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 33 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.
Multicultural Greek Council Fraternity and Sorority Recruitment

Its primary purpose is to unite member organizations to share ideas and provide a support network for students. MGC Chapters are inclusive, you don’t need to identify with a specific cultural or racial identity to qualify for membership. Fraternities and sororities affiliated with MGC do not participate in a formal recruitment process, rather identify new members throughout the academic year and during themed weeks.
