Informal rush is a way to build membership through a much more relaxed, social setting. Informal rush is study breaks, movie nights, barbeques, and other events where rushees can meet sisters while they have a good time. During informal rush, rushees can learn about the chapter by talking to sisters who have experienced all that AEPhi has to offer.
Informal rush has a lot to offer to both sisters and rushees.
It is a very enjoyable time and allows everyone a greater opportunity to learn about each other in greater depth. Rushees often find that informal rush allows them to judge whether AEPhi is the right choice for them. Alpha Epsilon chapter holds informal rush in both the fall and the spring. Spring rush is held immediately following the conclusion of formal rush. Panhellenic rules prohibit any sorority from extending a bid for membership to any first-year student until the formal rush process has been completed.
