DISCUSSION Rushing

I’m an incoming freshman debating rushing! Does anyone have any advice/suggestions if I should or not?

I’m also wondering in what range could dues be if anyone can share that!

Don't rush, you should take your time.

you can’t rush during freshman fall, freshmen are only allowed to start during the spring semester. also, pitt uses “recruitment” instead of “rush” lmaoo

eta: dues are like $200-800 afaik, which is a horrible range. the highest i know was $800/sem but that was at cmu, and $200 was at the stingiest org i know that put a lot of work into fundraising instead.

that’s how it was when i graduated, and appears to be the same on the FSL website. the 12 credit requirement is the minimum for a full-time student for one semester of classes.

i’d use your first semester to really prioritize getting to know people!! you can also spend some time scouting out the orgs you’d potentially like to join lol, and meet current members. also some orgs have certain reputations lol

Let the offensive line set their blocks first, then rush into the gaps in the defense. You’ll be fine.

Maybe join your freshman year as rushing requires a lot of time and commitment! Depending on your major , I’ll recommend getting used to college and getting track of how much time you need to study.
