Recruitment & Intake

Joining a fraternity or sorority at Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ is a wonderful way to be involved with campus life, find a group of life-time friends and mentors, participate in philanthropic and community service activities, and increase your leadership skills. Chapters coordinate their recruitment efforts with the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life through each Council – the Interfraternity Council (IFC), the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), or the College Panhellenic Council (CPC).
