 After Rush Week, each chapter will then pick out bids according to who they think will fit in and represent their house the best. It is possible to receive more than one bid, if this happens, the recipient must decide which bid he wants to pursue. After accepting a bid, the potential member is now called a pledge. A pledge is almost a member, but he or she must first go through an initiation process that will be specific to their house. Most houses have a few tasks or challenges for the pledges to complete. After their "pledgeship" is complete, the house will then invite the pledges to be initiated and become members of the Greek Community. Initiation is also different for every house, there is usually a secret ceremony or ritual that each pledge must go through.

Tours of each different house are offered and members of the house are there to get to know the potential pledges. Many students come into Rush Week having no idea what house they would like to join; Rush Week helps them to narrow it down and make the right choice. Kylie Franklin, a senior at Drake University, is a member of Alpha Phi, and she said, "Rush Week is the time to explore the many different houses offered at Drake." Mixers, barbecues, dinners, game nights, themed parties and just hanging out are a few of the events that go on during Rush Week. Drake tries to keep the rushing process as informal and stress-free as possible. While taking tours and listening to the [[http:''www.drake.edu/life/greeklife/resources.php|goals ]]of each house is important, getting to know the people of each house may be the most important of all. To get into a house, a potential member normally needs about a 50-75% approval rate from the entire house. If after Rush Week a student has no interest in joining the Greek Community, they can just notify one of the members and they will be taken off of the contact lists. Rachel Oberheide, a freshman at Drake University, said this about rush week, "it was a great experience and I got to meet a lot of new people!"'''
