No individual Wildcat should be demeaned, ridiculed, belittled or placed in a potentially

harmful situation in order to be included in a group at the University of Arizona.

Being part of a campus group can be one of the most meaningful aspects of student life.

However, hazing is a hidden and serious problem that undermines the value of these

experiences for many individuals. Hazing is a violation of University of Arizona policy and

Arizona State law. The University of Arizona will investigate any hazing report, and will

always hold individuals or groups accountable if they are found to be hazing. When calling

or emailing it is important to include the name of the organization and as much detail as

possible. Unfortunately, investigations cannot occur if the name of the organization and the

type of incidents that are occurring are not provided.

Fraternity and Sorority Programs has joined together with Campus Health, Residence

Life, Arizona Athletics, the Parent and Family Association and the University of Arizona

Police Department to create a hazing prevention coalition on campus. To prevent hazing

on campus, staff, students, faculty and families must all work together. Information on

prevention and reporting can be found on the Fraternity and Sorority Programs, Dean of

Students, and Hazing Prevention Coalition websites.

STATEMENT ON HAZING


& SORORITY LIFE

Greetings Wildcat Family!

On behalf of Fraternity & Sorority Programs and the Dean of Students Office, I extend a

warm welcome to the University of Arizona’s Greek community!

Being a member of a sorority is a lifetime commitment. I am an active member of my

alumnae chapter and a mentor to undergraduate members. Joining a sorority was one

of the best decisions I made, and as a student affairs professional, I have the pleasure of

continuing my passion for Greek Life by working with the UA Greek community.

Becoming a member of a fraternity or sorority offers one of the most dynamic and

memorable experiences available to you as a college student. Greek Life members

participate in leadership development programs, philanthropies, and service

opportunities. We hope that as a student at the UA, you consider being a part of our

great Greek traditions.

Since 1915, UA fraternity and sorority life has remained a vibrant and respected part of

campus. Becoming a member of this long standing community will give you the chance to

make your mark on campus. I wish you all the best as you start your educational journey.

ACADEMICSWHY GO GREEK?SCHOLARSHIP

FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT:

FRATERNITY & SORORITY PROGRAMS,

[email protected].

30%of fraternity and sorority members received a 3.5 or higher GPA in Fall 2015.

ACADEMICS

DEVELOPMENT

Since the founding of the first fraternity in 1776, fraternities and sororities

have helped college students develop strong networks of support on

campus and beyond. Joining a fraternity or sorority will enhance your

collegiate experience by providing support and resources to help your

academic, leadership, and social development.

GRADUATION & RETENTION

Greek students are significantly more likely to remain at the University

of Arizona for their sophomore year and are significantly more likely to

graduate from the University of Arizona than non-Greek students.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT

Fraternities and sororities offer many resources and programs to

enhance the academic experience for their members. Minimum grade

point averages are required in each chapter for joining, initiation, and

maintenance of good standing. Incentive programs recognize members

for their academic achievement and scholastic effort. Academic efforts

are self-evident, as approximately 33% of fraternity and sorority members

receive a 3.5 GPA on average.

GREEK ACADEMY

Greek Academy is a six session academic program designed to provide Greek

students with new learning and study techniques to improve their academic

success. Session topics include: goal setting, time management, coping with

anxiety, exam preparation, test taking, reading, writing, and math.

Results include increases in: grades, student motivation, diligence,

self-discipline, knowledge acquisition, preparation, and test taking, and

decreases in anxiety related to school performance.

We are excited for you to join Greek Academy and make a commitment to

academic excellence!

Greek Academy costs $155 per student and will begin within

the first 3 weeks of classes.

STANDARDS & EXPECTATIONS

The fraternity and sorority community at the University of Arizona has a long

and rich history, dating back to 1915. Since that time, fraternities and sororities

have had a continual and active presence on campus. In order to ensure that

the fraternal community at the University of Arizona is comprised of viable

values-based organizations, a set of minimum standards were developed to

help guide the mission and activities of our Greek organizations.

