The term RUSH confuses a lot of people who don't know what it means.
RUSH is choice.
When you rush a fraternity, such as, Sigma Alpha Mu at Illinois State University, you are choosing to associate yourself with that fraternity. This choice can be one most memorable decision that you make. Since the beginning of 1997, Sammy's at Illinois State has asserted itself as the most proud fraternity on campus. The reason Sammy's is so proud is because of the strong friendships between its members and associates. This pride illuminates in our activities and events that we participate in.
