2. How does the rush period work?

The rush period is a process where clubs and prospective members get to know each other and both make decisions about desired membership.

3. How long is the rush period?

The rush period lasts approximately two weeks, with one additional week for clubs to vote and bids to be offered.

The purpose of rushing is to meet and get to know members of all clubs. Your experience will be enhanced by attending as many events and rushes as possible. Women who choose to rush must attend at least one rush for 4 of the 6 different clubs in order to be matched with a bid. Men who choose to rush must attend at least one rush for 3 of the 5 different clubs in order to be matched with bid.
