Every Fall semester,
Sigma Phi Omega hosts a series of fun and informal events
around campus, often referred to as "Rush" events.
They are free and open to anyone curious about what our
sorority has to offer.

Below
are some commonly asked questions about Rush, along with our
answers. Please contact us if you have any further questions.
What is rush?
Rush is a week filled with exciting events that fraternities
and sororities host to introduce you to their organization and
members. It gives you an opportunity to check out what we're
all about and to decide if being a member is for you. There is
no obligation to join and food and transportation are always
provided.
Do I have to attend every Rush?
No, but it is encouraged. This will give us a chance to get to
know you and for you to get to know us.
What if I cannot attend a rush
event?
It is important that you attempt to be present to at least one
rush event. However, if you cannot, please feel free to
contact us.
Can I rush during the Spring
semester?
We do not conduct a Spring rush because we want each of our
pledge in the Fall to get the full experience of our program
and at the same time to have more personal time such as
school, work, family, etc. However, we do encourage you to
come out to our rush the following Fall semester.
What is pledging?
Pledging is a period full of activities designed to learn
about our sorority history, traditions, and pledge sisters as
well as the rest of the sisters.
What is the time commitment?
It is often said that how much you get out of an experience is
directly related to how much you put into it. Nevertheless, we
understand that you are here at San Diego State University to
learn and we will never ask you to place the sorority above
academics or anything else that is important to you. School
should come first above everything else because after all, you
are here for an education.
I'm still not sure which
sorority is right for me.
We encourage you to explore all opportunities, including the
other two Asian sororities in San Diego State University.
Evaluating the numerous options available will allow you to
choose the organization that you feel the most pride and
comfort being a member of.
What makes you different from
other sororities?
We are the oldest Asian-American Interest sorority to be
established in San Diego. Our founding chapter was established
in the University of Southern California in 1949, making us
also the 3rd oldest Asian sorority in the nation. We are the
only asian sorority in San Diego State University to have an
official brother fraternity, Beta Omega Phi.
