My name is Clark Cunningham. I served as the Rush Chair in my fraternity for three years. I also served on the executive board for three years. I have rushed hundreds of kids and worked with fraternities across the country.
My videos will help prepare you for the fraternity recruitment process so you can enter the game confident and position yourself above the competition.

I didn’t really have to try this hard when I went through rush. I was split for a few days but at the end when I knew what I wanted it felt like a natural conversation and it honestly felt like I knew all of them before that. In my opinion it’ll come naturally but the biggest advice I could have is… •Pay attention to your potential rush class •Take reputation with a grain of salt in some cases •don’t force the conversation •don’t talk down on other people/fraternities The biggest one… •DONT TELL LIES TO LOOK BETTER Rush shouldn’t be too stressful and honestly you only get one rush week so make the most out of it and have fun and meet new people.
Don’t listen to this idiot, he’s completely over complicating it. Just go to rush week, be yourself, don’t do anything weird and don’t ask about partying and that stuff (all frats party, but it’s not the focus of Greek life so don’t treat it as such)
Ima fact check this as a rush chair at a big frat at a big 10 school: 1. Talking about alcohol and partying- correct, don’t do it. Cringy af. It’s okay if they bring it up. 2. Honestly if u feel like a convo isn’t going anywhere ask about stuff from highschool. It’s not that bad. But you wanna use it to bring out a better topic. Like if he played football and you did to, start making connections on it. How good was he? How good were you? If you weren’t good sometimes it’s funny to say that, lol. Be honest and use highschool if necessary; they understand it’s where you’re just coming from. It’s all you know. 3. Those r good questions, but don’t ask why they joined that frat. It’s the same answer every time everywhere and it’s boring to answer. Literally ask stupid shit like why they jerk off if you two are having a good time. Don’t talk negative about anyone anytime unless it’s a celebrity. Even if they bring it up, even if they initiate the shit talk, take the high road. “Nah he’s chill” works. They’re going to have sorority girls there to ask you specifically fucked up questions, like “what position would you fuck me in?” or if there’s three girls “fuck, marry, kill and why?”. Don’t say “I gotta respect the girl, I’m not answering that”. Answer the question in a funny way. Go into detail about how long you’d last if they ask. Sorority girls want to know the guys joining the house are going to show them a good time, and even if that’s not sexual, the funnier the answer, the more likely you are to know how to have a good time. Sorority girls are always in the room when we’re picking who we’re offering bids to. Remember that. Even if you don’t come from partying hard or with a ton experience in the bed room, don’t be nervous. Tell them that. They wanna have fun corrupting kids. People will tell you it’s about being yourself; and that’s 100% true. But if you don’t exaggerate and hype yourself up, it ain’t gonna work.
Frat is a derogatory word for fraternity your website does no justice to us fellow Greeks for using such a term in the title of your channel. Do you call your mother a c*nt? WTF?
This guy sounds like a job interview. You need references to contact? Once again you have stereo typed fraternities as elite when there are many diamonds in the rough who rush that have strong character, authentic and as Greeks are our past, present, future. Lou Holtz said it best. 7 colors in a rainbow. Michael Angelo used those seven colors to paint. 7 is not just a number or sexual orientation it's strength in diversity. There is no secrete to rush. Be yourself, be inclusive, be authentic. Be your own character. No goals no growth equals no healthy relationship in life. Rush is not a McDonalds style application form or online video. You should just go work for a corporate HR recruiting agency instead of making money from you you tube posts from fellow Greeks.
Is 23-24 too old to join frat? After highschool went on several business ventures. Now I’m Getting my bachelors to join military as an officer. Still a young fun dude
Jack Stern in my frat we have 3 super seniors. One is 27 one is 25 and another 25. You should join. Certain ones will understand. We had a 30 year old man that wanted to re- affiliate and we didn’t let him. You’re good man
@@genesis11am they DO discriminate age. That was my point. Not my choice but it’s also a little weird for a 30 year old to be trying to rejoin, go live your life and don’t focus on a frat. Plus woulda been weird having a 30 year old hanging around a bunch of 18-24 year olds
Just be yourself, don’t try to be someone your not. Integrity is key to fraternity, don’t to be fake, don’t try to be a frat star when you’re not, don’t put someone else down for the sake of boosting yourself up. Just be honest, open, and be willing to do stuff with some of the guys to get to know them. The best thing to be is honest and open, when I was rushing the frat I eventually joined had cigars and poker night. I had no idea how to play poker but I do like cigars and I had some Cubans that a brought to the event. I showed up and was honest that I didn’t know how to play poker, I didn’t pretend to be a poker star to try and impress them, I just told them I have no idea how to play. And guess what? I got into a long conversation with the guys on how to play and the strategies and everything and we bonded as a result. They were cool with me not knowing and took me in and explained everything. That’s how I knew these guys were cool and they respected me for being honest. Also the “cigars” everyone was smoking were mostly just blunts but I don’t smoke weed and I just said “fuck it I’ll smoke what I want to smoke” smoked my cigar instead and they respected it. If you don’t follow the wave and do your own thing that’s the best way to stand out.
