Well, Sigma Pi had their Pig Roast/Luau last night and it was a HUGE success! About 500 people came out for it, and the chapter got the names of about 30 guys who are interested in Rushing them! On our campus that is an awesome turnout! It's great cause these guys worked so hard and they are so stoked! The next big fraternity event is the Alpha Kappa Lambda's Back to School Concert with about four bands next weekend. They'll probably have 300+ people come out for that too.
Our "official" rush week isn't until the third week of the semester, but we encourage the chapters to hold events and do things on campus to promote their organization, Greek Life, and campus life. So far two out of the four IFC groups are doing this and seeing big payoff. We have to work very hard to promote Greek Life in general here, because since we have no houses on campus, many freshmen and transfer students don't even realize we have a Greek system by the time rush starts!
For everyone's info, here are the fraternities at SIUE:
Alpha Kappa Lambda
Phi Kappa Psi
Sigma Phi Epsilon (only one w/ a house, 2 miles off-campus)
Sigma Pi
"Official" Rush Week is 8-12, but most chapters will have the majority of their guys lined up by then.
