can you still get a bid outside of rush week?
by: QuestionJust rushed for fraternities and only made it to 4 houses. How do people do this in 4 nights? You spend time getting to know a house meeting the brothers and before you know it is 10:30pm and you don't have any time left. Plus if you have classes or work you can't make it lunch or dinners. Anyhow, I did not find a house or get a bid this week. My question is, can you ever visit houses or get a bid outside of rush week and if so how? Seems like the Sororities have a system that runs a lot more efficiently and effectively. They also rush the week before school starts and have all day to dedicate to this process. I can't imagine how many quality guys slip through the cracks because of lack of time. Any advice is appreciated thanks.

The key is spending a small amount of time on day 1 and day 2 at the 4 houses you like and then the next days narrow down your time. Kind of like girl rush because they spend 10 minutes at a sorority house sometimes.
You need to go there for dinner and lunches and when they know you are there because you want to become a member then there is a better chance of getting a bid. Be up front with the brothers and tell them you want to be part of the chapter. If you are floating in and out of 4 houses all week they won't get to know you and they won't think you are really interested. If you did not get a bid this term spend you time around the 2 houses you liked the most. Try to become friends with their brothers and then during spring term go to those houses again. It will work out.

Some fraternities will still extend bids. Contact your friends that just accepted bids to place and if you know brothers in other houses and just tell them your still interested and if you could meet more guys and come to meals. If not you'll meet more people and can go out in spring.