The standards take a holistic approach to evaluating chapter activities.

They outline the minimum expectations for Greek-letter organizations to

abide by and/or exceed in the following key areas: Academics, Leadership

& Involvement, Global Citizenship & Human Dignity, Chapter Management,

Membership Education & Development, Recruitment/Outreach, and Health

& Wellness. Chapters are evaluated yearly, to remain in good standing and be

eligible for university awards, services, and goods. Next to each chapter’s

profile in The Bond you will see a symbol that is used to distinguish each

chapter’s standing in relationship to the Standards of Excellence.

FAMILY GUIDE TO GOING GREEK

SAFETY

Fraternity & Sorority Programs is dedicated to ensuring the safety of all

the members of the UA Greek Community.

During recruitment and New Member Symposium students are given

information on topics such as campus safety, hazing, sexual assault

prevention, and alcohol education.

The FSP staff conducts workshops, and each chapter is assigned a UAPD

liaison who can give presentations and act as an educational resource.

Each chapter is also required to have a member serve as the health advocate,

a trained peer educator who serves as a resource for chapter members.

For more information on safety and students check out the UA SafeCats

Program: deanofstudents.arizona.edu/uasafecats

Welcome to Greek Life at the University of Arizona! Your student has many opportunities for

involvement, and we’re pleased that he or she is considering fraternity or sorority membership.

By joining a Greek chapter, your student will be joining hundreds of other new members on our

campus in search of leadership opportunities, community involvement, and life-long friendships.

The fraternity or sorority experience enhances the challenges and rewards of college life. Simply put,

Greek Life adds a dimension to the college experience that can’t be found in other organizations.

Greek Life has a rich history on campus and is one of our most enduring traditions. UA fraternity

and sorority members hold high academic standards, volunteer regularly, develop and strengthen

leadership skills, create a support network, and nurture long-lasting friendships.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Be supportive of your student’s choice to join a fraternity or sorority, and

the organization he or she chooses, regardless of legacies or family history.

• Ask for details from your student about the financial aspects

of membership.

• If you have a question about fraternity or sorority life, go to the source

and ask the UA Fraternity & Sorority Programs (FSP) staff.

• Don’t buy into gossip or hearsay.

• Encourage your student to attend programs sponsored by FSP and the

Dean of Students Office.

• Know the names and phone numbers of the chapter president, new

member educator, big brother/big sister, chapter advisor, and house

director (if applicable), once your student has joined an organization.

• Talk with your student! Phone calls, e-mails, letters, and care packages

are always appreciated.

• Expect to see new t-shirts, photos, and other Greek-letter paraphernalia.

• Join the Parents & Family Association! They can help you get involved

with the UA and answer many questions: uafamily.arizona.edu

• Attend UA Family Weekend and participate in family activities at the

fraternity or sorority chapter house.

• Parents can also visit sororityparents.com for more information on

being a parent of a sorority woman.

• Talk to UA staff about hazing or other safety concerns.

Q&A

Q: What are the costs

associated with joining

a fraternity or sorority?

A: For Interfraternity Council fraternities, new members incur one-time expenses such as an initiation fee. Recurring expenses include: chapter dues, national fees, social fees, and risk management insurance. For organizations with houses, room and board (if living in a chapter facility) may also apply. IFC - See page 36.

For Panhellenic sororities, see page 15.

For NPHC organizations, the expenses paid upon initiation may include the new member and/or initiation fee, pin fee, and national, regional, and local dues. The yearly expenses may include national, regional, and local dues, and risk management insurance. Dues and fees are not known until a student is in the intake process.

For USFC chapters, the totals vary greatly. Encourage your student to inquire about each organization’s specific fees. See page 30.

Q: When can my student join a fraternity or sorority?

A: Each council’s schedules can be found in their sections. The most up-to-date information is always on the Fraternity & Sorority Programs website: greek.arizona.edu

Q: What leadership opportunities are available to Greek students?

