What is Rush?
"Rush" is the
term used by fraternal and sororal organizations to describe
the period of time in which individuals can actively inquire
more information about a certain Organization that they are
interested in. Our Rush Week consists of a plethora
of events in which we offer individuals a glimpse of what
our Fraternity is about. We conclude our Rush Week
by interviewing individuals who, after attending our Rush
Week, continue to show ferverent interest in becoming an Ace.
Upon completion of our interview process we will give bids
to rushees who have proven to be determined, diligent, and
respectable.
Why Rush?
Prior to deciding which fraternity to join or pledge for one
should have a good understanding of what they are getting
involved with. Rush offers just that. Our rush will give you
a general overview of what our organization is about and will
also give you a chance to get to know the Active members before
make the final decision to pledge for our Fraternity.
If I rush does that
mean I have to pledge?
Just because
you attend our rush events it does not mean that you have
to pledge for EiS. Take your attendance at our rush events
as any other fun and rewarding experience.
What is the difference
between rush and Pledge?
During rush
you have no obligation, commitment, or affiliation with our
organization. Rush is merely an early opportunity for us to
get to know our rushees and for the rushes to get to know
the Active members. In pledging for EiS, an individual will
be expected to show a great level of commitment and dedication
for an experience that they will willingly embark upon. EiS
Pledges are expected to fulfill certain duties and responsibilities
to the fraternity during their pledge process.
How much does it cost
to attend rush or pledge for EiS?
Rush Week is
free for all individuals who are interested in finding out
more about EiS. However, for the EiS Pledge Process there
will be a reasonably priced fee. Our pledge fee is reasonable
in that 100% of the money that we accumulate will be redirected
towards those who are pledging.
What does pledging consist
of?
The Brothers
of Epsilon Iota Sigma have pride in the fact that their Pledge
Process is something of great benefit to all those who have
gone through it. The extracurricular activities that we offer
are most beneficial and rewarding to those who are ambitious
and actively in pursuit of finding their true potential as
human beings and as scholars. We offer a plethora of events
in which there are limitless gains for all those who are willing
to devote their time and their strength to.
Does EiS participate
in hazing?
We do not participate
in or initiate any form of hazing because we believe that
it is detrimental to the development and growth of individuals
who pledge for us. We do not believe in immersing our pledges
into demeaning and potentially harmful activities. Instead,
we focus on putting pledges in environments in which they
can attain the highest levels of mental and physical growth.
Will pledging affect
my grades?
Since we are
an Academic and Career-based Fraternity we have structured
our Pledge Process so that it is not detrimental to your academic
success. Being that one of our mottos is that “Everything
is possible, nothing is impossible” we believe that
every tasks can be handled and completed so long as an individual
has enough will power, determination, and commitment. We expect
our pledges to have or strive for superb time management skills.
Many of our Active members have proven to be very helpful
to all the Pledge classes in assisting them with developing
their time management skills.
