Any woman who shares similar interests and values is encouraged to join regardless of their own cultural identity.

what is rush?

Rush, also known as recruitment, is a 1.5-2 week period where we, the sisters of Rutgers University Psi Chapter, organize fun social events for you to attend! You can learn what our sorority is all about, our goals, and what our sorority means to us. Even if you're not sure about joining, we highly encourage you to come out! Rush events are always free and non-committal. 

what is a bid and how do i receive one?

A bid is an official invite from the sisters of Rutgers University Psi Chapter to join the sorority! In order to qualify for a bid, it is highly encouraged to attend one informational event and two social events during official Rush. Remember: our events are for us to get to know you and for you to get to know us and the sorority overall. So with that in mind, be yourself and don't be shy! As a reminder, all first-year students are not eligible to receive a bid until the spring semester of their first year.

Both alpha Kappa Delta Phi and Rutgers University have a strict no hazing policy. ​We will never do anything or ask a new member to do anything that would pose threat or harm to them or others. A bid comes with the understanding that we value you as a future sister of our sorority.