A: As a Greek member, students have the opportunity to be a chapter and/or council officer, participate in Greek leadership classes, participate in the Parthenon Program, lead a weekend retreat, and become a peer health educator. All members are also encouraged to become involved in other student organizations, have an internship, or hold a job.

Q: Can my student live in the chapter house as a new member?

A: New members will not receive housing on fraternity or sorority property. Once a student is an initiated member, he or she will be able to participate in each organization’s housing selection process. The process usually occurs in spring and differs for each organization.

Q: What is the University’s stance on alcohol and drug abuse?

A: The University of Arizona recognizes that the use of alcoholic beverages by those of legal age is a matter of personal choice. The University requires that those who choose to drink on University property abide by state law and University regulations, and expects that such individuals will conduct themselves responsibly, mindful of the rights of others.

Q: What kinds of accommodations are available for students with disabilities in fraternities and sororities?

A: Please contact Fraternity & Sorority Programs to explore disability-related access and accommodations. Many chapter facilities are fully accessible and the officer and governing councils try their best to utilize universal design when developing programs and activities. You may also contact Disability Resources for more information on accommodations.

Q: How can I find out what organizations are/have been on probationary periods?

A: To view the disciplinary status of particular organizations, visit greek.arizona.edu. If an organization is not listed on this site, the University does not recognize it.

Q: What is the University’s stance on hazing?

A: The UA seeks to promote a safe environment in which students may participate without compromising their health, safety, or welfare. Hazing is a violation of university policy and state law. For more information see page 3.

For more information, visit our

website or attend an info session

during orientation.

PANHELLENIC COUNCILWHAT IS PANHELLENIC?The Panhellenic Council consists of eight executive officers from various chapters, and

representatives from each chapter. The Council meets biweekly to discuss current issues and

upcoming events. The governing council is also responsible for local Panhellenic operations in

accordance with the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC).

The NPC is a conference of women’s private social fraternities and sororities founded in 1902,

which includes delegates from the 26 member national and international women’s fraternities

and sororities. Please speak to an Executive Officer or Recruitment Counselor about any

comments, questions, or concerns.

PANHELLENIC COUNCIL WHAT IS PANHELLENIC? HELLO FUTURE WILDCATS

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTSUA sororities are dedicated to scholastic success. In order

to extend an invitation for membership, every chapter has a

required minimum GPA potential members must meet.

HIGH SCHOOL GPA RECOMMENDATIONS.

Each chapter internally requires at least a 3.0 GPA from high

school unweighted. These requirements vary, so please refer

to the chapter profiles. While there is no required GPA to

register for recruitment, Panhellenic strongly recommends a

minimum 3.0 high school GPA.

COLLEGE GPA RECOMMENDATIONS.

Panhellenic also recommends a 2.75 college GPA to participate

in Formal Fall Recruitment. Only students who have been full

time college students and have either transferred to or been

enrolled full time at the UA should indicate a college GPA.

HELLO FUTURE WILDCATS!On behalf of the UA Panhellenic Council, I would like to invite you to become a member of one

of the most prestigious Greek communities in the nation. Our Panhellenic community consists

of diverse and unique sororities that work to better the individuals of their chapters, as well

as the University and the Tucson community. Joining Greek Life is one of the most satisfying

and rewarding experiences that this university can offer. Each of our sororities is unique, but

strives to uphold similar values and ideals while providing a secure environment with building

blocks for your future college experience.

As a new student to the University of Arizona, joining Greek Life was one of the best decisions

I made. When I decided to participate in sorority recruitment I was familiar with the stigmas

that often come with Greek Life: You pay for your friends. All we do is party. School is never

focused on. But when I entered a sisterhood, I soon realized that all of these rumors could not

be further from the truth. I have found my best friends, have been presented with numerous

resources to excel in school, and have been encouraged by the women in Greek Life to give

back, be a leader, and be a catalyst of change within the Tucson community. Welcome to the

Wildcat Family and I strongly encourage you to go Greek!

