What does rush look like?
Rush events are casual and low-commitment, including cookouts, sports, game nights, and hangouts at the house. There's no pressure to join. Just come meet the brothers and see if it feels like a fit. Check the Events Page for upcoming rush dates.
Can I rush as a sophomore, junior, or transfer student?
Yes. While most members join as freshmen, we welcome students from any class year. Transfer students are also encouraged to join, even if only here for a semester or year.
What GPA do I need to rush or join?
There is no hard minimum GPA to rush. However, we value academic excellence and expect members to maintain good standing with the university. We offer many study resources and mentorship to help members succeed. Academics are a large priority at Skulls, so we will help you along the way as much as we can.
Do you haze new members?
Absolutely not. Phi Kappa Sigma has a strict no-hazing policy at both the national and chapter level. Our new member program is about education, bonding, and brotherhood. Our priority is to ensure close connections and scholarship; we have no place for hazing in our organization.
Will I need to live in the house?
Yes. Pending external circumstances, we expect all members to live in-house for at least two years. This expectation is to promote brotherhood and connections among our members. A majority of our brothers even decide to live in for more than two years.
How much time does being a brother require?
Involvement varies by role. Expect a few hours per week for chapter meetings and events. Leadership roles can sometimes require more, but also reward you with valuable experiences along the way. We always respect that school comes first and encourage a healthy balance.
Are there financial assistance options?
Yes. Payment plans and, in some cases, financial assistance may be available. If cost is a large factor in your decision, please reach out to us at presidentskulls@gmail.com to talk about options. We never want cost to be a barrier for new students to become Skulls. Scholarship opportunities are also available. Over $60,000 is awarded by our national organization every year to undergraduate members who exemplify strong academics, leadership, and fraternal involvement and make an impact on their campus.
