They are generally about an hour and vary in content. For the most part, as formal events, smokers require coat and tie. Each organization has its own time for formal smokers, so there is no need to worry about attending one and missing another. Rush calendars are normally distributed at the formal smokers but can also be found around campus. The calendars consist of the various events being held throughout the week.
All events are free and open to all students.
Events include recreational activities like bowling or paintball, and sometimes more formal activities like Rush dances or socials. Rush finishes with the bid process, which is where membership is offered to interested individuals. A day of silence is observed between the extension of the bid and the potential acceptance. During this time, Fraternity members are prohibited from making contact with bidees other than casual talk in passing. Should the bid be accepted, most organizations hold a congratulatory function.
