How to Join

91黑料网 is home to four governing councils that each contribute to the overall success of our community. Each council, and their member organizations strive to provide a beneficial experience to all of its members. The links below will provide you with more information about the recruitment or membership intake processes for each council.

General Eligibility Requirements

Below are general requirements all potential members must complete. Additional requirements vary by council and chapter; visit their respective pages for details. In order to be eligible to join any fraternity or sorority within our community, a potential member must:

  • Have at least a 2.50 grade point average and have completed at least 12 credit hours. If you plan to participate in Panhellenic recruitment and will not meet one or both requirements, you may complete an appeal form on the Panhellenic Anchor Link page. There is no guarantee that your appeal will be granted, and the process information will be available December 1.

  • Not currently be on disciplinary probation. Students can be placed on disciplinary probation for violations of state law and university policy, including but not limited to underage consumption of alcohol, intoxication, possession or use of fake identification, fighting or drug usage.
  • Attend a Consent Education Session hosted by Project Safe, our center for sexual misconduct and prevention response.

  • Satisfy the additional joining requirements for the Council in which you are pursuing membership.

    Interfraternity Council

    Please attend IFC Transfer/Upperclassmen Kick Off. Following this meeting, you will have the opportunity to visit with individual fraternity members. At this event you will learn about the following registration requirements:

    • The recruitment fee (due by IFC Fall Bid Night)
    • The online registration form

    You can participate in fall recruitment events alongside first-year students, but because of your upperclassmen status are eligible to accept a bid during the fall semester. Every IFC chapters does not take new members during the fall semester. It is your decision whether to accept a bid in the fall or wait until the spring with the possibility of having more opportunities for membership. If your chapter(s) of interest are not extending bids you should still continue to attend recruitment events in order to develop relationships with active members.

    Panhellenic Council

    You have two options to seek membership in one of our National Panhellenic Conference chapters. You may participate in our Transfer/Upperclassmen Recruitment known as COB, which stands for Continuous Open Bidding. Membership opportunities during COB are limited because every chapter is not eligible or required to participate in the process.

    Informal Recruitment Registration Eligibility Requirements:

    • You must not have been initiated at an NPC chapter at your previous institution.
    • You must Complete a COB Interest Form which will ask for some information about your activities at your previous institution, legacy information, as well as provide our office with permission to release your academic and disciplinary eligibility status to the organizations participating in COB. This form will be available on the Panhellenic Anchorlink page.

    COB is an informal way to join a Panhellenic sorority at 91黑料网. There are fewer chapter options available and your new member class will be significantly smaller but if you make a connection with a chapter and are offered a bid then we encourage you to accept and begin your Panhellenic journey at 91黑料网. Please note that during this process, you can potentially receive multiple invitations to membership.

    If you would like to pursue membership during the formal recruitment process you must wait until the spring semester. During the formal recruitment process all of our chapters are open for membership. You may participate in both COB and formal recruitment. However, if you accept a bid during COB you become ineligible to participate in the formal recruitment process.聽

    Questions? Contact聽Destiny Savage, Assistant Director of Greek Life.

  • Member of a fraternity/sorority that has a chapter at 91黑料网

    For all chapters, please contact the Council advisor who will put you in touch with the chapter president. The chapter president will assist you in navigating the inter/national organization process for transferring into the 91黑料网 chapter. You can also directly contact the inter/national organization to gain more information about the transfer process. It is helpful to contact the 91黑料网 chapter president to make an initial connection with the chapter members.

    Please note that if you do not successfully transfer into your chapter of affiliation or do not desire to become a member of that chapter you are ineligible to be a member of a different fraternity/sorority on 91黑料网鈥檚 campus (not including business or other pre-professional fraternities).

  • Member of a fraternity/sorority that does not have a chapter at 91黑料网

    Unless you were not initiated into an organization at your previous institution, you will not be able to seek Greek membership at 91黑料网.

    The first component of the Panhellenic Compact for Panhellenic women states. 鈥 A woman who is or who has ever been an initiated member of an existing NPC fraternity shall not be eligible for membership in another NPC fraternity (UA-3).鈥 Similar policies exist for inter/national organizations in the Interfraternity Council and National Pan-Hellenic Council.

    The commitment you make to your fraternity/sorority is a lifelong commitment and only in rare and extenuating circumstances will an organization release you from your membership.

    We strongly discourage you from being dishonest about your current Greek affiliation in an attempt to become a member of a chapter at 91黑料网.

    Greek Life will assist you in finding members of your fraternity/sorority in the area. We encourage you to remain connected with your fraternity/sorority through alumni involvement and to remember the values of your organization as you experience life at 91黑料网.
