Meet the members...

At the conclusion of the information sessions, prospects and their guests will be invited to meet the members at social and professional events held in the following two weeks. These events provide an opportunity for the prospects to become acquainted with the membership and vice versa. After the rush-end party we hope that prospects will have enough information to know if they wish to be considered for membership and the members will know if they wish to invite prospects to pledge the fraternity.
