As registration numbers climb, so does concern that this percentage of women without bids could rise, fueling fears and driving the rumor mill.
Much of that gossip spreads on Yik Yak, an anonymous, location-based social media app popular on college campuses. Every year during rush, the platform fills with Greek life discourse — rankings of the “top” houses, what fraternities each sorority mixes with, which houses are “not worth rushing” and sometimes hateful messages targeted at specific chapters.
New this year, however, are posts about so-called “rush guides.”
Circulating on Snapchat and Instagram, these guides are allegedly “made by sisters” and carry titles like “Top Sororities Rush Guide” or “Dirty Rush 2026.” They are marketed as insider resources offering advice on how to stand out, what to do — and what not to do — during recruitment and how to secure an “early bid.”
