With your hosts, me, Gia Giudice, Daisy Kent, and Jennifer Kessler. It's time to get dirty dirty with some sorority lingo. We're calling this lingo bingo. We're not actually going to play bingo, but we want to talk about the lingo back by popular demand, because we did this earlier in the Dirty Rush series, we talked about the words. And so we've assembled a group, a panel, secret panel. We have young, we have old. So I think our youngest is still in the sorority, and our oldest Is in their 50s. So we did not include the grandma generation, which we should. But we go, we span, you know, a good 30, 30, 40 years here. If you all were to think of one word that makes you think of your sorority, can you think of it? Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Give it, give it. Everybody, give it as a PI Fi. The word boom boom is PI Phi. If you listen to our song episode, you'll understand why. Anybody else? It's not sisterhood in the bonds. Mine's in the bonds. We always said that in the. Is that what yours was? I. I was trying to think of a word. I. I don't know. I just go to blue and blue. Honestly, I feel like that was really hammered home. Yeah. While we're on the topic, a lot of people don't understand that each sorority has colors. So maybe the secret panel. Why don't we go to the Alpha Fee and the Theta? What were your colors? Alpha Fee? Maroon. It might have been maroon and silver or something. Little pretty, a little accent, but mainly maroon. Marine. Ours. Ours was black and gold. Oh, you guys. Black and gold. I was always jealous of Theta colors. I was always jealous. This is Sending me back to the song episode really quick. I'll just sing you an excerpt. Please. We would do a take on black and yellow, and we'd be like, black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow. And we would just sing that all around the house, and it would be like, yeah, you know what it is Theta. They did that when I was in college, too. It was pretty sick. That one I enjoyed. And the pie. Guys, what were you again? Wine and blue. Yeah, that's not a great. These color combinations sucks. It's not good. I remember not liking our colors and. And being like, I wish I was a Theta just for the colors. Black and gold. I love that. Dg. What were. What was dg? Bronze, pink, and blue. Bronze, pink, and blue. Pretty girly. Also a strange combination. I feel like Kappa's rocking here with the blue and blue. It's catchy. That's classic. Yeah. Wear it all the time. So I'd like to go into some sorority lingo that is resonates with the older generation and then see if it's still used by the younger people. Does anybody in this group know what snaps are? Or the silent ditto? Does that mean anything to anyone? Snaps. Snaps. Like, Like. Like snaps like, kudos. Good job type thing. Quiet clapping. Quiet clapping. The way I think it's used is like in a rush meeting, if you're like, we loved, you know, Mary. And everyone starts snapping, then you just don't even have to talk about it anymore. You're kind of in agreement. Yeah. Did everybody use that? Yeah, we use that now. I'd like to know what everyone. How they describe their chapter room. That seems to be something that people are like, what does that even mean? Ours sucked. Why? Tell us more. It was so old and it smelled, and the furniture was always pushed off to this, like, to the wall for, I don't know, whatever dance rehearsal. You had to go through the patio to get out there. It's kind of like a detached. It's interesting you bring up the furniture pushed to the walls because our arts also was always. What? Did anybody else. Was that just to fit all the members in? I think so. Maybe. I didn't know that there was a chapter room. We always did it in our living room. Same here. Did you guys. Did you guys have a dedicated room just for chapter? Yeah. Yes. Yes. Oh, we did the same thing just in our living room. And there were girls sitting on the floor, and it was a whole mess on the floor, for sure. But did you have composites? Do you Guys know what? Composites. Yes. And that was a. For us, that was a big thing in. In when I was in college is we would steal each other's composites. Like sororities and fraternities. Like. Like, we had, like, a Landa Kai and Sigma Chi composite at our house. And that was a thing. Frown on that. Like, you could kind of get busted for that. I don't know. We all did it. It