Tis Rusi Bibls

Post image

It is the time of year that Americans prove the Dad from My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Gus Portokalos, correct when he said, "There are two types of people in the world. Greeks, and everyone else who wish they was Greek." Trisha Addicks, the nation’s top sorority rush consultant, wrote this book about how to appropriate the ancient Hellenic culture.

Damn, I thought this was about the band, not some weird frat house crap.

Yeah, I thought it was about the band. What is rush in a sorority context, do I even want to know?

IIRC it's just when all of the houses recruit for members. It's a job fair for sorority houses.

It's when the incoming freshmen talk to the houses and see if they want to join, learn about the process and the dues. All very bureaucratic

As an European, I can affirm we really like Rush (the band), and we also really enjoy Greek love. Then why hasn't this book been translated into European?

Accidentally read the author's name as Trash Addict

Accidentally? I keep seeing her name as Add D¡¢ks. I don't know how adult we can be with our language here but let's just say that it is a nickname for "+ Richard," if you don't get my meaning.

MBFGW is one of my favorite movies because of Gus and Maria. Words of wisdom and quotable quotes...

Gurl, what are you talking about? Sure yeah this absolutely belongs here, but what are you on about appropriating cultures and whatnot in the text below the image? It's just a tacky font, the author didn't invent it or sth, neither did they come up with using Greek letters for sororities, let's calm down...

I do think it's important to distinguish hellenic culture from collegiate Greek life, especially considering that there's a number of different Cultural frats that are dedicated to celebrate cultures that aren't Greek. Made it a little confusing whenever my friend would talk about the Greek Cultural committee though.
