Rush season has begun again for Greek fraternity members across UCF.

UCF Fraternity recruitment will officially start on Tuesday, August 27 in the Student Union Pegasus Ballroom at 9:00 p.m.

The Interfraternity Council at UCF is giving away five $100 scholarships to prospective fraternity members just for coming to the event.

This fall rush may not be as familiar as previous years being that IFC voted to discontinue the traditional tent rush, which was where fraternities had tents set up in Memory Mall or Lake Claire to recruit members. This year, IFC is opting for fraternities to individually recruit members with events organized by the chapters themselves.

So far, the first run at eliminating tent rush for spring recruitment seemed beneficial for the fraternities, with a 23 percent increase in new members compared to the previous spring according to a press release sent out by IFC.
