FAQs about Rushing

 

When is Spring 2023 Rush happening?

Spring 2023 Rush begins January 31st. Rush events will take place on campus. We typically meet at the Mason Statue at 7:04 each evening. Check our Instagram (@gmuthetatau) for updates!! 

Who can rush?

Anyone of any majors can come to rush events but only students with declared majors in the School of Engineering and Computing (excluding Stat Majors) can join the chapter after going through the pledging process. 

Why should you Join?

Theta Tau is not just a professional society. This fraternity is a community of like-minded engineers who enjoy serving the community and the fraternity in a variety of aspects. Brotherhood is what binds us together, and we have a connection to each other like no other. From helping each other out with homework to going to concerts to simply enjoying a meal together, the fraternity of Theta Tau will impact you in a positive manner. You will not only be surrounded by brotherly support, you will be encouraged and motivated by the fraternity to be your best and accomplish great things. Many of the brothers can attest to the great benefits of joining Theta Tau, so come ask us at a rush event. Once a Brother, always a Brother.

Do I have to come to every Rush Event?

Come to as many rush events as you can! Although you are not required to attend every event, it is highly recommended that you talk with the Brothers as much as possible. This makes it easier for you to get an understanding of our fraternity and for the Brothers to get an understanding of who you are.

1.) Be at least 18 years of age. 
2.) Must be enrolled in a program leading to an Engineering or Computing degree.
