If they became friends, and the freshman were of the caliber that the fraternity sought, he would be asked to join. Similar to how current VU fraternities help move freshman into their dorms during Fall Welcome. Today the Rush process can be very complicated and overwhelming, though it still remains as a process that seeks to introduce you to fraternities. Here at Valparaiso University, we have delayed Rush, which means that freshman are only permitted to Rush their second semester. First semester, the Fall semester, is restricted to upperclassman rush.
Rush can be a great deal of fun, as well as informative.
Determine why you want to join. Depending upon your interests and needs, there may be a few groups in which you would be most interested. Every group will offer social, service, athletic, and alumni events at different levels. Try to list your priorities so you may better match your needs to the offerings a group may have. Ask questions of those who are not involved.