was like, the fun thing to do. Like, you would go to Lambda Kai house for, like, a party and steal their composite and, like, hang it up in your sorority house and did the houses like ours went back. Like, you could find years previous composites. Like, if I go to SAE right now and I search hard, I can find the composite that features one of our panel members fathers and one of our panel members husbands on it. Like, it's still up. Did you know that? Yeah. We have. We have old composites that are just in our hallways. I wonder how to look at how far back it goes. Yeah, Like, I'm not. Not too far. Because we didn't have enough wall space. I wonder where all the old composites are stored. They must be somewhere. We had the same space problem with the composites, where we only had so much wall space. So every year they kept them in this big closet, and then they would rotate out which composites were hung on the wall each year. So it was always like the composites from 5, 10, 15 years ago. And then it was like. I don't know how they did it actually, but they would change them every year. And they were framed in sort of very big, bulky, ugly brown frames. Anybody else? Always. Yeah, just really not. Not sleek or chic frames in any way. Did you guys at Kappa and I don't know if the girls do this, but our meetings were like, Robert's Rules. Like, secretary call to order. Yeah. Yeah, they were okay. Did everybody have that? Pretty soon we had, like, a table where the president, vice president, and all the chairs sat. And then they faced us like it was. There might have even been a gavel. We would do roll call. Like, say the name. Yeah. And you had to wear a skirt in our era. Yeah, same. Is that still a thing over there? A. No. We have, like, a skirt. We have one formal chapter meeting. I'm pretty sure it's every first of the month. And then after that, people are we just rolling in our sweatpants. And then the chapter room for us is like, once it's. It's chapter room on Mondays. And then after that, that's Just, like, TV hangout room. Because the. We have a great TV and the furniture is nice, and we just do movie nights in there downstairs. There's a TV in that room now, and the chapter room's, like, sacred because, like, people who are not Kappas are not allowed to go in there. So, like, we have, like, the TV room in Kappa, but then, like, the Kappas can have the chapter room to watch, like, movie nights in and stuff, too. So it's, like, interesting. So it's like a fun room. I like that you brought that up. I'm assuming for the houses that have chapter rooms, only the Kappa can go in there. Not guests or boyfriends or whatnot. But they turned it into a movie room. No, it's like, a cute little TV space. Courtyard. All that jazz. It's nice. Yeah. Also, what I'd like to talk about is wearing your letters. So when I was at school and I know at least one other person in this panel, nobody wore their letters. Like, it was very much not done. I had not one bit of Kappa merch. You just would not wear that. You would not wear that on campus. You would not wear that at all. What about everybody else at my school? That was, like, the uniform. Like, every sorority made merch that came out every three months, probably. And there were sweatsuits and T shirts from different formals and events that we had all custom made. Everyone bought them. And that's all you wore to class? Whoa. Yeah, Same. That was. It was like, purses with, like. Like, book bags with, like, your letters on it. And you wore your sweaters. You had 10 different types of sweaters, like, all the. Yeah. And then we would make for every, like, philanthropy event or any, like, date night or formal, we would make, like, a shirt, and then we would give it to our dates, and then they would. We, you know. Like, it was. Yeah, merch was, like, a big memory of, like, South Sea shirts or something like that. But I think the guys made that, right. Yeah. But w. Did you wear your letters? We didn't have any merch. Like, we maybe had a T shirt for rush, but we didn't. Not to the extent that my daughters had literally, a T shirt. What about M, Mom M and Lady H? We. I remember we had a really nice bid day. Like, each sorority got a bid day T shirt, and you wore those on, like, the first day of classes or something like that. And ours was really good looking for back in the day. It looked like spearmint gum, kind