 What is rush?  Rush, in the Greek
sense of the term, is the process by which a
fraternity selects individuals to be new members. It is a mutual
endeavor, where the "rush" gets to know and understand the fraternity,
and vice versa. The "rush" then decides if he wants to make a pledge to
the fraternity, and it is also at this time where the fraternity
decides if they would like the "rush" to become a pledge. Rush takes place during the first four or five weeks of every semester, and it is during this period where a potential new member has the oppurtunity to get to know the fraternity itself, it's active brothers, and can be for you, one of the most important periods of time in your college career. It is during this period of time where you can decide for yourself that you want to join a fraternity, and not just any fraternity, but the best. Phi Sigma Kappa. Why join a fraternity? During your freshman and sophmore years at the University of Delaware, you will be immersed in a completely new way of life, full of new people, new challenges, and a host of different obstacles that may seem a bit overwhelming without the comfort of the friends and family you left at home. However, this doesn't have to be that way. One of the first things that any person new to our school realizes is the immense sense of acceptance and kinship fraternity brothers feel and take for granted. But it doesn't stop there. Fraternity members all share a common bond, a tie that goes beyond the expectations and notions of friendship. Here at Phi Sigma Kappa, we dedicate our lives to three basic principles: Brotherhood, Scholarship, and Character. It is from these basic foundations that each brother lives out his life, and it is also where we hold our greatest strength. Joining a fraternity will open the door to more than what has ever been shown about fraternities in the media. As a brother, you will meet a much larger variety of people than you could have ever imagined. Education, while being incredibly important in your college career, is meaningless without social experience. Of course this is usually the number one reason why people consider joining a fraternity, but the benefits go beyond just simply social life. Being part of the brotherhood means that you have a network of people all who can help you in your studies, or point you in the right direction. The amount of brothers we have and the diversity of their majors ensures that there is always someone who can help you, and this can be very important for freshmen who find it hard to make the transition from High School studies to College studies. It is more than just your social and academic life that is impacted by joining a fraternity, and especially Phi Sigma Kappa. Phi Sigma Kappa provides oppurtunity. As a brother you will have the oppurtunity to contribute to our brotherhood, whether it be an executive position such as President and Treasurer, or other positions such as Rush and Social chairs. In Phi Sigma Kappa, we work together to strive for a common good. When a brother is in need, we all are in need. This is by far the most rewarding aspect of Phi Sig, our close relationships. Phi Sigma Kappa provides more than just the ability to help you with your education or your social life, Phi Sigma Kappa works to better you as a man, as a brother, and as a person. Fraternity Facts
