Recruitment
Why Rush?
Fraternity membership provides opportunities for academic assistance, leadership and organizational development, both planned and informal social activities, intramural competition, and social service events. Most importantly, all of these experiences result building
lifelong friendships which make your college days some of the most exciting and memorable of your life.
Most people are unfamiliar with the term process tends to be overwhelming for men simply because they aren't familiar with how it works. Rush is an informal recruitment process that typically occurs at the beginning of each semester. Lasting two weeks, rush is the period when fraternities hold recruitment events in order to meet new prospective members.
