One RUSH of a week...

After our first day of rush on Monday, all the brothers of Lambda Nu were happy to see fresh and familiar faces throughout the rest of the week at our following rush events.


Tuesday night was themed, "Fall in Love with Business all over again..." and featured speed-dating with the brothers. Each potential new member was able to speak with a brother for about 2 minutes, before they were rotated to another brother of the Lambda Nu chapter. This allowed many brothers and rushees to meet each other and learn more about Alpha Kappa Psi Fraternity.

Wednesday night was "Casino night" back in the Kogod new student Lounge. Interested rushees tried their luck with the brothers with cards games while engaging in casual conversations.Monday through Wednesday rush events provided a casual environment for rushees to get to know the brotherhood and to see if AKPsi is the right organization for them.

Thursday night was time for the brothers to show that they mean business. Professional rush kicked off with a period of mingling with the brothers, segueing to insights from our speakers for the evening. Brother Bill Killion started off by recounting his personal experience at professional rush during fall 2008 and how that convinced him to put his full effort into AKPsi. Professor Emily Lindsay, an honorary faculty brother expressed to the audience that life provides opportunities for everyone, and it is those people who take advantage of them that will truly fulfill their potential -- becoming a member of AKPsi is one of those opportunities.


Professor Sue Marcum, faculty brother and AU alum, enlightened those interested in pledging that time management is key to success; how vital it is learn it now and practice it in one's future career. Finally our Vice President of Alumni, Zachary Siegel explained that the benefits of being a brother now are just as important as the ones once you graduate and join the vast network of alumni brothers in Alpha Kappa Psi fraternity. The night ended with the brothers showing their sincere gratitude to all the speakers for their time and effort.