of like that logo, but it was Bordeaux. Not Maroon. I looked it up. It's Bordeaux. Excuse me? It was green and Bordeaux. Kind of Christmas vibes, but it looked really good. Um, and so we. That T shirt stamp stood out, and then maybe a few more. But nothing like the kids these days because Elle here has bags and bags and bags. Yeah. It's insane. Well, and when you get a big. In your sorority, the three days leading up to it, they'll leave baskets at your door of all these custom water bottles with the letters and custom pens and stamps and stuff like that. And then they also leave all their old T shirts that they don't want. So not only are you getting new T shirts all the time, you get these T shirts passed down from generations. And that's literally all everybody wore along with. Every time there was a game day. Not to be confused with like, your sorority pin that you get, the special one, we would just have these circle pins made that you just clothes pin to your shirt, and it would have your letters. And that's one game days. And you. You give them to your mom to wear. Yeah. You give them your sister to wear. There's a parents weekend one that you give to your parents. There's a siblings one that you give to your siblings. It's really interesting. One of our panelists is holding up a sweatshirt with her KKG on there. I know. I think this was our last year of initiate, like, as I was a senior, our initiation sweatshirt for the year. And you are how old? H35. Right. So this was a solid 15 years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's. I mean, the amount of stuff I had to get rid of, like, after, because you just similar to others. It's just too much. It's overwhelming. Yeah. I've seen a lot of people, like, make blankets from all their stuff, which I think is really. Oh, yeah, that's a cute. So to the people in college still and producer E, did you all wear your letters? Yeah. Similar thing of, like, pass. You pass it down to your little. You have like, new sweatsets that come out each semester. We have like, the girls in the. In the chapter that, like, design them for us. Like, we know that they are going to be cute. Like, that was like the whole thing that, like, we always hear, like, people talk about was like, that they used to not be cute sorority merch. And like, now it's like, it's like normal, really cute sweatshirts that, like, you just always wear out nowadays. I think it's interesting because. And w. You can weigh in on this. I think we Were in sororities at a school at the time when, yes, it was cool, but also it was not cool. Do you know what I'm saying? Like 100. It was cool, but also. No. Like, it wasn't that. Like, it was not. We always knew that we were not like the South. That's for sure. Correct. And I. And not. But even SoCal, they weren't. Like, they weren't wearing their letter. I mean, no one had merch. Like, at ucla, all of our rival schools, we would be more like, oh, we're a great school. We would do our school letters and we'd go away games or they'd come to us. But I don't think walking onto campus during the 90s with your sorority stuff on, I feel like you would have got the stink eye or it just wasn't done. It was sort of like, this is a part of being at college, but it's not a part of what you do on campus. Does that make sense? Yeah. Now it's in your face. It's much more in your face. And it makes me feel sad for the girls that didn't rush or didn't get a bit. It's. I don't know, it feels like excluding a little bit. Like when you see everybody's got their logo on all the time. Yeah. I'll have to say, in our day at our school with host a we, you could go. You could go to a party and legitimately not know who was a sorority or not. I mean, there's a lot of girls that we hung out with that I always thought they were Kappas because they weren't in my sorority house and then come to find out they were never in a sorority. They just were in our friend group. Yeah. But I would say the majority. I still were in the Greek system. Like. Like, would you have dated a guy that wasn't in the Greek system? I did if they weren't an athlete. So I caveat that if they weren't an athlete, I just don't. That would have been. I don't even know how I would know them. Well, the Greek system at our school made our little circle smaller because the school was so overwhelming. It was so big and, you know, urban.

