Advice for Fraternity Rush?
Hey all - My little bro is going through fraternity rush at Middle Tennessee State University in the fall. Any suggestions, tips, advice, etc.?

I would say - tell him to look at as many fraternities as he can and not to join someplace just because his friends or roommate are joining there. Also even if one chapter is more "prestigious" than another and shows interest in him, if he likes another better and feels he fits in better there, go with the latter. It's no good to be in the "best fraternity on campus" if you don't like your brothers or vice versa.

33girl, DITTO!:)
The main thing is fitting with the members where He would like to end up. They will be His Brothers for a long time. Greek Organizations will fluctuate from year to year. Up now, but could be down next year. Also, I suggest that He check out through National Web Sites to get a picture of what each represents. Chapters, where and how many. In a growth pattern or just circling. Chaity events. Check other chapters web sites to see what they are doing Fraternaly. Dang, it is so much easier to do now than in the Good Old days of rushing. Back when we did formal Rush, Guys went to 3 Houses a night. Six Greek Organizations in two nights was just a cattle call!:( Good luck to Him and Hope He finds a Fraternity that works for Him and Them.:) |
Looking at all the house
I feel one of the biggest downfalls of guys rush is the fact that we don't get to see all the house. I know my rush term, we had bus tours and it allowed us to check out all the house and i felt it was a better choice for me, but i know many guys mainly on our campus get guys before abd provent them to check out other house. In the long run, many of those people drop. I had friends that rushed other house and dropped because they felt people werent was cool as they thought they were. The only thing i can say is to tell your brother to checkout all the house and tell him to think about it. Eveyone is meant to be in a fraternity, it is just about being in the right one for you. TKE for me was the best choice i could ever made, and i almost rushed another house because of my roommate. So be your own man and don't be afraid doing it by yourself, because you will end up meeting some cool people.

I don't know, because I'm neither male nor Greek, but tell him good luck from me, okay?

Tell him to check out as many of the fraternities as possible during rush and really get to talk to the guys. He should accept a bid from the chapter where he feels the most at ease! Basically-- shop around and go with what feels right!

Tell him to go Pi Kapp…but seriously I would tell him to meet with the Greek advisor. I’m not sure how things work at that particular campus but when it comes to fraternities most Greek advisors will give the most honest / nonbiased answer. I know when I went through rush only one fraternity used their philanthropy as a selling point everyone else was just party this, girls that. Ask him what he’s looking for. Sometimes writing down what you want to get out of joining a fraternity makes selecting which one to go with a lot easier.
