Genuine First Year Advice

Guide to Richmond:
1). Y’all frosh always wilding, this is gonna be your guide to greek life
2). What are off campus organizations? Sig Chi, SAE, and Theta Chi were all once recognized organizations but were each kicked off campus(“shut down” by their nationals + the school) but still operate as fraternities anyway. As far as students are concerned these orgs are just as legitimate as any others.
2). How do you get a bid/rush? Simple. Go to as many fraternities as you can and get to know brothers at partys/ but mostly rush events. Make sure to talk to rush chairs and express your interest on being on the list. You will quickly realize where you want to be / fit in. Trust your gut.
4). REMEMBER: Greek life on our campus is the major social scene and can be very clicky. Make sure you join an org because you like the members, not just that the partys are fun. These are the people you are going to spend the majority of your college experience with, so make sure you actually like the people in the organization before accepting a bid.
5). Be yourself and know your place. Rushing can be very awkward at times given the power imbalance between organizations and potential new members.
Nothing an org hates more than rushes that are overly confident/disrespectful, you are not a brother so don’t act like one.
6). Have fun. Coming to college is a super exciting new change in your life and joining a frat/sorority is a great way to enhance your college experience. But certainly not required to enjoy your college experience.

SigEp's award winning BMP App is the next step for the premier student organization on our campus.
After signing into the app, a brother lands on his very own personalized homepage. Here he monitors his progress on BMP challenges and development in live time, examine his percentage of completed activities, and reviews the number of days left in his current challenge. He is able to do all of this at a glance before moving on to another feature of the BMP app. His profile allows him to record and write reflective thoughts on his personal BMP experience. Here he reviews his past, present and future challenges, sees his challenge mentors and contacts them immediately to schedule the next challenge. Additionally he can access the in-app directory of chapter brother profiles so he can see how his brothers are progressing through their challenges, creating more opportunities for chapter competition, friendly rivalvry and encouragement. On his activities page, he can conveniently access a list of challenge activities so that he can mark an activity as complete and then attach photos and documents as evidence. As as member updates his personalized challenge tracker, his challenge coordinator will be notified in real time. Coordinators and vice presidents of member development are able to access a list of all brothers in any given challenge to monitor their individual progress and percentage of completed activities and meetings. Brothers and officers can post to the newsfeed to inform each other about upcoming meetings, events and personal milestones. As you would expect with any social media feature, brothers are able to like and comment on other members’ posts, making the BMP more personal and interactive than ever before. Whether it’s managing personal challenge information, calling or emailing brothers from the in-app directory or exporting meeting and activity due dates to your mobile calendar, the app is SigEp’s all-in-one tool designed to help chapters build brotherhood, pursue the Balanced Man Ideal, and make the most of their SigEp experience.
