Spring '25 Rush

Welcome to Spring ’25 Rush!

We’re the Xi Fellowship, a co-ed fraternity of ~22 residents and assorted campus affiliates housed in the lovely backbay mansion of 253 Commonwealth Ave. We’re a diverse community of nerds that prides itself in its inclusiveness and mutual respect.

Rush is our way of introducing potential new members to our house and community. As you participate in our events and get to know our residents, you’ll learn more about and learn to love our house culture... and possibly join us!

This semester’s Rush events will be held entirely at our house at the address 253 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA 02116. Come and meet our residents (and our cats)!

Unable to attend spring rush? You’re still welcome to come to dinners or our regular social events during the semester and/or show up for CPW rush :)

Tuesday, February 18th to Sunday, February 23rd

Scuttles from campus to Xi Fellowship meets @ Lobby 7, 5:00 PM every day of Rush!
