Spring 2026 Recruitment Information

It’s not too late to join a fraternity or sorority! Many of our members join during their second semester, or even during their Sophomore and Junior years. There’s no better time than now!

Recruitment during the Spring Semester is done informally by chapters. This means that individual fraternities and sororities will host recruitment events, which they will publicize and invite interested students to attend.

Be sure to follow MaverickFSL on Instagram to find out more about some of these chapter events.

Informal Social Gatherings

No-obligation, no-pressure opportunities to meet people and find out more will be held early during both semesters. These are chances to meet members of our community and other students who, like you, are thinking about joining, or who already have! You do not have to make any commitment at this time. It's a great opportunity to hang out and ask questions. If you're wondering about the difference between Fraternities & Sororities, Fraternity members are those who identify as Male, and Sorority members are those who identify as Female. If you have further questions, feel free to reach out and let us know.

Formal/Structured Recruitment

Our Fraternity Community will provide a structured recruitment process. This is for men who would like a guided introduction to each fraternity chapter. It has become a popular option, even though most men join through informal recruitment in Summer, early Fall, or the Spring Semester. Check out the Fraternity Recruitment information page for more details, a schedule, and registration information.

Our Sorority Community hosts what is called "Partially Structured Recruitment." This is intended to provide an enhanced and more flexible experience for women wishing to join a sorority. Visit the Sorority Recruitment information page for more details, a schedule, and registration information.

Please visit the specific pages for Fraternity or Sorority Recruitment to learn more about the opportunities available for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Have your expectations exceeded, and join our community.
