While the aesthetics of "Greek Life" give major nostalgia and high-energy camaraderie for some, we can still be honest about the foundations of this hyper-traditional social institution. Built on exclusion, these institutions have historically functioned as gatekeepers of social capital, often enforcing rigid and fabricated hierarchies that marginalized or outright endangered women, queer and trans people, and people of color. From systemic racial segregation to the reinforcement of toxic gender binaries and the pervasive threat of violence, Greek Life was never really designed for our people, much less designed to be a safe harbor for intersectional and marginalized communities. This party is a deliberate act of subversive reclamation. We're stripping away the elitism, the classism and all the toxic bullshit, and we're turning that aesthetic on its head with our own joy, our own intersectional identities at the center, and our own rules. We aren't trying to fit into a mold that wasn't made for us. The queers are reconstructing the mold, babes. We are the mold. RUSH SZN is for us. Let's party.
