<p>I’m rushing. Supposedly the best chapters on campus are DChi and PiKapp. I have to agree also.</p>
<p>again, it isnt about joining the supposed best it is about joining where you feel comfortable. i myself am in a middle tier fraternity but with my brothers for life, whom i would do anything for.</p>
<p>I’ve considered rushing every year but have been turned off for several reasons.</p>
<p>-I’m chinese. There are very few minorities in fraternities so I don’t know how comfortable I would feel.
-I just can’t see myself as a member of a fraternity. I feel like I fit in more with people not in fraternities than in fraternities.</p>
<p>I know the benefits are many but I just don’t know. Maybe i’ll go through rush once and see how I feel about it.</p>
<p>BTW, I had no idea that TKE was the largest fraternity in the USA. Everyone hates them here.</p>
<p>again only do it if you are comfortable with your potential brothers. i know a few lambdas at clemson and an sae and ato</p>
<p>I rushed last fall!!! and I’m on staff for 2010-2011. So fun! Even if you don’t plan on joining you should rush to get free stuff and make some new friends =]</p>
<p>get great t-shirts, i prefer collecting sorority shirts now since im in a fraternity.</p>
<p>What pierre said (except the Chinese thing). I’m slightly introverted… I’m very social with my group of friends, but it’s not a big group of friends. I’m also not that into sports for instance.</p>
<p>i’d think you’d surprise yourself if you find the right people.</p>
<p>I desperately want to rush but I don’t know how the brothers would react to me being gay. I mean last year I went to a billion frat parties… and I moved in two days ago and I’ve talked to guys from a bunch of different frat houses and they never like harass me for being there… I just don’t know if they’d want me as a brother LOL.
There is a frat on campus with two openly gay people but it doesn’t have a good rep and I’ve hooked up with one of the brothers so it’d be awkward to have to see him all the time =x</p>
<p>you’d be surprised. most people wont have an issue as long as you are cool and down to earth, and not extremely flamboyant. we had a gay brother last year and no one had an issue with him, and there were other gay guys in fraternities whom had no issues with their brothers.</p>

<p>Here’s an interesting article about a frat from GW… [Frat</a> Boys at GW Rush to Undo Homophobic Stereotypes - The Sexist - Washington City Paper](<a href=“http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2009/09/30/frat-boys-at-gw-rush-to-undo-homophobic-stereotypes/]Frat”>http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2009/09/30/frat-boys-at-gw-rush-to-undo-homophobic-stereotypes/)</p>
<p>You’re probably not going to GW, but is just goes to show that some frats will embrace you for who you are</p>
<p>I want to rush when I transfer, but not sure if I’ll impress, being not white at a 80% white school will pretty much set me back.</p>
<p>Most of their albums are pretty great</p>
<p>:p</p>
<p>yes rush is a great band, but don’t worry about not being white. at my school which is 90% white, many of the minorities went greek</p>
<p>Collect Sorority T-shirts?</p>
<p>yes, from events and what not and other various activities.</p>
<p>various activities such as study sessions and tutoring</p>
<p>that is it exactly</p>
<p>It’s the third day into rush for us. I’ve been going out and getting free food and everything. I think what’s the funniest thing about rush is the sororities at the Frat houses spreading rumors about the other Fraternities.</p>
<p>I’m going to rush Lambda Lambda Lambda</p>
