"It is good that war is a terrible thing, else we would grow too fond of it." --Robert E. Lee
Someone forgot to tell the boys of Sigma Omicron Beta. When Lee's namesake arrives at college, he doesn't fit the S.O.B. mold, but he's a legacy. It's about joining. When the Pledge Committee declares war on Montgomery Lee, how much pain must he take to belong?
Written under the pen name of Alaric Jaxartes, Rush Week describes the journey of a college freshman who arrives on campus to pledge the fraternity that his family has always joined.
The fraternity has changed. He has a mission, though, for reform. The brothers who control the house resist and do everything they can to make him quit.
His best friend also pledges the fraternity. At first, he thinks it's great but he is horrified by the treatment that Montgomery goes through.
Through the adventures, the two friends meet with girlfriends and have many college experiences. The book climaxes with the arrival of a hurricane and the fraternity's last attempt at total humiliation.
