Fall Recruitment
Joining a fraternity or sorority can be one of the best ways to find your "home away from home" at the University of Idaho.
There are 34 chapters on campus that are a member of one of three communities: Panhellenic Council (PHC), Interfraternity Council (IFC), and Multicultural Greek Council (MGC).
Fall Recruitment takes place prior to the start of the fall semester for PHC and IFC organizations. Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment and IFC Fraternity Recruitment are five day experiences that allow each potential new member the opportunity to learn about the organizations' values, guiding principles, and expectations for membership.
Registration is required for formal recruitment and is available until August 8th for women and August 10th for men.
Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment August 8-13
The formal recruitment process allows potential members to visit each sorority and to find a group of women that feels like their home away from home. At the end of each round, chapters will select potential members to invite back to their next event and potential members will prioritize their selections as well. This mutual selection process allows for the best fit for both the chapter and the new member. Potential members are encouraged to have a minimum high school or college GPA of 2.75 in order to join a PHC member sorority.
