How to Join a Fraternity or Sorority
The process for joining a Greek organization is called "Recruitment" or "Intake,"
but often you will hear it referred to as "Rush." The Recruitment/Intake process varies from campus
to campus. At the University of Central Florida (UCF), we have an active recruitment process. Active
recruitment means you may join an organization any time the organization is doing invitations
to join.
Students must have a minimum overall GPA
of a 2.5 to join a fraternity or sorority. Certain organizations may have higher GPA standards. Joining a
fraternity or sorority requires making an educated decision about the organization of which you will be a
life-long member. Please utilize both local and chapter websites, as well as asking the following questions
of organizational leaders and individual members:
- How will membership in this organization benefit me? Academically? Personally?
- What is the organization looking for in an ideal member?
- What leadership opportunities are available for me in this organization?
- Does this organization perform community service regularly? Will I be asked to perform individual community service hours each quarter?
- Will I be required to live in the chapter's facility (if applicable) as a member?
- How long is the organization's new member/pre-initiation/membership intake period (if applicable)? What will be expected of me during this time?
- What were the organization's greatest accomplishments of the past quarter/year?
- What are the financial obligations of membership?
- What is the time requirement for recruitment/intake?

Diversified Greek Council (DGC) Intake (Recruitment)
Culturally-based fraternities and sororities.
Visit the Diversified Greek Council web site at
http://dgcucf.synthasite.com/
Recruitment/Intake Process
DGC prides itself in having a distinct type of recruitment process. We believe that because this is a lifetime commitment one needs ample time to choose the organization that would best suit them. This not only allows the organization a chance to get to know their potential members inside and out but also allows the potential members to get to know the organization’s membership.
Meet The Greeks
Although the Diversified Greek Council does not have a formal recruitment period such as Rush, DGC does host an informational event that allows interested students to meet with the organizations that are a part of the council, as well as other invited organizations. This event is called “Meet The Greeks”, and is held in both the Fall and Spring semesters. The event serves as an opportunity for students to witness some of the traditions of our organizations like stepping, strolling, and saluting as well as learn some facts about each organization on the council. While at the event each student will also have a chance to meet a large assortment of DGC members so that they can get a feel for which organization they feel they would best fit into.
