Greek rush invades
by Karl Benacci
co-features editor
At colleges all across America,
Greek organizations are continually
looking for prospective members.
These Greek organizations hold vari
ous activities to attract student inter
est. They are often known as rush
events. Fraternity recruitment at
Behrend will run from September 11-
22. Each fraternity will host activities
one day per week. The sororities have
also begun to hold informal recruit
ment parties. All Greek organizations
have deferred rush, which means that
they cannot offer membership bids to
students until their second semester
standing. Due to this rule, the sorori
ties hold their formal recruitment
early in the spring semester.
Rush is a Greek term that describes
a process in which potential members
that are interested in learning more
about Greek organizations go to
events to learn more about the orga
nizations. During this process, stu
dents get to know the organization,
and the organization gets to know the
students. During this time, students
should ask questions about the orga
nization and be prepared to he asked
questions about themselves.
Greek organizations do a number
of things to prepare for rush.

"One of the main things a Greek or
ganization will do is plan events for
the day that they pick to have one of
their rush events on. This year, Rush
week is two weeks long so every fra
ternity gets a different day each week
and they are responsible for planning
whatever event they would like to
have that night. Another thing they do
is to hang up posters all around cam
pus to get people to attend all of their
events," said Michael Chase, Vice-
President of the Interfraternal Coun
cil.
After recruitment, membership in
vitations, also referred to as bids, are
handed out to some students, and if
the student accepts the bid, they will
begin a new member education
(pledge) process.
However, there are a number of
rules that must be followed during
rush. In order for a student to be eli
gible for a membership bid, they must
have already completed their first se
mester as a full time student and
earned a minimum of twelve credits.
It is against university policy for first
semester students to pledge to a Greek
organization.
All students interested in Greek life
are urged to attend Greek oriented
events so that they can find out more
about the organizations and what they
have to offer. Shawna Pelasky, Coor-

Behrend
dinator of Greek Life and Student
Leadership Programs, said, "Greek
Life is a wonderful way to find life
lasting relationships, gain and develop
leadership, interpersonal and commu
nication skills and learn more about
yourself. Participation in a Greek or
ganization also provides students with
numerous opportunities to participate
in community service and educational
programs."
Erin Baker, President of the
Panhellenic Council, added, "The
Greeks do a lot more for the campus
than just provide parties on the week
ends as many assume. The Greeks
put on lots of social, educational, and
service programs such as Meet the
Greeks Week, Greek Week, the Greek
Awards Banquet, the Juvenile Diabe
tes Walk to Remember, the Greek
Speaker Series "Sex Under the Influ
ence" (which takes place next Tues
day at 7:00 in the Reed Commons)
among several other events. Also, the
Greeks represented in other organiza
tions and positions within SGA, LEB,
RAs and others. Some of the most
involved students who make differ
ences on this campus are Greek."
