2020 FALL RECRUITMENT DATES

Thank you for your interest in the fraternity and sorority community at Rutgers. Students should use this link to register if they are interested in joining an organization from the Interfraternity (IFC), Multicultural (MGC) or Professional Fraternity Council (PFC) or Panhellenic Council (PH).

Fall 2020 recruitment begins September 1st.

The University's Involvement Fair will be held virtually this fall from September 14 -16th. Chapters will host a booth at the virtual fair in addition to holding their own events throughout the month. For a listing of Council-sponsored virtual recruitment events please consult the websites by visiting greeklife.rutgers.edu. Chapters will publish the dates of their virtual recruitment events on their web and social media.

Recruitment concludes with the distribution of invitations to join (bids) on Sunday, September 27th.

REGISTRATION REMINDERS

In order to join a fraternity or sorority, interested students must register with the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to 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 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 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.
