Frequently Asked Questions


1. What IS RUSH?
      -   Rush is a time for women interested in KDPhi and in the greek system to find out if KDPhi is for them. It's an opportunity for you to meet us and for us to meet you. It's also a great way for you the rushee to ask anyquestions you may have about KDPhi, the greek system, or sorority life in general.

2. Do I have to pay to rush?
      -   Nope! All rush week activities and rides are free to the rushee.
 
3. Do I have to be Asian American or Pacific Islander to join KDPhi?
      -   Nope! alpha Kappa Delta Phi is comprised of a wide array of interests, backgrounds, and talents. Each sister brings a unique aspect and view point to our diverse sisterhood. And although we are an Asian American Interest Sorority, that in no way means that our membership is exclusive to Asian Americans of Pacific Islander women. Therefore we encourage and invite all women regardless of ethnicity to join!
 
4. If I Rush, do I have to pledge?
      -   As a rushee, you are under no obligation to pledge KDPhi. Though we do hope that you feel that KDPhi is for you, we understand that KDPhi may not be for all.
 
5. How Often do you RUSH?
      -   We typically rush Fall and Winter Quarters.
 
6. What are rush events?
      -   Rush events are events set up by the sisters of the house in order for you, the rushee, to meet us and get to know what we, the sisters of UCSB KDPhi, and what our sorority is about. Although we hope that you would attend all of our rush events, we understand that it may not be possible, therefore we encourage you to attend as many as you can.
 
7. How do I go from a Rushee to a Pledge?
      -   The road from Rushee to pledge is as follows: There is Rush Week in which you get to meet the sisters of our house and we get to meet you. During this Rush Week there are multiple fun Rush Events that are free in which you're invited to attend. During Rush Week there will be an interview night in which you'll be interviewed by the sisters of the sorority. If you cannot attend all rush events you may want to ask what night this will be held so you don't miss out on this important part of the rush process! Rushees that have gone through the interview process may then be offered a Bid to pledge our sorority. If one recieves a bid, it is their decision to pledge or not to pledge.
 
8. What's up with this KDPhi and aKDPhi stuff? It's the same thing right?
      -   Just to clear the confusion, we are typically known as KDPhi in order to save breath in saying alpha Kappa Delta Phi, but we are also referred to as aKDPhi as well.
