SPRING RUSH 2004

Have you ever thought about joining a sorority?  Want to learn more?
The Cornell chapter of alpha Kappa Delta Phi sorority invites you to join us for Rush. 
Events are fun and a great way to meet new people.  Everyone is invited to attend.

What is Rush?

Rush is a time for girls who are interested in joining a sorority to come out to meet and get to know the sisters while receiving more information about aKDPhi. Events are all about meeting people, learning about our sorority, and having fun.  Best of all, rush events are free and open to everyone!

Common Sorority Myths and Concerns

"Sororities are for party girls"
"You have to live in a sorority house"
"You have to pay extremely high dues to be a member"
"Pledging will affect my grades"

Partying is a common stereotype of the Greek system.  Every sister has her own personality and lifestyle, and for many, partying is not a priority.  Our sorority is unique in that it does not have a house; some girls end up living with other sisters on campus or in Collegetown, but others continue living with friends outside of the sorority.  Living in a house does not constitute being in a sorority.  In fact, our dues are most likely the lowest of any Greek organization because we do not own a house.  And as students of Cornell, the academic demands of Cornell are a priority in our lives.  Therefore, as sisters, we also strive for academic excellence.  We do have a minimum GPA to pledge and expect girls to prioritize their time to achieving those standards.  Our sisters' high GPAs and our successful alumni are an indication of our continuous dedication to our education.

Come to a rush information session to learn what being a part of aKDPhi is REALLY about.

The (Material) Benefits of Sisterhood...

Sure, its great to always have someone there for you to talk/cry/gossip/study/eat/shop with, but you've gotta recognize the other perks to sisterhood as well.  One word: CONNECTIONS! Thanks to my awesome pledge sister Christy -- who has been interning for IBM in North Carolina for the past 6 months -- I just bought a brand new laptop (IBM T-series) & carrying case for under $1,200 with her employee discount, saving myself $1,675!! 

And even though we didn't take advantage of it, Nina -- an intern at Donna Karan this summer -- offered us her 50% discount to use.   

*sigh*  Isn't sisterhood awesome?
