What is Rush?
Rush is the term used for
the fraternity recruitment period of new members.
Formal Fall recruitment consists of three structured days that include
an orientation meeting and mandatory visitation
of each chapter house to meet members and learn
more about fraternity life. After visiting each chapter,
potential new members are free to visit any of the chapters for
the next two days. Invitations (bids) to
join a fraternity can be given out and accepted
at any time during the recruitment period.

Why
Join a Fraternity?
By joining the Greek community, a wealth of opportunities will be awaiting you. You will have the chance to develop new friendships, take part in meaningful campus activities and community service events, and develop your leadership skills. Fraternities were founded on the principles of scholarship, leadership, community service, and development of lifelong friendships. All fraternities have something unique to offer, and membership in a fraternity will add a new dimension of leadership, academic involvement, and fun to your college career.
