Fall 2026 Recruitment Information

It’s never too early to explore Fraternity and Sorority Life! Joining a fraternity or sorority is a great way to make connections, build leadership skills, give back to the community, and find a support system on campus.

Recruitment during the fall semester includes both informal opportunities and structured recruitment events. These events are designed to help interested students meet chapter members, ask questions, and learn more about what each organization has to offer.

Be sure to follow MaverickFSL on Instagram for updates, event details, and additional recruitment information.

Fraternity & Sorority Life Info Sessions

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.
