FAQ

How do I rush?

We hold rush twice a year, once at the beginning of fall quarter (October) and once more in the middle of winter quarter (February). Rushing AEΠ is as simple as checking this website for upcoming rush events, and looking for our booth at events on campus. Rush is open to all undergraduate students at Cal Poly and Cuesta.

Simply come out to events, meet brothers and see for yourself what being in AEΠ is all about!

Does it cost anything to rush?

Absolutely not. You will NEVER be asked to spend money at a rush event. Just come out and have a great time, on us!

If I rush, am I committed to pledging?

Rushing AEΠ does NOT mean you need to pledge. If and when you are offered a bid to pledge our fraternity, you will be given the chance to decided if you feel it is right for you.

Myths about Fraternities

Myth #1:

I will be hazed.

No! Not only is hazing illegal, but both AEPi and Cal Poly have a zero-tolerance policy for hazing. Our chapter has never had a hazing incident in its entire history, and never will. Our foremost interest is to build a strong brotherhood built on the foundation of mutual respect, not on fear and discomfort.

Myth #2:

Frats are all about partying and I won't fit in.

No! Although we do throw amazing parties, that is only a small portion of what it means to be a brother. Whether you are into academics, sports, theater, film, electronics, politics, travel, or a whole host of other activities, you will find brothers in AEΠ with similar interests. Not to mention that AEΠ members consistently achieve higher GPA's than all other fraternities.

Myth #3:

Being a brother in a fraternity is expensive.

No! AEΠ has some of the lowest dues at Cal Poly. These fees all go back to the brothers in the form of amazing parties, events, sports teams, trips, etc. The amount put in is minuscule in contrast to what you get back. AEΠ also offers payment plans and scholarships, and we will never turn away a brother or pledge due to financial issues.
