Do you feel lost or confused when hearing unfamiliar terms or phrases?
We have all been there!

Rushing
The act of Rushing a fraternity can consist of attending a series of social events and gatherings that allow a current fraternal organization to get to know you. Each institution has its own particular style for conducting rush.

Potential New Member
A student who is not yet affiliated with a chapter and is interested in joining a fraternity.

BID
When a group decides which new members they would like to join their organization, they give them a “Bid”, which is an offer to join. When a student receives this Bid, they are able to accept, deny or defer the bid to join that fraternity.

Pledging
-
Pledging is typically around 6 weeks soon after one is given a formal bid. Pledging can very between each organization.

Feel free to ask any organization their pledging process and what they do during that time.
