RECRUITMENT SCHEDULE

Please note that all events listed below are mandatory. You are expected to arrive on time and to stay for the duration of the event. Late arrival or unexcused absences will result in your disqualification from the recruitment process.

You will receive a detailed recruitment schedule at the meeting on Wednesday, February 5. An overview of the formal recruitment schedule can be found below:

Wednesday February 5, 9pm-11pm: First Round of Recruitment (Young 113)

Thursday February 6, 7:30pm-10pm: Second Round (Warehouse/Greek Row)

Friday February 7, 9:15pm-11:45pm: Third Round (Warehouse/Greek Row)

Saturday February 8, 12:30pm: Mandatory Meeting to Announce New Member Classes (Ewen Room, Campus Center)

**Please note that all events are mandatory. If you are unable to attend any of the events listed above or will need to arrive late/depart early, you must contact Wayne Kreis (wayne.kreis@centre.edu) or Jake Williams (jake.williams@centre.edu) by no later than Tuesday February 4th at 4pm in order to obtain prior approval for your absence.**

(See below for more information regarding the Formal Recruitment Absence Policy.)

EXCUSED ABSENCE POLICY

All recruitment events are mandatory, unless a student contacts Wayne Kreis (wayne.kreis@centre.edu) or Jake Williams (jake.williams@centre.edu), in advance to obtain an approved absence.

The following are considered valid reasons for missing a recruitment event, if approval is obtained in advance:

1.) Academic commitments (including classes, meetings, experiential learning opportunities, drama rehearsals/productions, orchestra, and music ensembles.)

2.) Athletic commitments (including practices and/or competitions)

3.) Illness

4.) Family emergency.

It is the student's responsibility to contact Wayne or Jake by no later than February 4 at 4pm if he/she will be missing, arriving late, or departing early from any formal recruitment event.

The Director of Greek Life, the Assistant Director of Greek Life, and IFC Exec will work with students who have approved absences to ensure that their opportunity to join a fraternity is not compromised in any way. Failure to notify Wayne Kreis (wayne.kreis@centre.edu) or Jake Williams (jake.williams@centre.edu) in advance of anticipated absences, however, may jeopardize a student's ability to participate in the formal recruitment process.

Students who fail to attend a mandatory recruitment event and did not notify Scotty Rainwater to obtain preapproval for their absence will not be permitted to continue the formal recruitment process and will not be eligible to receive a bid to join a chapter.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS & RECORD RELEASE

I understand that I must have a 2.3 cumulative grade point average in order to participate in formal recruitment. I also understand that the College highly recommends that students participating in recruitment have at least a 2.4 GPA. Each chapter has also established a minimum GPA requirement for membership in their organization. Academic achievement is highly valued within Centre's Greek community, and as a result chapters rarely make exceptions to their GPA requirements. Students should not expect to receive an invitation to join a chapter if they do not meet the chapter's GPA requirement.

Chapter Minimum GPA Requirements

Beta Theta Pi: 2.8

Delta Kappa Epsilon: 2.3

Phi Delta Theta: 2.3

Phi Kappa Tau: 2.4

Sigma Alpha Epsilon: 2.5

Sigma Chi: 2.5

By registering for recruitment, you are also authorizing the release of your grades for recruitment purposes to the Director of Greek Life and each chapter's recruitment chairperson, chapter advisor, and recruitment advisor. You also authorize the release of your academic information to the Director of Greek Life for the duration of your affiliation with a Greek organization at Centre College for academic performance purposes.

GENDER IDENTITY STATEMENT
