Rush Advice

• Look into Greek Life with an open mind: There are many stereotypes surrounding Sororities & Fraternities, but it is up to you to find out what it is all about. Don't be influenced by people who have not taken the time to check it out. Go to the source!
  
• Meet other members from as many Sororities as possible: During rush, take the time to visit more than one or two chapters. Part of rush is finding the group that is right for you. If you only look at one or two, you may miss out.
  
• Ask questions: There are always questions when going into a new experience, so don't be afraid to ask as many questions as you want. You are entitled to the information as a prospective new member.
  
• Bring your friends with you when you go out for rush: New places and new people can be less threatening if you have a friend with you. Who knows? That friend might become your Sister.
  
• Don't pretend to be someone you're not: During rush, it is important to always be yourself. This helps you and the organizations that you meet to make the right decision in choosing the Greek family that is right for you.
  
• Don't rule Greek Life out, because your friends aren't Greek: One of the wonderful aspects of Greek Life is the opportunity not only to make new friends, but also to strengthen your bonds with old friends.
  
• Don't feel pressured into joining a particular Chapter, just because your friends or family are members: Just because a certain chapter was right for your mom, your sister, or your roommate, does not mean it is right for you.
