Strong friendships and bonds of brotherhood, socials with sororities, IM sports, networking and opportunities to become a leader on campus are some of the experiences UCF fraternities advertise as reasons why you should go Greek.

And now is the time for hundreds of guys to decide if pledging a fraternity is for them — and which one out of so many available they should pick. Fraternities at UCF are holding recruitment events throughout the week, known as “Rush Week,” so guys thinking of joining can meet the different organizations and see where which one has brothers they fit with best.
KnightNews.com decided to help sort out how this process works, and put up a UCF fraternity list with links to web pages to find out more about each fraternity. We may be updating this page with more videos and listings, depending on how each fraternity chooses to work with us to get the word out, so check back for updates.

See a video KnightNews.com’s Andrew Stein made in Spring along with a member of IFC to show why so many people rush:
If you are planning on rushing, you can do some research beforehand by checking out fraternities websites (links are above and below) and Facebook groups. You also could have met some fraternities in person at their individual events or at earlier UCF welcome events on campus in the Student Union. While many fraternities have already had rush events, this is the week where all the big ones happen.
Starting at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week, Sept. 1, 2 and 3, all the fraternities will hold rush events at and around the Lake Claire Recreational Area. (See map) There will be an area where Interfraternity Council officers will be to register anyone thinking of joining. It is free to go through recruitment for guys. Check with each fraternity to see what their costs are. They may not be as expensive as you’d think — and are generally much less expensive than sororities at UCF.
Note: Last week, KnightNews.com e-mailed every fraternity president letting them know about our Fraternity Rush Guide and the option to buy a premium placement above for the first five to respond to the advertising offer. Options for videos to be posted are available too. If your fraternity would like one of the few remaining spots, please see your president for the email with the very cheap prices and options.
