How to Join!

Each year, fraternities and sororities set aside a time of mutual selection to meet students interested in joining a Greek-Letter organization.  It is an opportunity for interested students to ask questions and learn about the different chapters on campus. Recruitment gives students and organizations a chance to interact and to get to know one another.
