<p>I want A's, and I want to rush a good/top frat. How many hours a week are generally spent pledging? Can I get good grades in all my classes like a 3.5+ gpa this fall while pledging?</p>
<p>Figure minimum 10 hrs./wk. commitment to a Fraternity during pledging. (+/-). Some Fraternities emphasize academics at UIUC, so choose wisely…</p>
<p>If you want to pledge a top fraternity on campus, you will definitely need to invest a good amount of time. For my pledging process, it was about 15-20 hours a week (sometimes even more). Also, you have to save time for the “social events.” I agree with Savant007 in that some do lean towards academics more, but top ones are mostly social related and come with hazing. You seem like a bright student so as long as you manage your time well, you could get good grades.</p>
