Nephew's IFC Recruitment

[LaneSig]

After several years on GC, I get to write a recruitment story.

My nephew moved to campus this week and already began the rush process to join a fraternity. I'm going to call him Clark Kent, because his nickname in school was "Superboy". Yes, I am biased, but he's a great kid. Class president for junior and senior years, football team (got bumped to varsity when he was a sophomore), a really good wrestler (went to state several times & offered a couple of wrestling scholarships, but didn't want to continue), and high school choir.

Clark is from a large metropolitan area in his state and is attending a regional state school. Several of his friends and others from his high school go to this university.

Since he's Clark Kent, and I loved comics growing up, the code will be superhero teams:

Justice League
Justice Society
Legion of Super Heroes
Titans
Outsiders
X-Men
Avengers
Defenders

There is another fraternity on campus that colonized last year. Knowing Clark and knowing the national rep of this fraternity, I think he would be a great fit. But, for reasons given later, he has already decided not to consider them.

He had his pre-Rush meeting this week. This is a campus with informal IFC recruitment. Rushees can go to as many or as few groups as they choose.

Clark did do some summer rush activities with two of the chapters, Legion of Super Heroes and Titans. He enjoyed both, but leaned closer to one than the other.

I can't remember when parties officially begin, so I will update as soon as he checks in with me.
