<p>How difficult is it in order to get into business frats(Alpha Kappa Psi, Delta Sigma Pi, and Phi Chi Theta) at michigan?</p>
<p>I’m in Phi Chi Theta. We usually have 100 to 150 people come out to rush (more in the fall than in the winter), and our pledge class usually ranges from 14 to 20 students in size.</p>
<p>Alpha Kappa Psi’s rush is equally as competitive.</p>
<p>Delta Sigma Pi is only for business school students and is less competitive to get into than PCT and AKPsi, but they’re still a strong fraternity.</p>
<p>I encourage you (and others interested in business fraternities) to go to both PCT’s and AKPsi’s info sessions early in the school year. The most frequently asked question during rush is “what’s the difference between the business fraternities?” and the answer is in the people and culture. Think of the difference between different firms in the same industry (PwC/Deloitte in accounting or JP Morgan/Bank of America in banking for example), and that gives you a good comparison to the differences between business fraternities.</p>
<p>What kind of qualities does a successful candidate possess? What is the business fraternity looking for in a pledge?</p>
<p>The biggest part of rushing is to be yourself. Don’t try to impress us. We’re not dumb, we know when you’re bs-ing us.</p>
<p>Another important part is showing your interest in business. We’re not expecting you to be a stock market expert, but you also can’t be a chem major with little business interest rushing just because your best friend is rushing.</p>
<p>And if your primary motivation for rushing a business frat is so it will look good on a business school application, I would advise you not to rush. Only about half of our brothers and sisters are in the business school. Your main motivation should be to make long-lasting friends, not use us for your personal aspirations.</p>
<p>Follow those three guidelines (1. Be yourself, 2. Show your business interest, 3. Rush for the right reasons) and you stand a pretty good shot at getting in.</p>
<p>I agree with what WolverineZ had to say. AKPsi and PCT are very competitive, DSP not as much. Also, watch out for for PGN. They are new (I believe they just started last semester) but definitely up and coming.</p>
