Rush
Rush is held the first few weeks of each spring and fall semester. We usually schedule five events; you should plan to attend at least three. Rush events are designed so that prospective members can learn more about the sorority and so the current sisters can get to know the rushes. Everyone is welcome to attend!
Receiving a Bid
At the end of rush, those who are still interested in pursuing membership are scheduled for an interview. We try to keep the interviews short and fun, so you shouldn't worry! Interviews simply help us to decide if a prospective sister is a good match for the sorority and if the sorority is a good match for her. Most rushes who interview will receive a bid. Some semesters, however, more people rush than we have space to accept. Rushes who are not offered a membership bid are always welcome to rush again the following semester.
Membership Candidacy
Rushes who receive a bid become membership candidates, or MCs. MCs attend weekly classes to learn about the history and guidelines of the sorority and participate in two service projects.
Activation
A few weeks before the end of the semester, MCs take an exam based on what they have learned during their classes. MCs who have fulfilled all their participation requirements are then activated as full sisters in a special ceremony.
