What is a sorority rush party?

A sorority rush party is an event held by a sorority during their rush (or recruitment) period where potential new members (PNMs) can learn more about the sorority and interact with its members. It's essentially an opportunity for the sorority to showcase itself and for PNMs to decide if they'd like to join. These events vary in format, but generally involve:

* Introductions: Members will introduce themselves and the sorority's values, history, and activities.

* Activities: These could be anything from games and icebreakers to presentations about philanthropy or sisterhood. The goal is to create a fun and engaging atmosphere where PNMs can get a feel for the sorority's personality.

* Informal interaction: This allows PNMs to chat with members individually, ask questions, and get a better sense of what it's like to be a member.

* Refreshments: Food and drinks are usually provided.

The purpose of a rush party is to help both the sorority and the PNMs determine if there is a good fit. The sorority wants to recruit women who align with their values and will be active members, while PNMs are trying to find a sorority that feels like the right home for them. Not all sororities conduct rush in the same way, so the specifics of their parties will vary.
