Rush has been a big focus for us this year. Throughout the fall semester we worked hard to reach out to as many rushes as possible. By networking through our high schools and hosting a number of events to meet first years, we were able to get a good sense for many of the potential rushes. This effort proved to be very successful in finding some strong candidates before the rush process had even begun. In the spring rush went fairly smoothly despite the change in the rush schedule, which required us to drop a couple of our events. We were able to have well over 300 students come through our house and meet the brotherhood. We arrived at 19 candidates, with a wide range of backgrounds, whom we are excited to see join the brotherhood and contribute to the fraternity in the future.
