IFC Recruitment gives potential members the opportunity to meet members of each fraternity. The fraternities decide which recruits they wish to invite into membership, and the recruits will choose which fraternity they wish to join. IFC formal recruitment will be held on September 09-13, 2012. To register please go to the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership, University Center 222.

National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) Fraternity and Sorority Membership Intake

NPHC fraternities and sororities (Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.; Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.; Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.; Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.; Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.; Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.; and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.) bring in new members at different times of the year through a process called Membership Intake. Each NPHC group has different requirements for membership, and each conducts intake on its own schedule.

Several of the NPHC fraternities and sororities will hold interest/invitational/informational meetings or other events for prospective members. Please contact the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership at sil@uno.edu or call 504-280-6349.

None of the NHPC organizations allows first-semester freshmen to join. However, at the Greek 101 NPHC will host an information session so these students can learn about the general requirements for membership, what they should (and should not!) do in order to express their interest in an NPHC fraternity or sorority, and much more. They will take questions from the audience as well. Attire is business casual.
