As to whether or not to rush a Rx frat, it is a very personal decision. The Greek pharmacy societies at the University of Buffalo, when I was on campus, were truly Greek societies in every sense of the word. They had rush parties, initiations in the Greek tradition, and a full social calendar, including themed parties and Greek Week programs. They balanced the purely social aspects of the fraternity with professional programs in both the University and neighborhood communities. There was NO hazing in LKS, Rho Pi Phi or Kappa Psi upon initiation, although we did have some good natured fun...scavenger hunts, etc, for a "Hell Night" that wrapped up at a local pub! All groups maintained Chapter files with old tests, offered tutoring and group study to aid their members. As far as "networking"..most of the profs at that time were members of KY and served as mentors to the brothers of the UB chapter.(and they were truly "brothers" at that time~ KY is now co-ed on many campuses!). In my experience, I never knew a KY brother or LKS sister that regretted their decision to join their respective houses. If anything, as alumnae, the bonds
formed while serving as collegiate members became stronger and more meaningful with time. Being a Rx Greek provided me with an awesome college experience and memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.
I've loved every minute of it!😍
I didn't realize that...
