Rush
 Unlike many institutions, Trinity's sororities and
fraternities do not accept new members until the spring semester.
Additionally, formal rush does not start until September 28. We want our
students to acclimate themselves to Trinity's academics before taking on the
responsibilities of membership.
There
are rush events throughout the fall semester and the beginning of the spring
semester. Typically the sororities each host three formal parties in the
fall and two formal parties in the spring. The fraternities each host one
formal party in the fall and one formal party in the spring. In addition to
the large rush events, there are a number of informal events put on by each
of the fraternities and sororities so that potential new members have an
opportunity to meet the current members in the organizations. Although
participation in fall rush is not a requirement to join a fraternity or
sorority, we highly encourage potential new members to find out as much as
possible about each organization so that the student can find his or her
best fit.
Our organizations have very unique character, so get to
know each of the organizations to find which one is best for you. Greek life
offers the opportunity to get to know a small group closely. Because our
organizations average 15 to 40 members, there is an opportunity to form
close bonds to your class, younger and older members, as well as alumni.
