rushees
Fraternity recruitment targets
Rushees are college students being recruited by fraternities or sororities during rush—the formal period when Greek organizations evaluate and court prospective members.
The term casts these students as objects of pursuit: The rushees toured each house before receiving their bids.
Also spelled rush-ees.
