Pinky In or Pinky Out: Rush 101

How you do coke says a lot about you. Which decision will you make? 

What frat you join will be crucial to the rest of your life—those letters will be on a bumper sticker on your car well into adulthood, after all. But how do you make sure you’re perceived exactly how you want to be? How do you make sure you present yourself as the most ideal frat archetype for your branding? Rush 101 is here to help!  

For our first lesson, we’ll be discussing a meaningful and personal issue when it comes to drug abuse: when you’re doing coke, should you put your pinky in or out? The answer lies within the person—it’s not a one size fits all solution. 

Pinky Out 

Pinky out adds a zesty yet sophisticated flair to your coke usage. With this technique, you will transform into Queen Elizabeth sipping tea right in front of the frat boy’s’ eyes. It’s powerful symbolism. But make sure that your pinky stands with pride, because no one likes a flaccid pinky. Feel free to add an eyebrow raise and a pursed lip for a little extra sass.  

How do you know when to utilize this technique? Pinky out is great for Emory’s gay frat boy archetype. If you’ve got a scarf on or a button-down with one-too-many buttons undone, this is a good call—regardless of the brother’s actual sexuality (Emory Greek Life is fond of metrosexuality). 

Pinky In 

 

Pinky in is a bold statement as well. It speaks to your masculinity and creates a more phallic shape of the hand. It says “yeah, that’s right, this line is my bitch.” It says, “I promise my dick is bigger than my pinky.” To further the effect of this technique, it’s best to go into a coke rage soon after. 

This technique is best utilized around men with fragile masculinities. It’s also a safe, traditional bet if you’re nervous about trying something new. If you’re around frat boys who would fit in at an SEC or Big 10, this is the right call. 

Sobriety 

Sobriety is always the best option. The Emory Spoke and Emory Greek Life strongly encourage sobriety! Here are five cool ways to reject coke if you aren’t down to cave to peer pressure. 

1. ‘Playing in the grass is fine, but I draw the line at snow.’ 

1. ‘I don’t want my nose to collapse.’ 

1. ‘The only thing I smell are the flowers.’ 

1. ‘My mom told me drugs don’t make you cool.’ 

1. ‘This is a safe space if you ever choose sobriety.’
