General Information About Rush
We are pleased that you are considering
rushing and possibly joining a Greek organization. We
have assembled this page to let you know just
what we are and to aid you in your decision of
which Fraternity to join.
This is a tough decision to make, but we at TKE
have all been faced with the same decision and
feel that you should consider joining a Fraternity
for the extensive benefits which we can offer
you as a Fraternity For Life. Your choice
is to belong, and your challenge is to become. The below Q&A
has been designed to help you better understand what the
process will involve.
What is all this fraternity stuff?
What is rush?
Rush is a two week process in which interested students at NCSU can come and enjoy dinner and various activities with brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon. Rush is the most important activity of any fraternity being that it brings in new members which is the lifeblood of any organization. All of our rush activities are approved by the NCSU Dept. of Greek Life and published on our website at the beginning of each semester. Some of the activities include broomball, movie nights, sumo wrestling, mixers with sororities, Charlie Goodnights Comedy Club, and pool parties.
What is a bid?
A bid is a formal invitation to join the fraternity. All fraternities and sororities hand out bids to those who they feel best exemplify the ideals of their organization. All recipients of a bid are encouraged to speak to their families and friends before accepting. Joining a fraternity is a decision that affects family, friends, and the fraternity itself.
What will I be doing as a pledge?
Very simply, a lot of things. Our pledge process is a very quick yet busy process. It is a time for new members to get to know our brotherhood better as well as learn more about our history. Our brothers will closely monitor pledges so that they do well in school while also getting involved with our chapter. We help with and teach some of the most important principles of college life, including time management.
