Fall Recruitment 2019

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 will be available by March 1.

Multicultural Greek Council Fraternity and Sorority Recruitment

The Multicultural Greek Council is comprised of 7 nationally recognized culturally-based and multicultural fraternity and sorority chapters. 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.

Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment 

The formal recruitment process allows potential members to explore 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. During the recruitment process, potential new members will be housed in temporary residence hall accommodations and provided all meals and temporary storage of personal belongings. Potential members are encouraged to have a minimum high school or college GPA of 2.75 in order to join a PHC member sorority.

IFC Fraternity Recruitment

The Interfraternity Council supports and promotes formal recruitment which allows potential members to explore each fraternity on campus. The recruitment process guides potential new members in their pursuit of brotherhood on campus. At the end of each day, chapters will communicate invitations to the potential new members for recruitment events the following day. For Formal recruitment 2018, men participating in recruitment will be housed in fraternity housing throughout the recruitment period and provided temporary storage of personal belongings. Potential members are encouraged to have a minimum high school GPA of 2.75 in order to join an IFC member fraternity.
