At the start of every school year, the first few weeks are the most hectic - and competitive. Because Yalies are multi-talented, we tend to rush many groups at once, which can get stressful. Plus, these groups can't function if they accept everyone who tries out, so it gets fairly competitive.
Rush is necessary for clubs to function at Yale. I understand the complaints. I understand how rushing can be stressful and intimidating. I also know that all of this can feel arbitrary, especially with the secrecy that often surrounds the deliberation process. Joining certain groups can feel like either getting or losing a golden ticket.
