Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to Dirty Rush, The Truth about Sorority Life with
your hosts me Gia Judice, Daisy.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Kent, and Jennifer Kessler.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Welcome back for first two of this week's Dirty Rush.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Today, I'm speaking with three generations of my family.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
I'm Lauren, Sarah, Megan, Grammy Taylor, and we're here to
answer some more questions. So let's dive into it. How
has your solreaty shaped who you are now years later?

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Probably just the friendships that broils down to.

Speaker 5 (00:39):
Yeah, that's all you're left with after those four years
of college is how much you keep in touch and
rehashing memories and stories and just laughing about memories, and
that's what it really is.

Speaker 6 (00:51):
Left.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Oh yeah, we're doing with that too.

Speaker 7 (00:56):
A lot of my s Ferriti's sisters ended up marrying
my husband's fraternity brothers, so we have had some wonderful
reunions and everything.

Speaker 8 (01:08):
Yeah, I think that I agree with everything you guys
are saying, like friendships and hopefully they last forever. Since
I just graduated, but also I will stay. Being on
the recruiting side for one time I think was really
interesting just seeing the back end of the process and
it kind of made me more aware of sort of

(01:28):
different recruiting processes when it comes to jobs and stuff
like that, and that there's always more going on and
like more they know about you than you would even imagine.
So maybe a little bit more skeptical. Yeah, what do you.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Think sororities do really well these days? And where do
you think that they fall short?

Speaker 8 (01:47):
I think there's a ton of opportunities to get involved,
At least at our school, there's like a million different positions. Yeah,
and it's not really hard to get one. So I
think that's amazing stuff you can add to your resume
leadership opportunities. And then maybe I think they fall short
in terms of actual connection. There's not a ton of
great opportunities to really connect with your whole PCs, especially

(02:09):
if it's like ninety girls like ours are. And so yeah,
I think that's what I would answert to that. I agree.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
God, I think a lot of my friends that I've
talked about it, like the boys and their PCs all
have to know like everyone's name and know like three
facts about all of them.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
They just get so.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Close through pledging and everything.

Speaker 6 (02:29):
And I'm not saying that we should get haste or anything,
But I think that it's definitely super important.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Like my PC is I.

Speaker 6 (02:34):
Think one hundred and ten people, and I know like
a lot of them, and I hang out with them
a lot, and I see them at chapter and different
sisterhood events. But there's still people that I will see
her in chapter and I've never met them, and it's
like when am I going to meet them?

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Am I ever going to?

Speaker 8 (02:47):
And I think that doing more bonding early on would
be definitely like something that I would say they fall
short with. But another thing that came to mind when
you said something that they do well is this kind
of counterintuitive, but like social events with like frats, like
when we had Day Night's first semester, like I got
to know so many of the boys and I got

(03:07):
super close with my friends because we would have those
like multiple.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Times a week and it would be super fun.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, that's kind of more refreshment thing.

Speaker 7 (03:14):
But I think like social events and formals and stuff
for they do really well with.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, what about you guys with smaller PCs.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
What I noticed they do really well now is something
that we didn't have at all is I'm always impressed.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
By this social media.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Oh yeah, it's really amazing because I follow both of
you know, your all's houses, and I think I followed
Pandelantic for them, you know, for the school and the
way they can communicate and promote things and kind of
show their vibe and everything like that, that's impressive to me.

Speaker 7 (03:47):
I agree, I'm not very knowledgeable about the starts.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yeah, through you guys, you know. So, yeah, I have
a good answer for that. This is for Mama Grammy.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
I think that RUSH today is harder, easier, or just
really different than when you went through it.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
I think it's probably different than when where I went
to school because so many people in the houses and everything,
you know, but you can you still, you know, make
the friendships and everything if you joined. So yeah, yeah,
I would say.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Different, you know, yeah, and maybe harder.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
Just I just feel like there's so much more pressure
because there's so much more awareness because of social media
and because of the trends of the most really the
past few years, especially where there's been these breakout stars
that are based on RUSH. Yeah, and they really expose

(04:50):
the process, and I think it makes it a little
different and hard.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
I agree.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Yeah, it's interesting to your point earlier where you're talking
about social media. It's such great to market yourself and
to put yourself out there as a house and really
let people get to know you before you come into
rush or to communicate about different things that are going on.
But it also just opens you up to more I
don't know if it's better or worse to have more
knowledge before going into rush, right, because then you just

(05:19):
have preconceived notions and think gets kind of worse.

Speaker 7 (05:22):
Yeah, I that's interesting.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
What is the worst advice you've ever heard given about rush?

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Oh gosh, I'm trying to think.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
I think like.

Speaker 6 (05:36):
People trying to get information out of you and being like, well,
it's better to get it off your chest just because
they want to know what you're thinking and like where
your head's at with your like thoughts on different authorities.
I think that it's always good to kind of keep
it a little close to you and keep it private
and I do and that that definitely like works in
people's benefit if you like keep it kind of personal

(05:57):
because things get around and stuff.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 8 (06:02):
I think the worst advice is gonna spraytand in Texas
because you're gonna sweatish.

Speaker 6 (06:08):
White shirt that yeahs orbs are orange it's horrible.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah, it's like the Panemtic shirt. You like pair it
with a skirt.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
And they have to wear it three days and a
rossive to wash.

