What is the Rush?

The Rush period is when the fraternity holds events for interested men to meet the brotherhood. Events range from dinner, pool, movies, or just meeting for coffee. The focus of the rush is to fimiliarzie oneself with the brotherhood and enable the rushees to make a decision as to whether they want to join the fraternity.

Pledging the Fraternity

Through the pledge program, the pledges are provided opportunities to learn more about the fraternity, the brothers, and about the bond of brotherhood. During the pledge period, each pledge is assigned a 'big brother' who assists them through the pledge process. The pledge education program is accomplished through a variety of activities and projects which the fraternity expects all pledges to participate in.
