Rush stirs the fraternity into action at the beginning of each semester.
Students who attend various rush events are those that are interested in getting to know the brothers of AEPi. Likewise, the brothers attend rush to meet people who are interested in joining the fraternity and to judge who they would like to offer bids to. The rush concludes with AEPi's offers of bids to various students, the first step on the road to brotherhood. Everyone is invited to join us in our festivities, and many people come just to have fun. Oftentimes a person will not initially have the intention of rushing a fraternity but will enjoy the events so much that their interest begins to grow.
