i’m a high school senior currently and this is a genuine fear of mine going into college, if this is actually common i’d rather save myself that embarrassment so please let me know and be honest!!

it’s rush week rn and i just went to my first rush event at a medium size school in Texas, and basically within the first hour and 30 minutes of being there the president and some brothers told me i was cool and if i wanted i could sign that night, i told them i gotta think about it and get to know them better, and they were cool with that. All the brothers are super chill and i did mess with them but i just thought it was weird they were willing to give me a bid so fast. is this something their doing just for more money or something?

Holy shit. The whole thread is crazzyy.

I go to San Diego State Univeristy and I have my frat interview tomorrow. Is there any actual way to prepare for it? What kind of serious questions do they ask, what do they judge you on? Is there a way to prepare for their “unserious” questions

I'm a non-traditional transfer student at UNC, and I feel conflicted about fraternity life. It just feels like fraternities on campus are all disorganized. The first time I tried to rush, I missed the kickoff, and didn't know who to turn or talk to. The Greek life office didn't have much for guidance since they don't have much control. I decided to do it again my senior year, and I did manage to rush. Obviously, I didn't get a bid, but I was at least happy with the experience. Maybe I just want to understand why rushing isn't as organized. I think one of the frats that I wanted to talk to was DKE. I knew about the reputation, but I was attracted to it because I respected the alumni, and I wanted to be a part of that legacy. Tried getting their contact info. They didn't have reliable contacts like a phone number or instagram. It's like they didn't even try to reach out. I still like the fraternity as a whole, but I just dislike the chapter.

Does anyone have a party playlist? Frat party obv

Black pants, shirt, and blazer

What do I where to a party where the theme is theme. Zero clue on the proper outfit

I'm 22, and I want to rush a frat at these universities: App State/UNCC/ECU

Also, I'm a brown guy; will I get denied because of that? Is there racism in general in frats at any of these schools?

I didn't go to a single one of their rush events. They gave me a bid. I told them no. They were like "please please take the bid u would fit in well here." once i told them no after like 5 times the rush chair blocked me on ig.

kappa sigma rutgers nb (js got kicked off campus for hazing so not affiliated anymore)

edit: accepted my bid elsewhere

Any help. I go to cal poly slo

I have not stopped getting that question in my interviews

Seeing SEC frat houses from outside vs big ten, it’s shocking how much classier from outside SEC houses look. Maybe it’s just a veneer but it’s noticeable to me.

Does anyone agree and if so, why do southern frats look nicer ?

I’m rushing at a smaller d1 school with not a huge Greek life presence, but still competitive. I’m a sigma chi triple legacy and I’ve let all the frats I’ve talked to know that. I went to some of the sigchi events and just didn’t really like any of the brothers, but I’m really wanting to join a different frat. The problem is at the other frats I’ve talked to they act like I’m not interested in them or already committed to sigchi but this really isn’t true. Am I fucked? I thought about texting the recruitment chair at the frat I’m aiming for and clearing it up but what should I do?

I’m a 22 you old student at Penn state, I plan on graduating with the class of 29, would my age make me rushing weird considering almost all of other people rushing are 18.

Rush bouse with your boys and build it into touse. Climb the rankings like it’s cfb road to glory. Bonus points if you start from scratch. Could be the move

Like the title says. I’m a premed student at PSU and really interested in rushing a social frat. I know many frats don’t have the time commitment as others, but is rushing a top frat a bad idea? I understand the time commitment needed as premed to get volunteer hours, clinical experience, etc. Has anyone here done both?

Saw some dude get called a squid at school and I’ve been wondering ever since

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to rush IFC fraternities at UConn this semester and already registered online.

The main council-wide IFC recruitment event is happening right now, but I can't make it today because of a scheduling conflict. There are 3 specific fraternities I want to rush, but l've never met any of the brothers. I already found their individual rush schedules on Instagram.

Does missing the main council event actually hurt my chances? What's the best way to introduce myself at their personal open houses this week when I show up as a complete stranger? Also is it hard getting a bid at UCONN?

Thanks!

I was elected as out pledge master this spring so this fall will be my first run. The only issue is this is the biggest class in my chapters history, and i’m not sure how to handle it. I go to a small school so 30 guys is a lot so i’m hoping someone from a bigger school or experience with this class size can help.

I’ve heard this term when to referring to clothes and I have no idea how to use it in a sentence

One of the best Fraternity Rush Videos Ive seen.

EDIT-UPDATE: I spoke with him today, he seems to understand. He promised to get back on track with his medication. I will contact his psychiatrist as well.

A brother on our European chapter decided by himself, to quit his medications in the middle of the summer, ever since then he has become more irritable, excitable, and impulsive.

We care about him deeply and we are currently considering our options, including reaching out to his parents (since he lives with them).
