Big Sis- Little Sis

Each year, Rush Chairs plan events for an entire week in which our pledges have to demonstrate their commitment to joining. It is a great way to get to know the other sisters in the sorority and to become familiar with each of us.

First off, I want to say that Rush this year was AMAZING.  All of the new pledges were extremely committed, which is going to make Alpha Kappa Sigma such a successful organization.  Each new little sister showed enthusiasm and loyalty to the AKS.  This year is going to be the best year in Alpha Kappa Sigma's history of existence!

Pictures of this year's rush plus previous years...

Rush is a time when women at CSB chose whether or not to want to be part of our incredible service organization.  If they choose to "rush" our sorority, they become a "Pledge" and are assigned a Big Sister.  For a little over a week, or during "Rush Week", pledges and their Big Sisters are required to complete a series of events (mostly service events), such as Highway Clean-Up and Tie-one-on.  Social events are intertwined into rush week, as well. As a Rush Chair, or "Pledge Mom", it is your responsibility to learn each "pledge's" name, year, and additional information.  This year we had over 40 Pledges, which makes learning names a nearly impossible task; however, Kelsey and I are doing a great job!  Being a "mom" to over 40 young women is an invigorating and inspiring task.  I absolutely love the community and relationships that are constructed through Alpha Kappa Sigma, and I am confident that the future will only bring upon stronger traditions in these areas!
