Every time I walk to class I see shirts screenprinted to read, "RUSH DZ" or Sig Tau's wearing shirts informing me that four out of five moms prefer Sig Tau over others. Every email I check has events like KTE's "Nacho Regular Girl" night or fraternities going bowling. What does it mean? We are smack in the middle of Recruitment Season.
Each fraternity or sorority is on the hunt for new members who meet the standards and ideals of their organizations whether those standards are to be active, self reliant, and trustworthy, or to value learning, leadership, excellence, benefit, and integrity.
No matter what group you're interested in joining, just keep in mind that the University has a few minimum standards for membership. You must have 12 or more credits and a GPA that is a 2.25 or above. If you don't meet these minimums and a group is still offering you a bid, their organization is either breaking the rules (known as taking undergrounds) or they are not recognized by the University.
As I pass the brightly colored rush shirts and see my inbox full of recruitment schedules I'll keep wishing all the Greeks a successful recruitment, and hoping the potential new members find their perfect fit!
GREEK NEWS UPDATES:
Alpha Sigma Tau: The sisters of AST would like to say CONGRATULATIONS to the Alpha Nu New Member Class!
Alpha Xi Delta: The women of Alpha Xi will begin recruitment on Monday September 11th and will continue for two weeks. Wednesday September 13th is philanthropy night in Library Room 237. Thursday is Preference Invite Only and Friday is Bid Day! But don't worry, if you miss the first week of rush they'll be holding another starting with a Game night Monday September 18th in the Game Room.
Gamma Sigma Chi: The GSX ladies will begin recruiting on September 11th and continue the rest of the week. Wednesday September 13th the sisters and potential new members will be going bowling at the Bowler in LaVale. If you need a ride there call Kelly at 301-503-1425. If you get hungry on Thursday head over to 166 Maple Street Apt.A at 5pm for Spaghetti Dinner with the sisters.
Phi Mu Delta: The brothers of Phi Mu Delta fraternity are new to campus, as they were recognized in May of 2006. They stand for Brotherhood, Service, and Democracy. For more information on the fraternity contact Chris Wedding at cwedding0@frostburg.edu.
Until next time....There's more to Greek life than bake sales and keg stands.
