What is rush?

What is rush?

• A. The formal initiation ceremony
• B. Fun time picking up the girls chosen for membership
• C. A monthly meeting
• D. A fundraising event

Answer: (B)

Rush is the recruitment period when fraternities and sororities seek out and evaluate prospective members. It involves information sessions, social events, and interviews so both sides can decide if there’s a good fit. It isn’t the formal initiation ceremony that happens after bids, nor a regular monthly meeting, nor a fundraising event. The emphasis is on getting to know potential members and allowing both sides to determine mutual interest and fit, with respectful, voluntary participation.
