It's July... what have you done to help with Rush?

It's almost July, actually. What have you done to help with Rush so far?

One of the things my chapter likes to do for recruitment, is during Freshman orientation over the summer, we set up a table, with trophies, pictures, awards and LEAD books and go out and talk to incoming freshman and their parents and have them come over to our table and show them and tell them what we are all about. We show and explain LEAD to the parents (which parents just love to hear if you haven't tried it), and explain the social, educational, and networking aspect of the fraternity.

We do pretty much the same thing at orientation. I'm not really connected with my hometown, and only like 10 people from there are even at school here. We've got some big parties planned on the lake with a riverboat dinner cruise. Just got back from a pretty sweet rush party in Texas at a brother's house, we got a local guy that he knew come play and it was awesome. Solid guys, and great time with my bros that I haven't seen in a month.

Here's the tentative UCO activity schedule:

June 16- BBQ and Volleyball at 1:00 p.m.

July 4- BBQ and Volleyball at 5:30 p.m.

July 20- Illinois River Float Trip
Leave the house at 6:30 p.m.

August 4- End of Summer Bash at 1:00 p.m.


-- I'm thinking they'll have to do something other than volleyball. I stopped by campus yesterday taking the wife to a summer band thing. The volleyball pit was flooded. How it'll be ready for anything other than water polo anytime soon is beyond me.

Perhaps you can just combine the volleyball with the float trip!

I think they're about to close that river down because of all the rain lately. It's too much for canoes to handle even right now (too fast). They may be closing it down for rafts if the water gets much higher.
