How it works
Five steps, zero pressure
Fraternity recruitment at Cal Poly is more structured than people expect — and that works in your favor. You'll see every house, nobody can pressure you into anything, and you only accept a bid if you want to.
Our advice? Rush more than one house. Ask hard questions — about cost, time, grades, and what new members actually do. The right chapter will give you straight answers. We will.
Register with Cal Poly IFC
All fraternity recruitment runs through the Interfraternity Council. Sign up online and attend the mandatory info session before events start.
IFC Kick-Off BBQ
Every IFC chapter in one place. Grab food, make the rounds, and come find the Kappa Sigma table — this is the easiest first step.
Open events
Come to our open rush events — casual, free, and zero commitment. Meet the brothers, ask anything, and see if the vibe fits.
Invite events
If it's mutual, you'll be invited to smaller events where you get to know the brotherhood on a deeper level.
Bid day
Receive a bid, accept it, and start your journey to initiation as a new member of Nu-Alpha.
