What is Rush?

Rush is an informal period of a few weeks at the beginning of both Fall and Spring semester where undergraduates can the Fraternities that they would like to become a member of. If you are favored by a Fraternity, they will give you a BID. A BID is the formal invitation to pledge a Fraternity. At the end of our pledge term you will have proven that you deserve membership to Delta Sigma Phi, and you become an Active Brother of the Fraternity.


Why join a fraternity?

Academics:
The academic portion of your university career is a major determinant in your future success. The primary purpose of the fraternity system is to encourage and develop high scholastic achievement among its members. Just over 50% of students in a university or college end up graduating. However, if you belong to a fraternity, your chances of graduating increase to over 70%! Fraternity members help each other succeed!

Leadership:
85% of Fortune 500 executives - were all fraternity men
85% of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices since 1800 - were all fraternity men
76% of U.S. Congress members - were all fraternity men
and 98% of ALL U.S. Presidents since 1825 - were all fraternity men

Brotherhood:
Brotherhood is the foundation of the fraternity experience. Every man contributes to this aspect. Brotherhood combines the concept of individualism within the framework of mutual cooperation. As a fraternity brother you will form friendships unlike any found in other organizations. Brotherhood is not conformity - no fraternity is made up of members who are exactly alike. By choosing to become a member of a fraternity, you will meet brothers who grow to become your closest friends - those who will cheer you on when you're successful, and who will support you when the going gets tough.

As you can clearly see, being in a fraternity builds leadership skills. In the fraternity, you will be "in charge" of an event or a duty. Everyone in the fraternity is a leader, whether you're an officer, an executive, on a committee, or just a participant. You will learn by doing. You'll learn how to manage a budget, run effective meetings, speak in public, motivate others... skills that will help you in college and throughout your life. These days it takes more than just a degree to get a good job - it takes leadership experience, and by running for an office in a fraternity, you can get as much as you can handle.
