Interfraternity Council<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n Please attend IFC Transfer\/Upperclassmen Kick Off. Following this meeting, you will have the opportunity to visit with individual fraternity members. At this event you will learn about the following registration requirements:<\/p>\r\n\r\n The recruitment fee (due by IFC Fall Bid Night)<\/p>\r\n\t<\/li>\r\n\t The online registration form<\/p>\r\n\t<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n You can participate in fall recruitment events alongside first-year students, but because of your upperclassmen status are eligible to accept a bid during the fall semester. Every IFC chapters does not take new members during the fall semester. It is your decision whether to accept a bid in the fall or wait until the spring with the possibility of having more opportunities for membership. If your chapter(s) of interest are not extending bids you should still continue to attend recruitment events in order to develop relationships with active members.<\/p>\r\n\r\n For more information please contact Cam Alden<\/a>, Coordinator of Greek Life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Intercultural Greek Council<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n IGC chapters may conduct membership intake in the fall or spring semester and Upperclassmen\/transfer students may participate in either semester. Stop by the Office of Greek Life or check out social media to find Information Meeting flyers. Interested students must:<\/p>\r\n\r\n Attend an Intake Seminar (dates will be listed on the IGC Intake Page<\/a>).<\/p>\r\n\t<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n Please reach out to Tijuan Neal II <\/a>with any questions or concerns.<\/p>\r\n\r\n National Pan-Hellenic Council<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n NPHC chapters may conduct membership intake in the fall or spring semester. Upperclassmen\/transfer students may participate during the fall semester. Stop by the Office of Greek Life periodically to see whether a flyer is posted with information about your desired chapter of affiliation. Flyers will be labeled as “Interest Meeting”, “Informational”, “Rush Tea”, or “Meet N’ Greet”. Also, it is beneficial for you to attend programs sponsored by the chapter(s) including the “Back 2 School” Events being held at the end of August. If your chapter of interest does not hold intake in a particular semester, please continue attending chapter events and checking periodically for intake information. Interested students must:<\/p>\r\n\r\n Attend an Intake Seminar (dates will be listed on the NPHC Intake Page<\/a>).<\/p>\r\n\t<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n It is strongly recommended that you attend Greek Mystique where you will have an opportunity to learn about all of the NPHC organizations and meet their current members and alumni. Please reach out to Tijuan Neal II<\/a> with any questions or concerns.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Panhellenic Council<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n You have two options to seek membership in one of our nine National Panhellenic Conference chapters. You may participate in our Transfer\/Upperclassmen Recruitment known as COB, which stands for Continuous Open Bidding. Membership opportunities during COB are limited because every chapter is not eligible or required to participate in the process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Informal Recruitment Registration Eligibility Requirements:<\/p>\r\n\r\n You must not have been initiated at an NPC chapter at your previous institution.<\/p>\r\n\t<\/li>\r\n\t You must Complete a COB Interest Form which will ask for some information about your activities at your previous institution, legacy information, as well as provide our office with permission to release your academic and disciplinary eligibility status to the organizations participating in COB. This form will be available on the Panhellenic Anchorlink page.<\/p>\r\n\t<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n COB is an informal way to join a Panhellenic sorority at 杏吧原创. There are fewer chapter options available and your new member class will be significantly smaller but if you make a connection with a chapter and are offered a bid then we encourage you to accept and begin your Panhellenic journey at 杏吧原创. Please note that during this process, you can potentially receive multiple invitations to membership.<\/p>\r\n\r\n If you would like to pursue membership during the formal recruitment process you must wait until the spring semester. During the formal recruitment process all of our chapters are open for membership. You may participate in both COB and formal recruitment. However, if you accept a bid during COB you become ineligible to participate in the formal recruitment process.
