Rush is on the move again! We are in continuous communication with approximately 300 potential new members across Texas and the US, and are finding new prospects daily. We have been fortunate enough to host several successful Rush events, including one at the Warren Wildlife Gallery in Austin. Last year’s Rush was extremely successful, resulting in the largest Pledge Class our Chapter has ever seen, with 63 new members initiated. We are excited to build on this momentum, along with the enthusiasm of our newest members, as we work to recruit an even larger class this year. By the beginning of the school year, we aim to have 70 pledges. Your dedication and generosity are pivotal in the accomplishment of our goal this summer. | |
