The Pledge Period: Commitment and Growth
If you’ve been invited to pledge a fraternity, it means you’re one step closer to officially becoming a brother. The pledge period is designed to help you get acclimated to the fraternity, its members, and its traditions. During this time, you’ll participate in activities that promote bonding, teamwork, and personal development. While the pledge period can be challenging, it’s also a time of growth and learning.
Throughout this phase, you’ll be tested on your knowledge of the fraternity’s history and values, and you'll have the chance to prove your commitment and dedication. At the end of the pledge period, successful pledges are initiated as full members, joining the fraternity’s brotherhood for life.

The Rush Process: Building Connections
Once you’ve identified a fraternity you’re interested in, the next step is the “rush” process. Rush is a period where potential new members meet with fraternity brothers to learn more about the organization and showcase their personalities and values. During rush, you’ll attend events, such as social gatherings, open houses, or dinners, where you can interact with current members.
The goal of rush is to form meaningful connections, as the fraternity wants to get to know you just as much as you want to get to know them. It’s important to be yourself, ask questions, and be open to the experience. At the same time, you should be evaluating if the fraternity’s values align with your own.

The First Step: Researching Fraternities
The journey of joining a fraternity begins with research. Every fraternity has its own culture, values, and activities, so it's important to find one that aligns with your personal interests and goals. Start by attending informational events and talking to current members to get a feel for the fraternity’s community. This is your opportunity to ask questions about the fraternity's history, philanthropic efforts, social events, and the types of bonds they build.
It's also important to think about what you want to gain from the experience—whether it’s leadership opportunities, lifelong friendships, or professional networking. Researching different fraternities will help you make an informed decision and choose the one that’s the best fit for you.
