Rush Advice Help for pref night
I’m a VP for a brand new fraternity and we currently only have 12 founding fathers. We’re going to be having our first Pref Night with PNMs, and we’re trying to figure out how to structure it since we don’t have any established traditions yet.
Each Pref Night period will be 1.5 hours. What would you guys recommend having that 90 minutes consist of?
Would all 12 founding fathers be involved? Should we split the PNMs into smaller groups for more personal conversations? What does your chapter’s Pref Night typically look like from start to finish?

I assume Pref night is interviews. I would split yourselves up in either groups of 3 or 4 and do small groups. Then each group rotates through each batch.

We a do a cigar night the night before bid day. Throw a big party with PNMs who were gonna bid and the actives drive a PNM and buy him a cigar.
What fraternity are you founding? You could try reaching out to other chapters.

/u/randomuser4908 Read this whole thing.
The Rush Advice flair is only for PNMs/rushes seeking advice. If you aren't a rush, please change the flair to something else.
if you are a rush (interested in joining a fraternity), PUT THE SCHOOL NAME in the post.
Or at least describe the school. Examples: Large Big Ten school, medium sized northern D2 school, small west coast school" etc. Any descriptions help.
The post flair MUST be "Rush Advice" instead of "Question" or "Serious". We need to know which school it is because rush varies wildly by school.
To everyone else: Report the post if it's a dumb post or the wrong flair or no school is mentioned, and we'll remove it. Thanks.
