Don't rush to judgment: a take on sororities
In the aftermath of bicker, I find myself reflecting on how socially tumultuous sophomore year is for Princetonians. This is particularly true for many Princeton women who go through Greek life recruitment first semester (due to the administration’s freshmen rush ban) and eating club bicker second semester of the same year. At the same time, many social outlets on campus, particularly sororities, are mocked as being superficial and trivial and as a result, their merits are dismissed. That perspective compels me to identify the lesser-known reasons that make organizations like sororities so valuable to me and the 389 other Princeton women who participate in them. Trivializing the University’s legitimate social organizations is insular yet unfortunately common and I think it’s time for the freshman rush ban to be lifted from sororities.
