<p>^unofficial rush guide from Dukeobsrvr.com (that site doesn't work so I linked to Google's cached version). Profanity warning; no guarantees on accuracy.</p>

<p>dukeobsrvr.com = BEST SITE EVER </p>

<p>Too bad it's down now. I had some great reads there last year.</p>

<p>Hooray for Google cache :)</p>

<p>Thanks, that was great for the frats but I can't seem to open up the sorority one. Is that possible also? I'm just curious... I am a guy so clearly not looking to join.</p>

<p>This might scare people away. Disclaimer!: this isn't what Duke is all about. It's just a part of college life at every campus, Duke's included.</p>

<p>Personally I think the link to the dukeobsrv site should be deleted. The information is outdated, innaccurate, demeaning, and simply pathetic. I rushed most of the frats he talks about, most of it is just plain wrong. Things change every year anyways.</p>

<p>It's too late to delete the link. In my opinion it just serves as entertainment anyway. These are groups of real people; obviously, no stereotype is true or matters. If people choose to believe what that guy is saying, that's their problem. And their opinions will probably change once they actually hit campus and meet the people.</p>

<p>The guy isn't entirely off base besides the huge bias. I also would hardly consider being independent social suicide, esp. if you have friends in frats/sororities.</p>

<p>So for those at Duke, if I'm interested in partying etc. but definitely not intersted in a frat will I be "left out"? or isolated in any way</p>

<p>No because frat parties are open to everyone</p>

<p>Nope, you can always do selective living. It's a more diverse, laid back crowd than you find within the Greek social circle, with just as much of an affinity for partying. It's nice to have friends in both.</p>
