind of lead you astray. And it might also make you feel like you need to join the house with the two girls who already know at school rather than taking the leap and joining a house that might be something that's a better fit for you than your friends. And then my other advice, I think, would be just
Starting point is 00:29:37 to keep a really open, positive opinion and be excited to talk to people. people, be eager to meet new friends and to kind of like work on your elevator pitch a bit, but just keep it natural. It doesn't need to feel like it's an interview, but it is an opportunity to learn a lot about yourself. I would say the best advice that I ever got and gave later on after going through recruitment is to watch how the girls are interacting with each other when you're not watching. Like watch how they interact with each other when they're sitting on the ground and they're singing or they're standing in the line. Like, do they genuinely look like they like each other?
Starting point is 00:30:17 I feel like that's a huge thing. And you can really read through like how performative recruitment can be if you're really paying attention. So that's a huge thing. And then another thing is, is on pref night, like look around in the party that you're in. Like those girls would be your pledge class. So if you look around and you like the girls and I mean, you like what you see, then maybe that's a sign that could be for you.
Starting point is 00:30:39 But if you're looking around and you know some of the girls and maybe they're not your cup of three. and you're between two houses that you that you love, maybe that's a sign that maybe you should choose the house where you can see yourself and the PCs more what you're into. Yeah, and I think too, like if you're going to a smaller school where maybe there's only like six sororities like I went to, I feel like I've kind of noticed, like while I was answering these questions,
Starting point is 00:31:06 the stereotypes are maybe even like, they're even more evident. because it's like, well, this sorority's that and this sorority is that and there's really no in between. So I don't know. Maybe if you go to a smaller school, like trying to break those norms and being like, well, one sorority doesn't have to be like top house or one sorority doesn't have to be, you know, just smart and stuff like that. And just kind of really getting to know the girls versus the thing that really just dictates them to the rest of the school. Kaelin? I would say like let go of the like.
Starting point is 00:31:42 notions of each sorority and like whoever it's like the cool sorority the second tier sorority whatever it is like the rankings of it all and just like whoever you connect with because it's going to make like the most of your college experience yeah I totally agree I feel like it's a two-way street like I felt when like when I was rushing like I needed to impress them and I needed to show my best self and I didn't do a really good job probably of interviewing them the same way that they were kind of looking at me so to realize it's a two-way street to make sure you're asking important questions about like this is a really loud bus sorry if you're hearing all that background noise so like interview them like make sure that I was I needed to study I was
Starting point is 00:32:22 a computer science major make sure that they make like make sure that you have time to study and it's not all about partying or if you like want to be a partier then that's the right authority so I think that you have to it's a two-way street you have to remember that I kind of learned that a little bit on Bachelor too like it's a two-way street I wanted to like make all the men like me but then I needed to learn about them.
