HereICome's FRATERNITY Rush Thread!!!

HereICome · #1 01-19-2007, 12:40 AM

I decided to Rush for 3 fraternities and I think it starts next week. It won't be a formal rush, and it sounds like it will be pretty laid back. I read that fraternities offer in average about 7-8 bids during spring rush but the demand isn't huge either.

I don't understand what's happening. In the past semesters there would be GLO members everywhere trying to recruit people and handing out fliers and stuff, but right now school campus is totally dead. There isn't anyone in the campus. I wonder if anyone will be recruting this semester. The semester starts in 4 days and there is absolutely no sign of "greek life" anywhere in the campus, except for empty chapter houses outside of the campus. It's hard to tell what's going on.

There's probably more restrictions on rusher/rushee contact at your new school--contact regarding recruitment probably happens at a specific time and place. That would be my guess.

If all else fails and you're not finding anything out, contact the Greek Life/IFC advisor at your school and ask them how to find out about spring rush.

Thanks for advices. I think rush starts on wednesday so there will be people wearing colors on that day.

If a chapter runs 7 events in 7 nights in an informal rush, do I have to be present in all 7 events in order to receive a bid? One of the events of a house that I'm interested in clashes with one of my classes. I can still make it for the rest 6 events though.

at some point the fraternity may have an invitation only event-usually toward the end of the recruitment period. if the 7 events are all open events, and you are still feeling it for this fraternity, as event #6 nears, tell the president and the rush chairman that you will not be able to attend #6, due to a class conflict.

don't go in on the first night and tell this group about your class conflict-it might come off as you are assuming that you will still be around at that point in time. and honestly, you might end up not gelling with this fraternity and might not want to attend any more parties there. just give yourself a little time.

No, you do not need to attend all seven. If I were you, I would attend the first two or three nights at each house and then see what happens. If the guys want you, they will make a point to invite you back each night. At that point, you can tell them that you would love to, but you have class. On the other hand, if you don't get that sort of vibe, you may consider exploring your other options.
