hundreds of girls dressed up with nametags around their necks and a map glued to their faces as they rush to the next house. I asked my friend‚ Sydney‚ who lives down the hall how she felt about rush and why she dropped after the first round. Her main reason for dropping was that the whole thing was too time consuming and expensive. Sydney said she didn’t like the idea of being judged after only ten minutes.
