Spring Rush 2012!

Welcome back Kappa Phis! We hope your holiday break was restful and that you're ready for a brand new semester! This is the busiest time of the year for us, so if you were not able to attend the planning meeting, get caught up here!

Rush Schedule

MSC Open House: Sunday, January 22, 1-4 pm in the Rec Center. Actives do not have to attend this! The social committee will cover the shifts.


Informationals: Monday, January 23 and Wednesday, January 25 at 5:30 in Rudder 308. This event is also not mandatory for actives. Officers will attend, and those of you who signed up must drop your tasty homemade cookies off at Meredith's house by Saturday morning. Actives are encouraged to attend the dinners afterward though and meet the prospective girls! Dinner will be at Rosa's at 6:30 on Monday and at Fuddrucker's Wednesday.

Milk & Cookies Party: This will be at Callaway Villas clubhouse at 7 pm on Thursday, January 26. This is a mandatory rush event for actives to attend. Wear a Kappa Phi shirt and get to know our potential pledges! Make sure you contact our social chairs to let them know what you can bring. Milk, chocolate or strawberry syrup, and of course cookies are on our list. If you bring food, it is important that you come early. Carpool to Callaway for these events to save parking spaces for our guests and dates.

Little Black Dress Party: This event is at 7:00 on Saturday, January 28 at the Callaway Villas. Get all gussied up and bring a date to mingle with our new pledges in a fun and fancy atmosphere! It is mandatory for actives to attend, and sign up on Wiggio soon for a dish to take! Make sure you are there by 6:30 at the latest to help set up--we don't want actives walking in with the pledges. The theme is Audrey Hepburn, so think pretty European foods. Kappa Phi will handle the spaghetti! Contact Meredith about handing out LBD invites personally to our pledges, it's a lot of fun!

Rush Bible Study: This mandatory event will be at 6:00 on Monday, January 30 in Read 167. This is an important rush date as it lets prospective girls see what the core of Kappa Phi is really all about! Bring your Bibles and enjoy some beginning of the semester fellowship.

Rose Tea: Another party at 7:00 at Callaway on Wednesday, February 1st. Again, carpool and come 30 minutes early to set up! This is where we'll meet the girls who are going to pledge for sure, so come in your Sunday best with some tea party goodies! Sign ups will be on Wiggio as well.

Degree of the Pine: Last mandatory rush event! The ceremony will be on Sunday, February 5 at 2:00 at the Wesley Foundation, don't be late! We want a great atmosphere to welcome our new pledges in.

*Also during the week, we want to rep Kappa Phi! Write on chalkboards and post fliers, and wear your KP tees. Monday wear your light blue pledge shirt, Tuesday your letter shirt, and Wednesday your long sleeved purple shirt. If you don't have one of those shirts, substitute a different KP shirt!

One last item of business is a new rule implemented this semester. These rush events, because they are mandatory, are now a part of your allotted 3 absences, so try not to miss out on anything!

Everyone finish their first week strong!

You're Invited

Hey ladies! Thanks to everyone who made it out to Rush Bible Study tonight! Our final rush event before the pledge ceremony will be held on Wednesday at 7:00 and is called Rose Tea. It is indeed a tea party, so wear your Sunday best and head out to our pledge coordinator, Meredith's, adorable house. This event let's the officers know that you are planning to join Kappa Phi.

The address is 1102 Berkeley (also spelled Beckeley) College Station. Directions: Coming from Texas (left coming from the west, a right coming from the east) turn on Dominik and follow that road a ways until you turn left on Berkeley. Follow the road to almost the very end, and her house will be the second to the last on the left. We hope to see everyone there!

We've got the cute t-shirts & events planned, which can only mean that rush is finally here! Both informational meetings had absolutely wonderful turnouts. Next up is the ice cream social tomorrow evening at the Aggie Station Clubhouse (north on Wellborn past Northgate) where everyone can mingle in a relaxed & fun environment while enjoying some cold treats!

Here are some pictures of the adorable informationals provided by Chaplain Chelsea & active Lorena!
