<p>Here is a breakdown of Fraternity Rush:</p>
<p>You will first need to register online at usc.greekrecruitment.com and fill out your profile, basically a little resume so that houses that you visit in the fall can learn more about you.</p>
<p>Recruitment begins Sunday August 22nd with the All Row BBQ where every fraternity will be in McCarthy quad offering food to potential rushees. This is an opportunity for you to meet most of the fraternities.</p>
<p>The next day will be the House Tours. Potential rushees will hit the Row and get to check out the fraternity houses for the first time. Again its a great chance to meet the brothers and find out more about their events for the week.</p>
<p>**My strong recommendation is to check out as many houses as possible so that you get a more thorough understanding of the diversity of the chapters at USC.</p>
<p>Tuesday through Thursday: Each house will host a variety of events for rushees to attend, and in LA this means you get to do some really awesome stuff. Anything from paintballing, LA Gun Club, Angels/Dodgers game, lazer tag, go cart racing, golfing. Basically they are brotherhood events where you can see how the house interacts with each other.</p>
<p>Friday night is Blue Chip Dinner which is a more formal occasion and by invite only. Over the course of the week, houses will narrow down which guys they want and will invite them back. Blue chip is really fun because you also get to meet the other guys interested in the house and get to know them a bit better.</p>
<p>After blue chip houses will have meetings and vote on their new pledge class.</p>
<p>If you get throughout the week you are welcome to attend another houses event and the IFC also hosts a secondary rush event the week after which will be on campus and provide another opportunity to meet other houses you have not checked out.</p>
<p>A few important things to note:
- Recruitment week is totally alcohol free.
- You must register online before hand or at a fraternity house. Website is usc.greekrecruitment.com
- You are not guaranteed a spot in a house, but there are lots of opportunities to join, especially the secondary recruitment event.</p>
<p>The process is pretty much the same in the spring except there is not the all row bbq.</p>
