by Ben Reingold ’19 Rush Chair
Rush on campus was a busy and fun-filled week. On Monday, rushees were invited to the Lodge for S’mores and a relaxing evening with brothers. On Tuesday, 15 brothers and 15 rushees drove to Southside Diner in Mount Vernon for our (recently) traditional “Breakfast for Dinner.” Thursday night saw us in Suite 33 at the Schott, watching the Ohio State men’s basketball team lose a thriller after a Penn State buzzer-beater (less thrilling for those who root for OSU). 
We brought 15 brothers to that event, and all were very impressed with the experience. It was a great opportunity to have fun with some rushees off campus. Friday night was our Lodge cookout and campfire. About a dozen rushees stopped by for burgers and hot dogs, and then a few stayed and sat at the campfire with some brothers. Sunday the Chapter hosted the final event for rush, our annual steak dinner. After a day of shopping and preparation, a truly collective cooking effort made for a great meal. It was an opportunity for brothers to get sentimental and share what they value about the Fraternity. Exiting rush week, we feel confident that we will be initiating a great group of quality men this spring.
