Rush Information

Sigma Phi Lambda at Texas State University holds its Rush once a year: during the beginning of the fall semester. Rush is an opportunity for interested women to learn more about Sigma Phi Lambda. It is a time for you to decide if you would like to be a part of this fellowship. Unlike Panhellenic sororities, Sisters for the Lord does not choose you, you choose us.
