Gallery: Students explore Greek Life opportunities at All Sorority and Fraternity Rush

November 13, 2021 by Meghan Long and Shelly Womack

Members of fraternities and sororities invited all students interesting in joining Greek Life organizations on campus to visit with members and officers on Friday evening. Visiting students stopped at every fraternity and sorority’s tent and had conversations with members, enjoyed food and played yard games.
