Does SMU have an actual rush week? Or is it all fall semester? The schedule seems very unclear.
rush week is before classes begin for spring semester. So think second or third week of january. If you want to go through recruitment as a sophomore or above you can do fall or spring. Their is informal recruitment on every campus with a spring recruitment to get to know people and such.
Just a tidbit of advice: Make sure you take a real photo/headshot to submit with your application. Don’t let Mom snap a photo of you sitting on the couch in a t-shirt. Fraternity Rush isn’t as formal as sorority rush, but it is formal. Start networking when you get on campus.
I heard from a guy at campus that Fraternity Rushing is mostly just networking. I agree with @Living61 . According to him, girls go through a tedious process, but for guys it’s more of a “hey I like you you’re cool” kind of thing.
Yes, it is just hanging out together. However, it is an entire semester. Don’t get out of control, mind your grades, be a good friend and a good student. They are watching.
Btw, there are some meetings to attend Fall semester. Be sure to watch your email and ask around
