Tips for a Successful Recruitment Week:
Be yourself! There is nothing more important than being
yourself during Recruitment. You’ll end up with the right fraternity for
you, and you’ll be happy with your decision.
Evaluate each fraternity carefully. It is important to
make an individual decision about which fraternities you will focus on
during Recruitment. Make sure to compare fraternities and pick the one that has
the most important ideals you are looking for.
Take your time. Joining a fraternity is a momentous decision
and one that will affect the rest of your life. Be sure that the fraternity
that has given you a bid is one you will be happy with. You do not have
to accept a bid.
Dry Recruitment. Alcohol is not allowed at any formal Recruitment activities.
National, University, and IFC policies stipulate that all activities associated
with formal Fraternity Recruitment remain alcohol free.
Ask Questions. Make sure all your questions are sufficiently answered.
Some possible questions you may want to ask are.
- What is your membership education (pledge) period like?
- What is its purpose?
- What are the time and financial commitments involved in joining your fraternity?
- What are the grade requirements?
- What are some of your social activities?
- What makes your fraternity unique?
