...Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 Directed by Sanaa Hamri; rated PG-13; opening Aug. 6 Imagine Sex and the City as an after-school special; that's this sequel to the 2005 film about four teen friends (Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera, Blake Lively and Alexis Bledel).

Rushing a sorority is a completely open process: there’s no comp, girls from every year are welcome to start the process without officially applying, or needing an exclusive invite, as for a female final club. By attending events, PNMs are ostensibly eligible for consideration by any of the three sororities involved in the Panhellenic counsel and get to express their preferences late in the rush process. Sorority girls often cite this process of mutual selection as part of what makes...