I'm Ben Higgins, and if you can hear me is where culture meets the soul. A place, a real conversation. Each episode, I sit down with people from all walks of life. Celebrities, thinkers, and everyday folks. And we go deeper than the polished story. We talk about what drives us, what shapes us, and what gives us hope. We get honest about the big stuff. Identity when you don't recognize yourself anymore. Loss that changes you. Purpose when success isn't enough. Peace when your mind won't slow down. Faith when it's complicated. Some guests have answers. Most are still figuring it out. If you've ever felt like there has to be more to the story, this show is for you. Listen to if you can hear me on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. For the people on the panel. Do you mostly. Do you. I just acted like we're all 20 years old. Did you. Or do you mostly only date people in the Greek system? Yeah, mine was an athlete. Yeah. But he was the captain of the lacrosse team and that was like his fraternity, you know, like being. That's what he always says. Like, the team was kind of filled that for him. Plus we went to super small school with three fraternities, so that worked out for him. For us. Yeah. I feel like the majority of people in a sorority would only go for fraternity guys. But then again, like I was saying earlier, just the southern thing to do is to go Greek. So I would say probably 80% of my school was in the Greek system. There were many houses and. Oh, and that brings up another good point. Not only would you wear your letters if you ever shacked with a boy and he would give you a T shirt and then you would wear his letters. And that was like the biggest flux of all time. Everyone was jealous of you and they were like, I did get that. I'm getting that. I'm getting what you're putting down there. Like, I would. I get that. A and E. Do you mostly date within the Greek system or. Or not at your schools? I Didn't rush until my sophomore year. So, like, I'm actually pretty. The opposite where, like, I grew up athlete culture, freshman year, and, like, I wasn't even, like, technically allowed to get into, like, the frat parties because I wasn't in a sorority, and I'd have a bid to get in to the parties that the fraternities would give out to the sororities. So, like, once I joined Greek life, I was like, I don't know anyone here. I just know my chapter. And, like, that's it. I'm good with that. So. But I would say, like, I think it. I think it kind of varies now. I feel like I see a lot more. Like, there's a lot more athletes now. It's, like, more normal for athletes to be in Greek life now. I feel like I'm starting to see more of a mix and producer. E. Yeah. I loved frat boys. I did. I loved frat boys. I did. I liked them a lot, I think. I think I still do. I think I still do. Yeah. I still do. I'm like, and what house each. Did you marry a fraternity boy or. No, no, he was an athlete in college. Okay. See, it seems very interesting that this is a recurring theme, that if you weren't in the Greek system, but you were an athlete, it's almost like a pass. None of us were like, no, I just met my husband or boyfriend in chemistry. Like, it's very interesting, I think, because fraternities in sports are communities, and it's kind of interesting when people are part of communities because it's Gives off other clues. Like, they're social, they have friends, they have passions, you know? Yeah. And athletes were always invited to our fraternity parties as well. Like, they could come. Totally. And it was kind of, like, extra cool. Like, I remember being at an SAE party, and there was always a couple football players there. And you're like, oh, my gosh, so and so's here. Wow. Well, they. It was easier for the athletes to be in fraternities in our day. Now, like, they're just. They're so focused on the sport, they're not really allowed to be in fraternities, but they're. Yeah. So then, though, you had your double threats. Yeah, the athletes. Athletes and the frat. Yes, Lady W. Madam W. That is correct. If you were dating the guy that was in the fraternity and the athlete, I mean, you were. You were winning. That's what you call smoke. That's what you call a smoke. Yes. Yeah. I mean, you're immediately in your Terms. Immediately I'm getting in my mind a couple guys that then played professional football and I'm just like. Like, I don't know w if you're thinking of the same thing, but it's like there's a. There was a couple guys that were fraternity guys, Cal football players that went into the NFL. And it's like, well, that's the trifecta. Like you've just. You've really won the lottery, I think with that. Yeah. Well, you could. I don't know, I