Commuter School Rush

Professors.

Write to the professors on campus! Ask them for names of students that they believe would fit the mold of your fellow members. Outline your accomplishments and goals, and then ask if there are students that they could refer to you that they think would best represent the fraternity and the school. Provide your phone number, address, and email address for them to respond to you.

I would highly advise against this, especially at a state school in CA. Many public university professors are anti-greek, and at the school in question (CSUN), my own sisters were told to either take their letters off or leave the class by one professor.

I work in higher education, and I believe it is inappropriate to make such a request of professors and/or staff. It is not our job to find members for fraternities and sororities. Further, referring students in this manner could be a violation of FERPA.

I can't believe a professor at a public University in California would make students take off letters (I'm assuming a jacket or a sweatshirt) or leave class. Unless it is disruptive (clothing with profanity or showing all the goods) or inappropriate for the class (wearing stilletos for kick boxing) that professor has no right to tell people what to wear. I wonder if they have tenure?
