What is Rush?
At the beginning of every semester (usually around the 2nd week of
classes at GWU), all fraternities/sororities hold a series of events
as part of "Rush Week". Rush is a period for you to meet the Brothers
of Pi Delta Psi. The purpose of Rush is mutual: It allows you to get
to know the Brothers, and for us to get to know you. More importantly,
it gives you a non-obligatory opportunity to learn more about
ourfraternity, and ultimately to decide if this is right for you.
What's the cost?
All Rush events are absolutely FREE of charge. We want to stress that
there is no obligation on your end. The purpose of Rush is simply for
you to ask questions, interact with the Brothers, and to learn more
about Pi Delta Psi and fraternity life in general.
Why should I choose Pi Delta Psi,
as opposed to another fraternity?
While we certainly hope to see you at our Rush events and ultimately
will choose Pi Delta Psi, we vehemently oppose the act of speaking
down upon other fraternities. We recognize that all fraternities are
unique, and each has its own goals, values, and distinctive features.
What I can say about Pi Delta Psi includes the following: Pi Delta Psi
is the fastest-growing Asian cultural fraternity in the world. Not
only do we possess some of the best and brightest students at GWU, we
typically use our experiences as Brothers to successfully transition
from the classroom into the professional workforce
We recruit leaders, not followers. Through Pi Delta Psi, you will not
only develop successful individual qualities, but you will be able to
use these going forward. Our Brothers typically hold executive board
positions in various other organizations on campus, and go on to
prosper in the professional workforce.
Since you're an ASIAN Cultural fraternity,
do you also accept non-Asians?
Yes, absolutely! As an Asian Cultural fraternity, our goal is simply
to educate others about our heritage. However, our fraternity is not
limited to people of Asian ethnicity, as we also have people of
Caucasian, Latino, and African-American descent across the nation.
Will pledging a fraternity
hurt my grades?
Pledging for Pi Delta Psi should in no way hurt your GPA over the
course of the semester. Your parents aren't shelling out $50,000+ per
year for you to suffer academically. Not only do we understand that,
we strive to ensure that there are systems in place during the
pledging process that will allow you to excel in the classroom. One of
the pillars of Pi Delta Psi is Academic Achievement, and the Brothers
of GWU take that very seriously. We understand that maintaining a high
level of academic achievement is paramount to your future, and we hope
that fraternity life can serve to aid in your future goals.
I hear you guys only hang out with each other and the sorority
sisters.
do you guys have other friends?
Absolutely! While the Brothers of Pi Delta Psi obvious dedicate a
great deal of time and effort towards this fraternity, and maintain
positive relations with the sororities on campus, we each thrive in
our lives outside of fraternity life. We recognize that fraternity
life is meant to merely enhance our college lives, not define it.
While the fraternity has brought us all together and allowed us to
develop strong, lifelong bonds, we still maintain successful lives
outside of Pi Delta Psi.
Hmmm... so you make it sound all good and all,
but I've heard a lot of
bad things about "frat boys".
It is a common misconception that "frats" are only consumed by its own
lives, and are all about the keg parties, beer bashes, strippers, etc.
Unfortunately, many of these stereotypes stem from American mainstream
media, and in particular, what you see in movies such as Old School.
In many ways, what is portrayed in those movies could not be any
further from the truth.
Sadly, this is the type of content that is visible to the public eye,
and therefore, leads to the very stereotypes that we have fought so
hard to overcome. Speaking on behalf of the Brothers of Pi Delta Psi,
we party hard and love to have fun, of course. But at the same time,
we have more important values in life. Many of us also work upwards of
20-25 hours per week, in order to defray the costs of our GWU
education and ease the financial burdens placed on our families.
One of the purposes of Rush is to allow you to come to our free
events, and find out who we really are. What have you got to lose? Are
you really going to base your judgment on some stupid, unfounded
rumors? We can only do so much to overcome these stereotypes, but it
is up to you to find out for yourself.