Sincerely,

Allie Patberg

2016 Panhellenic President

A WEEK IN THE LIFE OF A SORORITY WOMAN

12

A WEEK IN THE LIFE OF A SORORITY WOMANAs you start the recruitment process, you may be wondering what

being in a sorority will be like. To better prepare you for life as a sorority

woman, here is a typical week’s schedule for a chapter member!

MONDAY

Today you will most likely have classes during the day with breaks

for meals and studying. In the evening, all chapters hold their weekly

meetings between the times of 5:30pm and 8pm. Most chapters also

have chapter dinners before their meetings, beginning around 5pm.

Schedule your classes to end before 4pm so you can have time to

change into the appropriate chapter attire. It is vital that you do not

miss chapter meetings!

TUESDAY – THURSDAY

During the week each individual chapter maintains a unique

schedule. These days will usually consist of sisterhood events, study

hours, new member education sessions, and chapter committee

meetings. Once you become a member, you will be able to take

advantage of a variety of activities. Plan to spend at least 5 hours

total at chapter events or meetings during the week, not including

Monday night meetings.

FRIDAY – SUNDAY

Weekends for Panhellenic women are filled with community service,

philanthropy events, social events, and chapter events! Each chapter

will have a minimum GPA that you must maintain in order to remain

a member in good standing, so you want to plan out your study

hours first and other sorority activities second. Managing your

schedule is key to getting the most out of your sorority experience!

TIME MANAGEMENT

There are many fun and exciting activities for sorority women to

participate in and it is easy to become overwhelmed, especially

your first semester. Any sorority woman has to have excellent time

management skills to balance family, friends, academics, sorority

membership, and any other activities. As a new member, tell your

new member educator or big sister if you are overwhelmed and need

time to study, work, or spend time with family!

RECRUITMENT INFORMATION

POTENTIAL NEW MEMBER ORIENTATIONPotential New Member Orientation will provide women

with the schedule and all policies regarding recruitment.

This is a required meeting on Saturday, August 13th, from

6:30 – 9pm. Women will hear educational speakers, and

be divided into groups to meet with their recruitment

counselors at other campus locations. (Location TBA)

PARENT & FAMILY INFORMATION MEETINGFamilies of potential new members are invited to attend

an informational meeting on Saturday, August 13th from

8 – 9pm (location TBA). Families will receive information

about recruitment week events, and a general overview of

UA sorority life. Families will also learn how women will

obtain scholastic support, gain community and volunteer

experience, establish networking relationships with alumni,

and develop close friendships with chapter members.

Attend to ask questions of other parents, Panhellenic

officers, and UA staff.

WHAT IS RECRUITMENT?Recruitment is an opportunity for women to visit the (NPC) Panhellenic chapters on our campus.

Women will meet every chapter and learn what each has to offer. As the week continues, women

attend fewer, yet longer events. At the end of the week, women will make a final decision by

selecting the sorority that is right for them.

DONATION ITEMYou will be assigned an item to bring to

participate in the Panhellenic donation drive.

You will be sent your assignment via email

HOUSING AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION

SORORITY LIVINGThe average number of active members living in a chapter house is 50, so the majority of

members do not live in. Each house is managed on a day-to-day basis by a full-time house

director (aka house mom).

Chapter living facilities house only initiated members (usually sophomores and juniors).

New members live in their respective residence halls, off-campus apartments or houses.

All new members are welcome to visit the chapter house. Lunch and a specific number of

dinners and weekend meals are provided to new members of housed chapters.

FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONSJoining a sorority is a large financial commitment. The chart on page 15 will help you

understand sorority fees. A more detailed breakdown of sorority dues and fees is available

on the Panhellenic website (greeklife.arizona.edu). The fees are broken down by member

status and by type of living arrangement.

Part of each member’s fees go toward expenses such as officer budgets, academic

programming, recruitment, service projects, sisterhood activities, social functions, and

special events. Each sorority includes different items in their costs, hence the differences

between chapters.

