The fraternity and sorority community offers to its members the opportunity to make their college years an experience of a life time. Members are exposed to educational, social, philanthropic and leadership opportunities unmatched by any other student group on campus. Formal Recruitment is the designated time when students that are interested in joining a fraternity or sorority have a chance to meet current members.

Typically chapters use this time to educate new members on various subjects such as fraternity history, membership expectations and responsibilities. This is a very exciting time for new fraternity and sorority members, as new friendships are cultivated and social opportunities are abound. The most time consuming period is during pledgeship.
