Rushing as a Transfer Student

Here’s what happens on a more detailed level:

There are three “rounds.” Each round is invite-only and you’ll need to earn an invite by getting the brothers to like you. These can be anything from casino nights to bar nights. If you’re still in by the time you get a third invite, then it’s very likely you’ll get a bid. You just need to be sociable around as many brothers as possible.

I heard the average frat acceptance rate is around 10%. Rushing as a sophomore puts you at a slight disadvantage since most frats want freshman, but if you connect well with the brothers, it shouldn’t really make a difference. Spring rush also puts you at a disadvantage since a lot of frats scope out potential members in the fall and give them priority during the process.
