Fall rush question
by: UGA
I have heard some fraternities fill their pledge classes over the summer. I have also heard some fill all their in state spots but hold a few for out of state. Is this true, and if so which ones?

it is true that most fraternities do start rush at the end of second semester and go throughout summer until formal rush, but only the better fraternities will actually be able to fill most of their pc during the summer as they have more connections and such. there are a lot of rankings on this site and not all of them are accurate but there's mostly a general consensus of: (no specific order in rows im just throwing them in tiers there are definitely some groups that are better than others in certain tiers but this is a decent overall rank)
Top tier - KA, SAE, Chi Phi, FIJI, SNU, ATO
Upper mid/mid - PDT, SX, DSP, PKA, PKP, KS
Lower but definitely still relevant/niche - Sig ep, beta, AEPI, AGR
All of these houses are worth rushing and have definitely already started their rush processes and likely have accepts. Bids get easier as you go down the list but like I said, all of these houses are worth rushing around at IMO. KA and SAE don't take many in state kids at all, I know for sure Chi Phi does. Snu, ato, and fiji also take out of state kids. SX does not take as many out of state kids, but the rest of the houses in that upper/mid tier take out of state kids so you'll definitely be fine unless you're just a weirdo

don't expect a bid the first night you meet a group unless you have a good friend already in the chapter....fraternities need to know about you - are you going to be a good brother? and importantly, are you going to be someone they can trust with the things that go on there. So, even if they like you, it may take some time to make sure that you are a good fit.

So I am out of state and planning on coming down for a weekend. Might be able to swing two. Can't imagine I will get a bid in a weekend? Sounds really different than my state university where bids, even for top 4, really don't go out til late summer.

Most good places won’t do first night bids, especially if you’re out of state and don’t know anyone

Expand your scope. Focus on places that have reached out to you. Just coming up for a weekend and going around to parties unless you have been contacted isn't likely to get you a bid.

There is no way you made a call and obtained that information. Only people who know that type of stuff are the rush chairs. Whoever you are, you are full of s-hit and not a OOs first year. What ever your goal is here you are lying. Its all fluid. You are full of crap.

In state but no connections. Getting texts so I know I am on lists and have been to a couple of things but went to a packed band party yesterday and never met a brother just a bunch of other rushees. I'll keep going but not sure how to meet anyone at those sorts of things. \n\n\n\n\n