Speaker 6 (06:21):
It and it is like two hundred outside its recipe.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
For that one.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Do you look back on anything you did during Russia
and cringe?

Speaker 4 (06:33):
That's a good Onok.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
Yeah, some of the chants and songs that I looked
back made me cringe a little bit, and kind of
some of the not skits but music things, And yeah,
it's not very sophisticated back in the nineties.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
I agree.

Speaker 8 (06:51):
I think some of the TikTok dances I just like
didn't need to participated.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
Wayste just snakes.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
We thought, like curfew, it's just through the downstairs window.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah we did.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
So, I'm not real proud of that. Get caught.

Speaker 7 (07:15):
No, we have like a home monitor, so it's a
little different.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Oh, we had a house mother that lived in the house,
but she'd always been asleep.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
In no problem. That's funny.

Speaker 6 (07:31):
I think during Rush the only thing that cringed me
out was wearing silver jewelry with like an outpit.

Speaker 7 (07:35):
That was like so bad for silver jewelry.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
I still think of it sometimes. That's just me.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
I think during Rush, my worst moment was there was
a house that I really really didn't want, and I
was having a really bad day because I got cut
from like every house I liked, and I went in
there and I kind of watched.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
It because I knew I didn't want that house, and
I feel really.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Bad about that because I think I should have given
everybody a more chance, a more open minded chance. But
the squirrel was asking me what a venger would be
if I was a supero, and honestly, I don't want to.
I was like crashing out. If your sorority were a

(08:20):
reality TV show, which one would it be?

Speaker 4 (08:25):
I would have been The Secret Lives and Morbid Lives.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Everyone was getting married way too young.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
Oh my god, Oh gosh, that's a good one.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
I feel like min would have been this is before
your Guys time. But it was an MTV reality show
called The Real World.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
What was it about?

Speaker 5 (08:42):
It was just like they would just pick like eight
or ten strangers and put them all in a house
together and they would spend the summer together. Yeah, and
you would just see how the friendships would develop and
who would.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Hang out with you and what they would go do.
Y the real world.

Speaker 8 (08:59):
I feel like ours would be some like fun show
like love Islant. Yeah, I feel like spring Breakers. Yeah,
totally totally.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
I don't No, I don't what about any show, any show?

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, Oh, let me think about it.

Speaker 9 (09:22):
Oh, No, friends could be friends, or that would be
or the ones that TC could be for more ones
a wife because they're all going to the South.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Did being in different sororities from each other ever cause
any tension or friendly rivalry.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
In this family?

Speaker 8 (09:57):
I think when I joined a different when then you
were in at TCU, I didn't want it to hurt
your feelings or anything, but I think looking back, you
didn't care.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
I think I've really checked out at that.

Speaker 5 (10:09):
Yeah, I haven't observed that as your mom's you know,
as your mom, I know.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
And it's surprising us all being at the same school.
But I think I don't know when you think about
sisterhood when it comes to sororities, like, we already have
my favorite sisterhood, and so anything outside of that is
like extra and it's friendship, but it's not the sisterhood.

Speaker 5 (10:33):
That we When you have sisters, multiple sisters, like you,
really that's your core.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah, we don't hold it as high of a pedestal. Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
If you could switch places and join any other person,
here's sorority. What would you pick and why? Grammy?

Speaker 4 (10:54):
I would pay Grammy? Would that be fun?

Speaker 3 (10:56):
I would choose Mom.

Speaker 6 (10:57):
It was because Alpha house everyone, it's like the top
house across the country.

Speaker 9 (11:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
I feel like it is really good at nationally and
I would have loved to experience it.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
At USD just chill lot. It was good.

Speaker 5 (11:10):
But I also would pick the time frame of Grammy's
like in the sixties and before we had phone and
if your boyfriend wanted to call and ask you out,
he'd have to call the house phone or someone would
have to take a message for you, you know, just
like yeah, that.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
Innocent times we had phone booths. You're gonna have privacy. Well,
I don't know for privacy. It was just the old
boy I'm doing. Yeah, yeah, did you was it you?

Speaker 5 (11:40):
I know Dad had this for his fraternity. But did
you have a sleeping porch?

Speaker 6 (11:45):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (11:46):
So yeah, can you talk that? Explain the sleeping porch?
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Well it was a whole floor up from the living area,
and I guess we got to sign beds. I don't
think we got to fight over who gets what, and
you can just get up whenever you wanted.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
You know, there was just a room with all the beds. Yeah,
all the beds a commuter.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Well, I will say the rooms we've shared were two
people per room and we did. I think you you've
had sort of like a day bed in there, but
it's small.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
You but you were expected to sleep on the sleeping port.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
That's crazy and I know, wow, do you feel like
you've got good rest?

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (12:32):
I do. I don't remember it a problem.

Speaker 6 (12:35):
I think I want to be able to sleep when
people like stay up late or get home and you'd
get annoyed.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
No, I think you were just so used to people
coming and going.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
Yeah, I didn't even wake you up and it was
just for sleep, like that's where you were.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
Yeah, right, no strangers, no, no boys a lot.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Well, thank you guys so much for joining this episode.

a family and get to hear all of your takes.
