RECRUITMENT

WHAT IS RUSH?

Rush is a period at the beginning of the semester when anyone interested in Lambda Phi Epsilon or Greek life, in general, can come to our events, meet the brothers and learn more about the fraternity. Rush usually lasts about 1-2 weeks, with events held every day that showcase various aspects of the fraternity.

SHOULD I ATTEND ALL RUSH EVENTS?

No. You do not have to attend all rush events. However, if you are serious about joining Lambda Phi Epsilon, you should attend multiple events and an info session. Rush is designed to give interested individuals a glimpse into the real fraternity life, so the more you experience and see for yourself, the better idea you will have of whether the fraternity is something you want to be a part of.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER RUSH?

At the end of the open rush, you’ll receive an invitation to move on to the formal interview phase. This phase is a crucial component as you’ll be interviewed by chapter members to see if you’re a good fit for the house. A few days after the interview, you will receive an invitation, which is also known as "bid," to pledge the fraternity.

DO I HAVE TO BE ASIAN TO JOIN LAMBDA PHI EPSILON?

NO. Lambda Phi Epsilon is an Asian interest fraternity that focuses on the promotion of Asian American awareness, but members of every ethnicity, race, religion, and creed are accepted.

WILL JOINING A FRATERNITY IMPACT MY EDUCATION?

While you are encouraged to learn more about the Greek system, we want you to remember why you are at school in the first place. Lambda Phi Epsilon’s first and foremost purpose is to promote academic achievement and this priority is stressed even to prospective members. Like any worthwhile undertaking, joining a fraternity will most likely require some time and effort. Managing school and joining a fraternity is definitely possible, though, and part of becoming a Lambda is learning how to handle these challenges and become a responsible, well-rounded individual. The active members of the fraternity are students as well, and they will be committed to ensuring your academic success. Be sure to find the right balance to have a rewarding college life both academically and socially.

WHY MEMBERSHIP IN LAMBDA PHI EPSILON?

Lambda Phi Epsilon not only seeks to bring together a diverse group of men who share common interests, backgrounds, and cultures, but also to develop those who show the confidence of a leader. New members enter into a brotherhood that is rich in tradition, lively in its membership, and strong in its bonds while learning how to become a leader in their schools, their communities, and the real world. It takes a certain type of man to become a Lambda—one who wants to become a Leader Among Men. Perhaps that’s you.
