Formal Recruitment

The primary way Potential New Members (PNMs) join. Formal Recruitment, often called "Rush," is a structured, week-long process held each fall, where PNMs visit chapters and narrow down their options through mutual selection.

Open Bidding

Fraternities can invite new members outside of the formal recruitment process, typically after Formal Recruitment in the fall and again in the spring, but participation and timing vary by chapter and academic calendar. Not all fraternities participate.

Membership Intake

NPHC fraternities and sororities have their own schedule and requirements for recruiting new members throughout the year. Students interested in joining must attend the mandatory Greek Forum, held at the beginning of both the fall and spring semesters, to learn more about the intake process for each organization.

An informal recruitment process Panhellenic sororities use after Formal Recruitment in the fall to add new members. This helps them reach their membership goals, such as quota. Not all sororities participate.
