There comes a time every semester when the men and women of the University begin a very special tradition.
It is at this time when women are found in groups, chanting and screaming through the halls of buildings on campus. Big rocks on campus seem to be magically painted overnight, sporting new Greek letters all over. And the words “big,” “grand-big” and “little” are thrown around in normal conversations all over the place.
All of these actions are just better representations of their allegiance in their Greek organization. This week, the men of the campus started their rituals, and starting Tuesday, Sept. 7, the women will find themselves doing the same.
Claire Baily, vice president of recruitment of Pan-Hellenic, said they are expecting big numbers for this year, as they usually see between 300-350 girls rush sororities. For sororities, kickoff is Tuesday, Sept. 7, and Recruitment will be Sept. 9-12.
Below is a list of every organization found on campus that 23 percent of University students find themselves apart of, said Christine Talbert, vice president of communications for Delta Gamma.
