College is a time to make connections that will last a lifetime, friends who want to see you succeed, and more importantly, brothers and sisters who support you on that journey. Joining a Fraternity or Sorority is a lifetime commitment to being a better version of yourself.

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.    

     Monday, August 26, 8-10pm, CSU 253/4/5 

     All Sorority Social: Meet women from each sorority chapter, and learn what each group has to offer. Come and go as you please. Refreshments provided.

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..