The first year of membership is usually the most expensive due to one-time fees such as

national initiation fees, pins, and badges. You will find that the fees for living in a sorority

house are comparable, or sometimes less, than living in a residence hall or nearby apartment.

When considering the financial aspects of joining a sorority, it is important to keep in mind

that membership in a sorority is a different lifestyle, one that cannot be compared to living in

a residence hall and being involved in other organizations.

INFORMATION DURING RECRUITMENTThroughout recruitment events, each sorority is asked to post an itemized financial

breakdown, so please ask any questions you might have about dues and other obligations.

Additionally, each sorority will post their financial information at the parent and family

informational meeting.

FINANCIAL QUESTIONSIf you have questions related to finances prior to recruitment, please call the

Panhellenic Office and speak to one of our Panhellenic executive officers

at 520-621-0759.

After a woman joins a chapter, please contact the chapter directly with financial questions.

Some sororities at the UA will work with you to create financial plans that meet your individual needs. Dues and fees for the

semester are required to be paid in full each semester. Many chapters will only discuss finances with chapter members and not

parents or family members.

GET COMFORTABLERecruitment can be long and tiring, and it’s hot in Arizona.

Make sure your attire is comfortable every day — this may

include comfortable shoes, light clothing, and sun screen.

Dress in whatever will help you be comfortable for long days.

RECRUITMENT REGISTRATION DEADLINE HOUSING AND FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION

WHO RECEIVES A BID?It is highly likely that women who remain in the sorority

recruitment process the entire time will receive a bid which is

an invitation to join a sorority. However, the chapter may not

have been that woman’s first choice. It is important to keep in

mind that no woman is ever guaranteed a bid. Each year there

are women who are released from recruitment during the

week or are not offered a bid.

Q: Where do I live before and during

Recruitment?

A: Potential New Members should be moved into

their permanent living arrangements for the year

before recruitment begins.

Q: What are Recommendations? Do I need them

to participate in Membership Recruitment?

A: A Recommendation is a letter of introduction

from a former sorority member (alumna) written

about a Potential New Member. This letter or form

tells the sorority more about your personality,

academics, and activities. Alumnae will be able to

obtain a form (or often a letter is sufficient) supplied

by the sorority’s national office.

Although recommendations are a benefit to the

Potential New Member, they are not required.

Recommendations should be sent by the alumna

directly to the address on the Panhellenic website.

academic year, you may move into your hall on

Saturday, August 13th during your move-in time,

Q: What time do I move in?

A: You will have a specific 1 hour time window to

move in. We ask you to come sometime during that

window to make the process easier for you and

other students.

Q: How do I notify Residence Life about moving

in early for Recruitment?

A: You won’t need to. If you are living in the

residence halls, Fraternity & Sorority Programs will

notify Residence Life that you will be moving in on

Saturday, August 13th. You do not need to contact

Residence Life.

Q: Where can I get additional information about

moving into the residence halls?

A: Please visit www.life.arizona.edu.

MEAL PLANS & OTHER FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS

Q: Do I need to purchase a pre-paid UA Meal

Plan if I join a sorority?

A: Sorority houses have their own meal plan

programs, so it is not necessary to purchase a UA

Meal Plan. However, snacks and weekend meals

are not included, and you may want to purchase a

campus meal plan for missed meals and extra food.

We recommend the commuter meal plan. For more

info go to: union.arizona.edu/mealplans

Q: What if I need to spread out my payments?

A: Some sororities will work with you to create

financial plans that meet your needs. Dues and fees

for the semester are required to be paid in full each

semester, or prior to initiation.

Q: Why are some sororities more expensive?

A: Chapter dues vary widely because of

differences in meal plans, the size of the chapter

structure itself, as well as whether or not social

functions and programming fees are included.

