Rush

What is Rush?

Rush is a series of events open to all prospective pledges, designed for you to get to know our brothers and vice versa.

Our first event, Meet the Chapter, is a professional event in which you will learn about our chapter, what makes us unique from other business organizations on campus, and an overview of what it means to truly be a brother of Berkeley’s premier business organization. Here, you will be exposed to the history of our fraternity, the legacy of our brothers, and what we have accomplished in the nearly 90 years that we have been on the Berkeley campus. At Meet the Chapter, you will have an opportunity to speak with our actives, members, and even alumni to learn about our brotherhood and our culture.

The Social Mixer is a more relaxed gathering. Beta Alpha Psi extends beyond just a group of people with shared professional interests; we are close friends who form a tight knit brotherhood that continues after graduation. The primary purpose of the Mixer is for members and rushees to interact in a more casual setting and to see whether you can picture yourself as being part of our brotherhood.

In addition to the two aforementioned events, there will be Personal and Group interviews where we will be looking to assess your professional and academic abilities alongside your sense of leadership and teamwork. Interviews are by invitation only.

Finally, Rush will conclude with our Professional Forum, an opportunity to delve deeper into what it is like to work in different industries and to explore the various careers available. Alumni and members alike will host roundtables to discuss the expectations of recruiting and tasks while on the job. Professional Forum is by invitation only.

At the conclusion of Rush, a small group of outstanding individuals will be selected for our Pledging Program. Only upon completion of this process will pledges be initiated into our brotherhood.
