Fraternity Recruitment

Fraternity Recruitment takes place September 9-18, 2019. The Interfraternity Council uses a semi-structured recruitment where membership offers, or “bids”, may be distributed any time in the academic year after the fourth week of classes. Each fraternity plans its own recruitment events September 19-17 and will distribute “bids” starting on September 18 at the Interfraternity Council’s Welcome Night.

Any student interested in fraternity life should complete the Fraternity Recruitment Registration Form. Any student interested in participating in the Phi Delta Theta recruitment process should visit futurephidelt.org.

Anyone participating in the fraternity recruitment process should look for a chapter where they feel the most comfortable. Fraternity membership is a lifelong commitment.

These events are a great way to meet a lot of new people!
