Fall 2009 Rush!

Hello everybody! If you are interested in Sigma Alpha at the University of Maryland, you've come to the right place! The sorority is a great place to meet women with similar interests, and make some great friends. To Rush for the sorority, you must attend two of the Rush events. Then, if you are still interested in joining you will do an interview with the sisters of the sorority. After that, if you are accepted, you go through a Membership Candidate process where you learn more about the sorority, it's objectives, vision, etc. Each Rush class does a volunteer event, a fundraiser event, and a social event with the Rush class. This gives you time to decide if you like the sorority and to get to know the women in it.

The Rush schedule is as follows:

• Tuesday, September 8th at 6:30 pm - Ice Cream Party at the Campus Farm
  Meet at the campus farm where you will get a tour and have an Ice Cream party!
  
  
• Thursday, September 10th at 6:30 pm - Alpha Gamma Rho cookout
  Come meet the men in the Agriculture fraternity and get some free food!
  7511 Princeton Avenue
  
  
• Sunday, September 13th at 2:00 pm - Founder's Day Celebration
  Meet some of the Sigma Alpha Alumni on the weekend of our chapter foundation anniversary
  8400 Potomac Avenue
  
  
• Tuesday, September 15th at 5:30 pm - Service Event to Benefit Military Families
  Join us in this service event in Animal Science room 0408
  
  
• Wednesday, September 16th at 5:15 pm - Dairy Farm

The Rushes are NOT required to bring any food, money, etc to the events. This is on us! We want to show you what a great sorority Sigma Alpha is!
