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?
