Rush TKE!
A college fraternity provides a young man with the opportunity to learn how to work together with people, whether
it be for the highest grades, the best homecoming float, a community service project, or merely to keep the house
clean. A fraternity provides a unique combination: family, home away from home, social organization, business and
organization, in which students can develop confidence as they acquire competence.
Rush is the time in Fall (Formal Rush) set aside for undergraduates to learn more about, and if they choose to do so,
join a fraternity. There is also Spring Rush (Informal Rush) for students who have decided they too want to become
part of a life-changing experience.