might have. We had some Olympians too. Uh huh. Slash. Yeah. Frat slash Olympian. I. Yeah, I tapped a lot of those. I married one and spent a lot of time with a lot of the others. Yeah, I had a lot of notches. Yeah, I know. Those were the days. I'm trying to get those. Get those back again. Okay, so I want to talk about something. Did everybody in this panel make it to the end? Did anyone have to deactivate? I dropped out. Oh. I was dishonorably discharged. Wow. Okay. If you don't mind telling us your situations. It's anonymous. Why don't we begin with L and then we'll go to W. Okay. So, I mean, mine was really not that big of a drama. Basically what happened is the summer after my junior year, I was doing this internship that I absolutely loved. And I was coming up on senior year, and they wanted me to come back and recruit, which meant that I would have had to go back to school two weeks early, move in early, all of that, and I would have had to stop my internship early because I wasn't planning originally to go to recruitment. And I was like, oh, I'm going to pass. I have this internship. But I didn't get it excused in time, which is like, probably my bad. But anyways, they came back to me and they were like, if you don't come and recruit, we're going to fine you $1,000. And I was like, $1,000. I don't even feel like at first being in sorority is so much fun. It's so exciting. But I feel like as time goes on, you kind of phase out of, like, at least for me, I kind of phased out of caring as much or wanting to be as involved as I was maybe sophomore year, you know? So I really thought about it and I was like, okay, go recruit. Which I didn't want to do. Pay $1,000 or drop out. And I was like, I'm going to drop out. And. And this was your senior year. Did you drop out? Senior Year. Yeah. This was right before my senior year started, so I just wasn't in it the last year of college, which ended up being fine. Cause by then, I was already established and had my friends, and then I kind of just skipped out on chapter and all. So my question for you would be, do you consider yourself a Theta? See, that's a tough question, because in my mind, yes. Because I went through initiation, and I went through all the things, and I still have so many friends that were in it, and I absolutely did love it. But then on the other hand, I feel like it's maybe offensive to other people for me to call myself that, because I kind of skipped out on the end. So I think technically, so we can explain to people listening, technically, to be considered and somebody keep me honest. A sorority alumna. I don't know how you say it. You have to make it the whole way. You can't. You can't leave early or you lose your ability to be affiliated with the sorority. Does that. Is that how everybody sort of feels? Yes. Correct. I think so, too. So it's hard, because having had that experience, anytime someone's like, oh, I was a Theta, I'm like, oh, I was too. And then I'm like, oh, can I say that? I don't know. And as Elle's mom, I was really nervous about her regretting it in the long run. And so I just said, like, we need to, you know, sort of do, like, highs and lows, like, what's gonna. What. What's at stake here? And I remember you were like, I'm not gonna get to wear the cord at graduation. But you didn. That's interesting. Yeah. You can hard at graduation, which you didn't think was a problem. And then there was maybe one other thing. But when you checked and balanced it out, like, you were totally fine with your decision. Yeah. It doesn't seem like you regret it. No, I don't feel like I do. I really did enjoy it for the time that I did it, but then I was kind of like, well, I'm good. I was considering dropping out my senior year. And the reason, for financial reasons and the reason I didn't was so that I could get the alumni status and have it for, like, networking possibilities for my career and things like that. So I did end up I like you. Kind of. Like, by senior year, I was a bit checked out of. It was like, I have a different life that's not centered around the sorority, but because I wanted, like, those networking opportunities and things like that. I Stuck it out to till the end to be considered a cap Cap Gamma. So I get that. What w. What happened to you? You know, I guess I didn't my meddle actively like try to remove myself from the house. A bunch of us moved onto Northside senior year, like eight of us. And we would go to Monday night meetings, but we would get fined or I guess I don't know. I think I didn't learn that. I was like. What do you call it? It's not like bad standing. Yeah, they called it leaving them with bad standing. So I wasn't able to join the alumni network, but