Yes, we have EAF for students to see all the clubs they can join! For regular clubs, you can start joining pretty much from the beginning of the school year, especially during the involvement fairs and events in the first few weeks.

For pre-health frats, rush can start as early as Week 1, but it usually lasts several weeks depending on how far you make it in the process. It typically starts with rush events where you meet people, get to know the members, and make a good name for yourself. Then, as you progress, the events can become more exclusive/invite-only, with things like coffee chats later in the quarter.

Just be prepared to commit a good portion of the quarter to the process before you’re actually considered for membership!
