Frequently Asked Questions

A Sorority Is...
Many college women seek something more than classes and casual friends. Sorority membership, which begins as a part of college life, provides a lifetime of learning and involvement. Sororities are sisterhood organizations with chapters at accredited colleges and universities. As extended family units, sororities offer warm, caring atmospheres which encourage individual development. Sororities promote sound scholarship, leadership ability, community outreach and life-long friendships. Sorority life will help you make the most of your college experience as you join together with women who share your interests and ideals.

What is Rush?
Rush offers a perfect opportunity to explore all groups on campus and become well acquainted with all groups before determining which one is best for you. aKDPhi Rush is a fun-filled week of scheduled activities designed for YOU, the rushee, to learn more about aKDPhi. It is a great opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. There is no obligation in joining, but the sisters of aKDPhi welcome anyone to participate in our rush week full of free food, games and entertainment! Does rushing mean that I have committed to joining aKDPhi? Absolutely not. Pledging a sorority is an important decision for both interested participants and the sisters of aKDPhi. Rushing is a non-commital period of time when you can learn more information about aKDPhi and we learn about you. We hope to see rushees attend as many rush events during the week as possible; through these various events, we hope you will have a chance to meet all of us and decide whether aKDPhi is something you wish to join.

What happens after rush?
After an informal interview, the bidding process begins. Upon accepting the bid, a rushee becomes a pledge of the sorority. During pledging, new members learn the traditions and history of our sorority as well as build the bonds of sisterhood within the pledge class and the active sisters. Many of our sisters consider pledging one of the most memorable experiences in their college life.
