Why did I mention "rush" in conjunction with this event? Well, according to event organizers, "Each association in attendance will have a representative who will be available to explain their respective legal organization’s goals and benefits of membership."
Unlike the fraternity or sorority rushes you may recall from your undergraduate days, however, you, the prospective attendee, will be able to pledge more than one bar association. In fact, that's kind of the whole idea: Meet representatives of a whole bunch of bar associations and join a new bar group, or two, or 10 -- and without fear of hazing.
Participating bar groups include the Advocates Society, the Alliance of Illinois Judges, the Arab American Bar Association of Illinois, the Asian American Bar Association of Greater Chicago, the Black Men Lawyers' Association, the Black Women Lawyers' Association of Greater Chicago, the Chicago Bar Association, the Cook County Bar Association, the Decalogue Society, the Filipino American Lawyers Association, Hellenic Bar Association, the Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois, the Illinois State Bar Association, LAGBAC (Chicago’s LGBTQ+ Bar Association), the Northwest Suburban Bar Association, the Puerto Rican Bar Association of Illinois, the South Asian Bar Association of Chicago, the Seventh Circuit Bar Association, and the Women's Bar Association of Illinois.
Also, the American Arbitration Association is on the list. It's not a bar association, but someone will be there from that group, too.
Back in the day, did Student Council get a booth at Fall Rush?
Regardless, tickets for the event are $40 apiece and are available at this link.
