What is Dirty Rushing sorority?

Dirty rushing in a sorority is when members break official recruitment rules to gain an unfair advantage, using tactics like contacting potential new members (PNMs) outside the allowed "silence period," sending gifts, promising bids, trash-talking other houses, or offering special privileges, all to influence a PNM to choose their chapter. This manipulates the fair recruitment process and can get both the rusher and the PNM in trouble with the university or Panhellenic council.
