    IFC Recruitment Registration Student Organization Conduct

    Fraternity Recruitment

    Recruitment is a structured process for you to learn more about joining a fraternity and for fraternities to ask men to join their chapter. The Interfraternity Council organizes recruitment for the chapters it governs during September and early January for eligible candidates. Fraternity recruitment consist of "round robin," where the potential new members will meet all of the fraternities in one night; and one round of events by each individual chapter on separate nights. The men partaking in fraternity recruitment may attend all of the events by all chapters or they may choose which chapters’ events to attend. This will be a fun, memorable week!

    All students are able to visit the chapters at the Fraternity & Sorority Life sponsored events and the philanthropy events they host throughout the semester. Check out our FSL calendar for more information on these events.

    Eligibility Requirements

    Fraternity and Sorority Life at the University of North Georgia is located at the Dahlonega Campus, but any UNG student who meets the below criteria may seek membership.

    To be eligible to seek membership in a fraternity or sorority at UNG, the student must be enrolled in a baccalaureate or associate program. In addition, they must meet the following criteria before pursuing membership in a fraternity or sorority:     

    • 2.5 minimum GPA (some chapters do expect higher as designated by their Inter/national and local policies) 
    • Must have completed a semester of college while not concurrently enrolled in high school
    • Full-time student status in a baccalaureate or associate program
    • Cadets must be off Quarters (2.5 GPA and 14 credit hours) 

    Deferred Recruitment

    Because the University of North Georgia believes that first-year students need to focus on academics first to ensure the most successful transition to college possible, we practice what is known as Deferred Recruitment. This provides the opportunity for first-year students participating in recruitment to become accustomed to college classes, get involved in other activities, and make friends before joining a fraternity or sorority. Deferred Recruitment also offers a better opportunity to learn about the commitments and meaning of sorority and fraternity membership prior to joining.
