Every Fall and Spring semester, the Beta Chapter of Sigma Phi Omega hosts a series of fun and informal events around campus (often referred to as "Rush" events), in hopes of finding motivated, goal-oriented, and good-hearted young women to take part in our traditions. We encourage those interested in pursuing our sisterhood to come to our bi-annual rush during the first few weeks of every Fall  and Spring semester. They are free and open to anyone who is curious about who we are and what we represent.

What is Rush?
Rush is a week filled with exciting events that fraternities and sororities host to introduce you to their organization and members. It gives you an opportunity to check out what we're all about and to decide if being a member is for you. There is no obligation to join and food and transportation are always provided.

Do I have to attend every Rush?
No, but it is encouraged. This will give us a chance to get to know you and for you to get to know us.

What if I cannot attend a Rush event?
It is important that you attempt to be present to at least one Rush event. However, if you cannot, please feel free to contact us for other possible arrangements.

Can I rush during the Spring semester?
Yes, you can. Unlike many of our other chapters, our chapter conducts Rush twice every year; once in the Fall and once in the Spring. We are also an 'opened' chapter, meaning that you do not have to be a student of CSULB in order to Rush.

What is 'New Member Orientation'?
'New Member Orientation' is a period full of activities designed to learn about our sorority history, traditions, and your line sisters as well as the rest of the active class.

What is the time commitment?
It is often said that how much you get out of an experience is directly related to how much you put into it. Nevertheless, we understand that your priority in college is to learn and we will never ask you to place the sorority above academics or anything else that is important to you. School should come first above everything else because after all, you are here for an education.

I'm still not sure which sorority is right for me.
We encourage you to explore all opportunities, including the other sororities that we share our campus with. Evaluating the numerous options available will allow you to choose the organization that you feel the most pride and comfort being a member of.

Do I have to be Asian to join Sigma Phi Omega?
Of course not! We value diversity and equality, welcoming with open arms, any girls interested learning about our organization.

What makes you different from other sororities?
We are the oldest Asian-American Interest sorority to be established in Long Beach. Our founding chapter was established in the University of Southern California in 1949, making us the 3rd oldest Asian sorority in the nation. We are also the only Asian sorority to have an official brother fraternity, Beta Omega Phi.
