| Why Rush? |
| College is a one-time chance for all of us. It is a chance to experience life away from home in a setting with peers whom are
all in the same age group and experiencing the same independence. It is a treasure trove for friendships, fun, and learning that may never again
be available to us after our studies are complete. By joining a Greek organization, you can embrace this opportunity. Becoming Greek gives you access to
immense social, scholastic, self-growth, and societal opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable to the non-Greek member. Additionally, fraternity members
have access to cheaper housing, and alumni support groups. However, most importantly, fraternity members have the opportunity to develop life-long
friendships. In no other setting will people be put in such a position to meet so many new people and gain so many valuable experiences. Joining a greek
organization is truely an unforgettable experience that will provide memories to last a lifetime. |
