Maybe its just me, but I would never pledge a fraternity that didn't have alcohol at a rush event.

The one and only rule for guys rush at my school was NO ALCOHOL. The last day of their rush were bid day parties (aka 5:01s because the ban ended at 5:00 that friday) I thought that was kind of a standard, is this not the case?

Well, we don't have alcohol during "formal rush" which is usually a 3 day period right before people get pinned. However, nobody really bids during formal rush. Real rush begins in June, and alcohol is at everything, be it beach parties, parties in various cities around the south, band parties once school starts, etc. The only events that are dry are potentially dangerous ones (daytime activities on the lake, skeet shooting, etc).

^Yeah, formal rush pretty much means nothing. All of our huge rush events are during the summer, whether it be trips to New Orleans, huge barbecues, all day band parties, etc. In fact, the FIJIs down here are having their Island party this weekend, huge rush event.

Depends on the School and HQ rulings though doesnt it?

I mean, I guess it could depend on the school. But I haven't ever visited one where the forbade giving out bids during the summer. Hell, I had some friends get their pins right after hs graduation ceremony was over.

The Sigma Chi's on our campus are the only ones with a house. They would hold parties during the orientation weekends for freshmen. A lot of the freshmen (guys and girls) would go to the parties instead of waking up in the morning and attending the informational things. They really got busted big time for it because it broke the school's rush rules. (The house is off campus so the only other thing they could do is bust them for alcohol.) As for the rest of the fraternities, the majority of them aren't around over the summer so there's not anyone there to rush guys.

This may just be the difference between a city school and a college town school though.

/Not ripping on the Sigma X's it's just obvious what house I'd be talking about if anyone wanted to look.
