(n): The last-ditch attempt among college seniors to find new
hook-up partners or consummate a
long-standing crush before graduation. While the term may refer to the final year of college, it is usually understood to
mean the final semester or trimester, especially during the last (spring) weeks of
school. With the impending end of a college environment, the connotation of scramble is desperate solicitation and confession. The practice is common among both men and women.
(v): to engage in a senior scramble, or to be party to a senior scramble.