WELCOME WILDCATS!The National Pan-Hellenic Council at the University of Arizona congratulates you on

your acceptance to this prestigious institution. The decision to attend a university, as

well as joining any Greek letter organization, is a huge — but abundantly rewarding

— decision. We want to invite you to explore the organizations that the National

Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC). Each NPHC organization places exceptional value on

their grand history and traditions as well as lifelong membership. Bonds are forged

for life between chapter members and council organizations. Our brotherhoods and

sisterhoods scale the globe, but at the UA, our common goal is to be a proactive and

progressive force through the community by engaging in public service, maintaining

scholastic excellence, and interacting positively with our fellow students.

The African American Greek-letter movement began in the early 1900s on to provide

black students with opportunities for meaningful cultural interactions and to work

together to render services to improve the conditions in their local environments.

Although the organizations that make up the NPHC are historically African American

by no means does that define who we accept into our community. We welcome,

encourage and accept interests from all walks of life.

We recommend that you research the organizations of NPHC that interest you by

visiting their respective websites. If being a part of the Divine Nine — or any Greek

organization — is not for you, please be assured that you have a friend in us as fellow

scholars of the UA. Regardless of your decision to join one of the National Pan-Hellenic

Council organizations or not, note that we are still here to assist in your transition to

the university. Good luck in your decision and journey of this next and wondrous stage

of your life!

INTERFRATERNITY COUNCILRECRUITMENT REGISTRATIONRECRUITMENT PROCESS

Dear Prospective Fraternity Member:

Welcome! The University of Arizona has many excellent traditions that aid in creating

an outstanding academic institution and a rich college life for its students. One of the

outstanding traditions at the University of Arizona is Greek Life. Since 1915, the fraternities

at UA have developed the qualities of scholarship, leadership, service and brotherhood.

These four pillars have created the framework that has shaped our community.

Each of our fraternal organizations is different and has something unique to offer to

everyone. Despite having different Greek letters and rituals, the overall goal remains the

same; each fraternity strives to develop its members into balanced men prepared to take

on life’s challenges as society’s future leaders. In addition, Greek men are charged to hold

themselves to a higher standard both academically and morally.

Greek letter organizations were founded on the principle of successful scholarship.

Furthermore, we are students and our primary focus at the University of Arizona is receiving

a world-class education. Greeks consistently prove to be leaders throughout campus both

in and out of the classroom. In addition to leadership and campus involvement, fraternities

also dedicate themselves to various philanthropic endeavors in an effort to give back to the

Tucson and UA communities. Whether it is becoming involved in your chapter, campus, or

community, a fraternity will give you an advantage that most students do not have when

first coming to campus. That advantage is already having a networking group that will

support you in accomplishing your goals and endeavors.

Going Greek has been the best decision I made here. Between brotherhood, leadership,

philanthropy, academics, and intramural sports, joining a fraternity will not only enrich your

college experience but will guide you throughout your life. Go Wildcats and Bear Down!

Fraternally,

Nick Loper2016 Interfraternity Council President

Q&ARECRUITMENT FAQ’S

Q: Do I need to register for recruitment?

A: Yes! In order to participate in recruitment

and receive a bid from any organization, you

must be registered for recruitment and have

paid the registration fee. By registering for

recruitment your name and information is made

available to all the IFC fraternities. However, just

because you registered for recruitment does not

mean you will receive a bid for membership.

Remember, recruitment is about getting to

know the chapters, and letting the chapters get

to know you.

It is important that you make an effort to meet

as many fraternity men as possible throughout

the recruitment process. The cost to register

is $100 which covers computer processing

fees, recruitment supplies, 2 lunches, room

reservations, and evening programming activities.

The last day to register for fraternity recruitment

is August 1 at 11:59pm. This deadline will be

strictly enforced as those who miss this deadline

will not be allowed to participate in recruitment.

There will be absolutely no exceptions.

Q: Will I need to move in early to participate in

IFC Recruitment?

A: Potential New Members should be moved into

their permanent living arrangements for the year

when recruitment begins.

