We are proud to announce that the fall 2016 associate member class is off to a strong start on their pledgeship. This comes after one of the most competitive rush terms in chapter history.
In terms of recruitment, the chapter had an estimated 250 potential new members come through our doors. Of these, many rushees returned for multiple events. This is not only a record for the chapter in terms of fall rush, but also makes up a predicted 1/3 of all freshman males who chose to rush. Of those selected to receive a bid, over 85% chose to accept, making the Zeta Omega pledge class one of the largest in house history.
The Zeta Omega associate member class currently sits at 31 members. They represent 9 states, 4 countries, and 8 colleges at Purdue. Overall, they hold an average of a 3.83 GPA from either high school or their past semester at Purdue, and have been working hard to maintain a high level of excellence in scholastic achievement so far at Purdue.
