‘greek’ recap-pie: season 4. episode 2. “fools rush in.”

If at first you burn down your rebel rushing booth, try, try again. Er, or something like that. This week, everyone was trying, either trying to join a house, staying close to a house, or getting others to want to join a house. We’ll start with the brothers of Kappa Tau, who, for the first time seemingly ever actually have to try during rush. It seems that karmic synergy isn’t a real thing. Who knew?! Since Rusty’s Rush Chair, it’s his responsibility to actually do most of the trying. First he gets inspired by Princess Leah Dana (Did anyone else totally forget she existed?), and decides to build a rebel booth at the Greek Rally, that the Kappa Taus were too late to register for. Unfortunately, that thing catches on fire. Then, the brothers hold their annual secret party, this time targeting “real KTs,” but someone calls the campus cops on them. Their punishment? No pledges. Except one. Legacy Peter Parks. The rule allowing a legacy to accept a bid even when a fraternity isn’t allowed to give out bids seems fake, but who knows. I guess Greek is so accurate usually, I’ll allow them some liberty on this one. Also, Peter is adorable. So, who called the campus police on the KTs? Could it be true? Was it really Dale?! It seems our favorite little Christian is rushing. And he’s got his eyes on Omega Chi. Cappie and Rusty have been so good to Dale, but he is a geek at heart, and being in Omega Chi will do a lot more for his rep and the sexual equivalent of his dance card than being a Kappa Tau can. So, not only does Dale snitch on the KTs but he also reveals to Trip that he was the one to out Calvin’s truce. Remember when I predicted we’d see the dark side of Rebecca again this season? I take that back. Hello, Evil Dale! Unleeeeess he’s joining Omega Chi, so he can keep the peace with KT in the end and bring Evan and Cappie back together. Wishful thinking? It’ll be interesting to see how Calvin and Dale’s relationship evolves since Calvin’s brothers still kind of hate him right now. Well, maybe not-so interesting. Honestly, I’m sick of the whole truce storyline, so hopefully it won’t last the entire season. Over on Sorority Row, Tegan’s back and giving Rebeccca hell during Rush Recruitment. Honestly, it’s these little things that make Greek such a good show. When my alma mater switched from using the term rush to recruitment, it was all we heard about. Tegan constantly correcting the sisters cracked me up. What’s also funny is that my officemates and I were just thinking about Charisma Carpenter at work the other week, wondering what she was up to. And here she is! Anyway, Tegan makes Casey House Mom (who didn’t see that one coming?) and questions everything Rebecca does. In the end, Rebecca proves herself, and Tegan loosens the reigns a bit. In the process, Casey becomes full-time House Mom, and actually bonds with Tegan. See, Casey is experiencing what a lot of sisters — and Greeks in general — do: Greek system withdrawal. Sure, she’s in law school, she has her own life, and she shouldn’t care about the daily goings-on in the ZBZ house, but she does. She turns to Tegan, who has made ZBZ her life’s work, for advice. She learns that it’s OK to still be involved, but as a mentor. And finally, let’s check on the Casey/Cappie status this week. It looks like things are looking up a bit. Although Casey wasn’t receptive to Cappie’s new “trying” thing because it was for her and not himself (Geez, cut him some slack, Case!). Ultimately, Cappie does try for himself and his house. He’s learning! Um, and kind of apropos of nothing, how great is Heath’s sister’s name?! For some reason every time someone said her name, it made me think of this: Seriously, replace “Seether” with “Heather,” and a good time will be had by all. Also, apropos of nothing, where can I get a box of Alio’s?! Help a sista out! Next week, Ashleigh is back, while her real-life boyfriend continues to frighten me in these TMobile ads. See you then!
