Prepare a resume to bring to your rush interview if you do not already have one made. If you need help with your resume, we recommend following the Illinois State University’s career services guide or go visit them in the Bone Student Center for in person guidance. We also recommend familiarizing yourself with who we are at the Xi-Psi chapter and why you want to join Alpha Kappa Psi. Be aware of the dress codes for each rush event and follow them to the best of your ability. We do not require you to follow the dress codes exactly as we are aware that some students may not have access to specific attire.
