Sorority rush: the paper and the podcast

 Years ago, my late student Sue Mongell and I wrote a paper about sorority rush:

Mongell, Susan, and Alvin E. Roth. "Sorority rush as a two-sided matching mechanism." The American Economic Review (1991): 441-464.
 
Just over 20 years later, you can listen to a short NPR broadcast about it on Planet Money (which leaves out a few of the details;-)

"The answer lies in a classic economic concept used in contexts ranging from organ donation to New York public high schools. Today, we're exploring matching markets"