If you are living in a residence hall during the

academic year, you may move into your hall on

Monday, August 15th during your move-in time,

which you will get in late-July. A $50 daily “early

move-in” fee will be charged for each day (August

15-17) by Residence Life and will be billed directly

to your Student Bursar Account. You do not need

to notify Residence Life about moving in early

for Recruitment. If you are living in the residence

halls, Fraternity & Sorority Programs will notify

Residence Life that you will be moving in on

Monday, August 15. You do not need to contact

Residence Life. Get more information about

moving into the residence halls by visiting www.

life.arizona.edu

Q: What is a “Bid”? How do I receive one? And

what if I don’t?

A: A bid is an invitation to join an organization’s

new member program. Each chapter gives out as

many bids as they want, until they have their ideal

new member class. During the formal recruitment

process those participating will visit each of the

IFC chapters to help them find their best fit! It is

MONDAY, AUGUST 15 Men should be completely moved into their residence hall,

house, or apartment by 6pm on this day.

Get more information in the Q&A.

SCHEDULEFAQ’S

mandatory to participate in the entire week and

visit all chapters you are invited to in order to be

eligible to receive a bid on bid day. To increase your

odds of getting a bid participate with an open mind,

be above the GPA requirement, and be yourself.

Around 50% of men who sign up for recruitment do

not join. For men not receiving a bid during the fall

formal recruitment process there are many other

ways to get involved at the University of Arizona

and they may participate in informal recruitment

in the spring! A man who is not invited back to any

chapters or who does not receive a bid will receive a

phone call prior to the first event of the day.

Q: If I go through recruitment,

do I have to join?

A: No! Recruitment is a time to see what fraternity

and sorority life can offer you. Going through

recruitment does not commit you to join. It is a

great way to learn more about campus and meet

new people.

Q: What happens at recruitment events and

what should I wear?

A: The first day of recruitment you will learn about

each of the chapters through talking with the

members and listening to short presentations. This

day is long so dress casual yet put together. This is

your chance to make a good first impression. The

next two rounds of recruitment each fraternity

organizes daily events to best showcase their

organization. You will receive information on what

the activities are when you check in for recruitment.

This will vary based upon which chapters you will be

visiting however you some common events include

cook outs, card games, and basketball. The final

round of recruitment is called Preference. Business

casual is suggested as this day the fraternities will

be sharing what their fraternity means to them in a

more formal setting.

* All Day Events – As scheduling is on an individual basis starting on Tuesday, it is not possible to know the daily recruitment schedule in advance. Attempts will be made to schedule around any academic conflicts.

GENERAL FAQ’S

Q: What fraternity should I join?

A: There is no one right answer as each individual

has different desires and needs and the best way to

find out what chapter is ideal for you is to simply

go out and meet the chapters. Know your individual

goals for what you want to achieve during your time

in college as far as academic standards, leadership

responsibilities, community service, etc. goes and find

a chapter that helps you work towards those goals

and elevate your own personal standards. Obviously

choose a chapter that you match personality wise

with brothers in the chapter, as they will be your

friends and brothers for not only the four years of

college, but for the rest of your life as well.

Q: What is the IFC?

A: The Interfraternity Council, or IFC, is the governing

body of all social fraternities on campus. The council

consists of elected individuals from the individual

chapters in the community. The council establishes

the laws and policies that the chapters must abide

by, enforces said policies, and serves to provide

resources and opportunities to the fraternities and

any individuals looking to join a fraternity. The IFC

executive board facilitates the formal recruitment

process with the help of recruitment counselors who

are also members of the individual IFC fraternities.

Q: What is the GPA requirement?

A: The Interfraternity Council has a minimum GPA

requirement to be eligible for membership, which

requires the following: a 2.75 minimum high school

GPA for those men who are coming straight from

high school and a 2.50 minimum college GPA for

those who are returning or transfer students. There

are no exceptions to this policy, so we encourage

those who do not meet the minimum GPA

requirements to focus on your academics and

participate in recruitment when you meet the

academic requirements.

In 2015 no men under the GPA requirement

became fraternity members.
