Rush is a two to three week period at the beginning of every semester where potential new members are invited to come learn more about Sigma Phi Omega. It is also a chance for us to get to know you and meet you in a relaxed atmosphere. It is designed especially for girls to get to know what exactly Sigmas are all about, and to see if they too, would like to become part of our sisterhood. All events are free to rushees, and rides to events are provided as well.

Because it's fun! Many girls may feel that they are not particularly "sorority material." However, you may be surprised to find that Sigmas do not fit any particular sorority stereotype. Sigmas celebrate diversity, and you just might find a place in our sorority where you fit right in. The only way to find out is to rush! Besides, all rush events are free and there are absolutely no obligations for the rushee. This is simply a chance for you to see if you could possibly have a future with Sigma Phi Omega.

Our sorority has helped young women adjust to college life for over fifty years. College is a time for new faces, endeavors and experiences. Among this whirlwind of unfamiliarity, being in a sorority can help brighten your path and put things into perspective. Along with providing a base for lasting friendships and memories, Sigma Phi Omega gives you the opportunity to learn about leadership, give back to the community, as well as discover potential you never knew you had. Also, please take the time to learn more about our sorority.

In order to receive an invitation to join, or a "bid", you must fill out an information sheet, attend two out of the four rush events, and complete an interview. We will then offer bids after the end of our last rush event, which you may accept or decline.

A short list of events follow at the end of the page, or you may check our events page for a list of upcoming events.
