FALL 2021 FRATERNITY & SORORITY RECRUITMENT

Thanks for your interest in the fraternity and sorority community at RU.

From August 31 - September 19th the Interfraternity, Multicultural, Panhellenic and Professional Fraternity Councils will be hosting recruitment events on behalf of their member organizations. These events are run by the Officers and Recruitment Teams of the Councils and are meant to help you learn more about what fraternity and sorority life is like at RU. Visit each Council's site for details.

From September 20 - October 2 fraternities and sororities will hold their own individual recruitment events. Keep an eye on Rutgers getInvolved to learn about individual chapter events as well as on chapter websites and social media.

On October 3rd most chapters will finish their fall recruitment with the distribution of invitations to join. Chapters may continue to recruit after this date, so keep watching their social media accounts.

REGISTRATION REMINDERS

In order to join a fraternity or sorority, a student must register with the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs and have their academic eligibility verified.

When a student registers they complete an online profile, which will be shared with all organizations. Take your time when completing the profile. Answer all questions completely - the more information you provide the more the fraternities and sororities can learn about you. You'll be asked to upload a photo to your registration - this is optional, not required. Should you decide to share a photo, a close up is best as it allows chapters to accurately identify you. No need for anything out of the ordinary...just be yourself!

ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY POLICY

To be considered for membership a student must first meet the following requirements before they can be asked to join:

1. Successfully complete at least twelve (12) credits at Rutgers University-New Brunswick (including E credits, excluding AP credits).

2. Earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50

3. Be enrolled as a full-time, undergraduate student at Rutgers University-New Brunswick

Many of our chapters have a higher academic requirement than the one listed here. Be sure to ask about individual fraternity or sorority academic expectations when you attend their recruitment events.

Transfer Students: are eligible to participate in fall Intake/Recruitment, and join an organization, as long as they have successfully completed at least 12 credits at their previous institution and are registered for at least 12 credits at Rutgers - New Brunswick. Once a student has completed a semester at Rutgers and has Rutgers grades and credits they are considered an Upper-class/Continuing Student, not a Transfer. After the completion of the first semester at Rutgers, a Transfer student's eligibility will only be determined by the Rutgers grades/credits, not an average of RU grades and those from the previous institution.

First-Year Students: are encouraged to attend recruitment events, but are not eligible to join until they complete their first semester at RU and meet the other stated eligibility requirements.

Upper-class/Continuing Students: any students awaiting grade changes, replacement of temporary grades, summer session updates, etc. must have all academic eligibility issues resolved and verified by OFSA before they may be asked to join.