I didn't actively leave. And then I have like 30 $500 worth of unpaid bills apparently that my dad didn't pay and I didn't. Yeah. I didn't learn of this until I went. Because you had to go online to write a letter of rec for a couple of kids in our neighborhood. Girls. They were older than my girls and I didn't. So I didn't learn of this until. This is. Well before my girls were going to school. So I was a little nervous they wouldn't get into pied by. But I went to go online and they said, oh, we can't accept your. Whatever sorority number your name shows up as unpaid bills from 1994. So like they knew my chapter, they knew my school. And this was like, you know, the whatever chap. Wherever. Where's headquarters for PI? Is it Illinois? I can't remember. Somewhere. Yeah, but someone was keeping track on paper. That's so 3, 500 of bills. My dad did not pay senior year because we moved out. So. Because he didn't think he needed to pay the bills. So. Wow. It was more of like a new. Technically not. So you cannot write recommendation letters. No. So that is a bad thing about being. Not being an in good standing alumnus. I don't think that I could right at one. No. I think there's no way I haven't tried one. I think the tough thing at our school was at the time and it's different now. If you moved out, if you did not want to live in the house senior year, you had to deactivate because at the time you're required to live in the house. That is not the case other places for me, I agree with H that there was something to being able to have it into eternity, you know, rather than not have it. So the others. E. You made it the whole way I made it. Yeah, we're good. Dues paid. I'm good on the rec Side. You're welcome. We have two mother daughters here. Thank you, daughters. Okay, let's do a speed round. And I'm just going to go through some of the young, young things and have the young people tell us we want to do some college lingo. So this is not sorority lingo, but this is just general college lingo. And I'd like the young ones to, in just a few words, explain what these are. Riz, Charisma Sus. The specialists. Sneaky link. This is a good one. I just learned your secret hookup. Oh, tell me more about this. So a sneaky link is a fraternity boy. It can be. Anyone can be some guy that, like, you're gonna go have, like, a late night hookup with that, like, you shouldn't. That you guys are, like, not saying anything about because he's not, like, boyfriend, so you, like, make out or whatever. No strings attached. No strings attached. Like, that's the sneaky link. And do your sorority sisters know about your sneaky link? Your friends know about your sneaky link, but, like, you don't want, like, outside people knowing about your sneaky link attached to sneaky link. Everyone I know would always have the thought of, like, if something bad happened to their sneaky link because you had this, like, secret emotional connection to them, but no one else knew about it. So, like, I would always think, like, if your sneaky link died, you couldn't go to the funeral. Yeah, like, speak at the funeral. You just have to be the woman in black with sunglasses on. Yeah, Amy, we've got a term for that in our generation. I'll tell you when we get to our generation. Yeah, I need to know. Okay, so you'll remember. Situationship. Everybody knows I'm skipping that one. Crash out. Crash out is exactly how it says it. It's just like you're crashing out about something. You're just like, what's going on? When you and I were in the car the other day, did I crash out? When that woman. I would consider that a crash out. I would, too, but it was, like, pretty valid. Crash out. I would say lore. Lore. What is lore? I hear you guys say this all the time. Like your secret backstory. Like, that's like. Like, you're like, whoa, I didn't know that about you. That's lore. That's a good one.

Tell me if I'm alone here, Dirty rush listeners, but shopping used to feel more fun before all the algorithm fed blah and the endless sea of dupes. But I have a confession. I found that fun feeling again on ebay. Because ebay, it's not just shopping. It's a fun full on fashion pursuit. And when you find the thing that adrenaline hit is real. Like when you score that Rari Adidas collab that's lived on your mood board, that Dior saddlebag you ripped out of a magazine in 2007 and never got over. Or something like The Cecily Bonsen XGT2160s that sold out in five seconds. Yeah, those. It's all about the thrill of finding pieces that feel like me. And I want you to find peace and that feel like you. There's always more to discover. Ebay has millions of pre loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by ebay.

