About IFC Rush

Rush Statement
Rush at VSU is intended to give everyone an equal opportunity to explore the vast array of fraternities that differ in ideals, goals, chapter men and approach to fraternity life. Although all fraternities may have the same general framework for success, it is important to know that everyone can fit into fraternity life no matter your personality or lifestyle. With 9 fraternities comprising the Interfraternity Council, we can assure you that that you can find a fraternity to fit your expectations.
Rush Registration 
Registering for rush is simple and easy. Just go to the IFC main page on the VSU Greek Life website and click the “RUSH REGISTRATION” link. You will be asked several questions. Please take time to fill out the questions as completely as possible. This information will be shared with the fraternities. Rush is FREE for men. Even if you are not sure about joining a fraternity, we encourage you to go through the process to get a better picture of fraternity life here at Valdosta State University.
Open House
The first nights of Rush are an opportunity for you to visit every one of our 9 chapters on campus. A Rush leader, Rho Chi, will guide you and a small group of your peers to each one of the fraternity houses. This will allow you to get an idea of what each of these chapters is about and allow you to meet brothers from each chapter.
Invite Back
Invitations only begins on Wednesday night, you have the opportunity to return to the houses you have been invited back to. We encourage you to spend time at each house to get a better understanding of fraternity life. On the Invite Back nights, fraternities will have the opportunity to host events ranging from sporting events to formal dinners. This will last for three consecutive days leading up to Bid Day.
Accepting a Bid
Bids will be distributed through the IFC Executive Council on Saturday, September 1, 2012, in the Student Life Office, third floor of the Student Union. You will receive an envelope containing any and all bids that fraternities have extended to you. It is important to know that you must come back and pick up your bids in order to affiliate with a fraternity. A bid is an extension of membership from a particular fraternity. It is important for each man to join the fraternity in which he feels he will be most successful. Please understand that the entire semester will be used to indoctrinate each man into his respective fraternity, with initiation at the end of the being the final step for membership.
