Rush - Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rush?
Rush is the process by which students engage in professional and social settings for the purpose of getting to know chapter members as well as for chapter members to get to know potential new Brothers.

What can I expect from Rush?
During Rush, you will meet a lot of people. There will be different rush events, each with its own focus. Usually there is two social events and two professional events. These events will allow you to see the social and professional aspect of the fraternity.

How can I make the most out of Rush?

  1. Attend as many events as possible! The more brothers that can recognize you and remember information about you, the better!
  2. Try not to spend too much time speaking with a particular Brother. It is best to spend about 5-10 minutes with each Brother so that you may get to know others.
  3. Take the time to think about why you are rushing. Do you think that AKPsi is right for you? Are you ready to grow and develop professionally so that you will be more marketable to businesses? Can you see yourself being a part of our chapter?

Would I be able to join Alpha Kappa Psi if I am in a social sorority or fraternity?
Yes! Alpha Kappa Psi currently has of members who belong to other Greek organizations and those who do not; however, it is important to realize that Alpha Kappa Psi is a large time commitment, particularly during pledging, that cannot be overlooked.

If I do not get a bid the first time can I rush again?
Yes! We highly encourage everyone to rush again if they do not receive a bid the first time around and truly want to join Alpha Kappa Psi.

What is pledging?
When you are accepted to pledge for Alpha Kappa Psi, you will take part in a 9 week long pledge process in which your skills are tested and your weaknesses are refined. During this time, you and your pledge class will take part in projects where you will learn the true meaning of Brotherhood, Professionalism and Teamwork.
