What is Rush
Rush is a time when interested individuals can get to know more about Sigma Omega Nu as a whole, but also meet sisters from the chapter. Rush is free of charge and non-binding, so you have the ability to see what we are about. Rush events vary per year but typically include informationals, socials with other organizations, workshops, and cultura dinners.