China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Riegel, Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the US Government is onto him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Hear how they got it on the Sixth Bureau podcast? I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question of his life. And that's a unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its vault of secrets. Listen to the 6th Bureau on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Is this one. Bet, bet, bet. It's like saying, okay, like. Like you could be like, let's hang out at five. Okay, bet. Oh, so it's like, you bet. Yeah, kind of. So you guys are so busy that you had to shorten it. Okay. The Lulu, we all know what is. She ate. She ate like, she. This is my favorite from this generation. I love. I wish I would say so. Like, so good. That girl's a queen. She ate and left no crumbs. Exactly. Oh, see? Oh, she actually killed that. That. I feel like the other day I ate and then I. Then I pooped the bucket. Like, I ate and then I. You the bed. Yeah, I did. I was doing so good. I ate and then it was like. I don't know what happened. Okay, what is low key versus high key? Another goodie. Yeah. How do I explain that? Loki's like, you say. It's like. You could say, like, I'm kind of upset. Low key. And it's like, I'm not that upset, but semi. Like, I'm semi upset. Like, I'm. I'm low key upset right now. And then if it's like high key, it's like, you. I'm pretty upset. I'm. I'm livid. Are you crashing out if you're high key? Yeah, almost. Yes, You're. You're pretty much there. It's the same thing when they say aesthetic. Oh, yeah. Like, it's so aesthetic. That's not correct. What's what aesthetic means it has a look, it's aesthetically pleasing, but they use it completely wrong. So they'll just come into a room and say, it's so aesthetic. What? Whatever. Pov. Let's talk about pov. Point of view. But what is that? But how would you use it? It's kind of like, listen to my story. I'm setting the scene. Point of view. Pov, this is where we are. Does that make sense? Like, maybe someone will post and be like, pov, I just fell on the ground and that hurt in front of everyone. And like, they'll post a photo of it. It's like, POV this. I will skip to the old generation now. And we will look, we will bring this back, we will bring back lingo. Bingo. In a few weeks. But I will rattle off the old generation language, which is terrifying that we're the old generation, because there is another. We got to get the grandmas on. But I would like the old people to comment M, W and me. And also the young ones to say if they would ever use these sayings. That's tight. That reminds me of what they say now. That's lit. I think that's the new. That's tight. Is that. No, not the definition of that's tight. Well, how would you say that's tight? That's. That's W's favorite word. Talk to me. W. W would use it if I. If you get pushed down a flight of stairs, you look at the person who did the pushing and you say, that's tight. Oh, that's true. Mean, kind of not cool. Not cool. So that is true. Low key. Not good. So amazingly accurate. Okay, obviously, we all use rad. We use rad. You are the queen of rad. Oh, I'll put it in a text back. Rad. Oh, my husband quotes you all the time. He's. And he's like, in the. In the words of. Of a lady. Gay, rad lady. I think we use rad sarcastically now when we're like, oh, that is. If someone does something stupid, we're like, that was rad. Sometimes it slips out for me and it's just like, cool. Rad. Duh is one of my favorite ones that I think spans all generations. Do we agree? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Duh is just so great. For sure. Oh, wait, Gen Z, twist on it. Ready for this? Yeah. Lay. Duh. Oh, it's French. French. How can you please use that in a sentence? Like, and it comes with, like, the Full body. When you're. When the way that you would say duh, me and my friends go lay. Duh. Okay, that. That might work. That's really good. Lame. Which I think that's the best. Yeah, it's the best word because it's. It's very meh. It's like, yeah, that's lame. Stop being so lame. Like, why wouldn't you text me back? It's so lame. Like, I don't. I'm not even doing anything weird. Just text me back. Girls can be lame. Rooms are lame. Situations are lame. It's just lame. Show is lame. Easy. Just. Again, another low key. Dinner is so lame. Yeah, dinner's always was Monday night meals were always lame. Now the girls put sleep together on here. Is that something that only old people say? It feels weird to say sleep together. We didn't say that, Amy. I. I'm not saying I said it, but I certainly did not say what the crass ladies of today say. I definitely did not. We would say, did you do it? Well, you know what? Yeah, you. You are right. We didn't even say anything remotely like that. If you hooked up with someone or scam was another word that we used. It was always kissing. And if there was. If there was sex, no one talked about it. That is accurate. Madame W. That is so accurate. There was so much less talking about it. Yep. And not. I'm not even saying it was shameful or not. It just was not talked about. The thing that's very confusing is when we say hooked up, you definitely were not talking about doing it. Yeah, it was just always just kissing. We maybe laying down. Maybe laying down, kissing. Laying down, kissing. Like it was getting together, hooking up, scamming. We're all about like the. You could do that on the bus on the way to the mixer. Scamming. That get together. That was. People would ask like, did you get together? Did you guys get together? Did you up. But not sex. Just. Did you make out? Yeah, but I don't think we ever young. Did you by. By the time. For millennials, hookup definitely meant sex. Yeah. It did not mean sex in our day. Now I feel like it means everything. And it's pretty misleading because some people will be like, well, we hooked up, but they just mean that they kissed. Or some people will say, oh, we hooked up. And it'll mean sex. And. But it's just kind of mysterious. It's. It's like, oh, we hooked up. And you're like, what does that mean? The lines are blurred. But Also, sometimes it's funny hearing the older generation use hookup in the sense of, like, getting together with friends. I'm like, no, no, we do that all the time. I'd be like, do you want to hook up later? Yeah, that was. I. My kids were so, like, over me asking them, are you going to hook up with your friends after school? Like, assurably not. I think what people are wrong. What people are more confused about now is when parents say, like, oh, you're dating. And it's like, no, we're not dating like you. But then they'll be like, wait, you guys are going on dates? So that means that you're dating. That doesn't mean that you're dating, though. Like, dating has to be confusing. Yeah, the whole talking and dating. Dating has to be boyfriend, girlfriend. Like, you have claimed, labeled boyfriend girlfriend to be considered dating. If you're going on dates, though, and there's no label, you guys are just talking, and then that means you're just in a situationship, and that's where the situationship comes into play. So you can be going on dates with someone you're just talking to. Yes. Makes no sense. Just letting you know. No sense. And what is seeing each other? That's what I hear old people saying now we're seeing each other, and I want to be like, please shut up. I feel like seeing each other is just. You're talking to them like I'm talking to blah, blah. But we don't even say that. Feels so old to me. It's like, we don't say that. We don't say seeing each other. Do you say going steady? No one says that. That's from the 50s. Correct. That's what I'm. I'm saying that. That Happy days. I don't even. Correct. Thank you. I think going steady is in the 50s happy days era. Yeah. Or that's the one above us. Now, what about this one, which is a classic, classic sorority term? We used rager. It was a rager. That was the only way to describe the party. Yes. Are we gonna rage? Do you gonna rage? Let's rage. It sounds so cheesy. We still use that. And to take it a step further, if it was a day party rather than a night party, it was a dajer. Right. We're very clever with that kid. We never used danger, but. But I wish we did. I love Daeger. The whole debate was daeger or darty. I like danger. What's a Darty? Same thing. A day party. I like danger, though. That's well, that's a goodie. It's a good one. Wow. We are gonna need to bring this back in another month or so because I feel like we are gonna have a lot more lingo. Bingo. And that is another episode of Dirty Rush. The Truth About Sorority Life. Xolair Omalizumab is proven to significantly reduce allergic reactions if a food allergy accident happens.

In this episode, co-hosts Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge invite a diverse panel spanning multiple generations—current sorority women, recent grads, and alumni—to “get dirty with some sorority lingo.” The main theme centers around the evolution and nuances of sorority (and general college) language, customs, and unwritten rules, as seen through the lens of insiders from various eras and chapters. The panel delves into everything from favorite sorority words and traditions, to house-specific quirks and rituals, to dating culture and the ever-shifting boundaries of “hookup” lingo—offering a vivid, sometimes hilarious look at Greek life across generations.
The episode wraps with a “speed round” where Gen Z panelists define trending slang for the old guard and compare it to elder phrases. (58:07)
Panelists laugh at generational miscommunications; older women reminisce about how sex was rarely discussed and “hooking up” meant something totally different.
Sorority Merch Through the Ages
Hookup Culture, Then and Now
On Outdated and Modern Terms
The tone throughout is candid, teasing, and deeply conversational—punctuated by inside jokes, mock complaints about generational changes, and playful self-awareness. The hosts and guests banter casually, happy to both roast and celebrate their own and each other’s sorority experiences. There’s genuine curiosity and warmth as panelists learn new lingo, reminisce about shared memories, or lightheartedly debate whose era had it “best.”
This episode acts as an entertaining, insightful primer on how sorority life, language, and customs have shifted over the decades—including the surprising ways they stay the same. The panel’s mix of nostalgia and cultural anthropology gives listeners (Greek or not) a fun window into this world—with enough “dirty talk” about lingo, crushes, rituals, and T-shirts to last until the next rush.
