Schedule for Fall Fraternity Recruitment

Sunday, August 30 - Fraternity Preview Day (MANDATORY FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS)

The Interfraternity Council Executive Board, along with the fraternity community, will host Fraternity Preview Day, which will allow Potential New Members to learn more about the chapter. During this Preview Day, you will hopefully have all your questions about the recruitment process answered! 

Recruitment Schedule - Open House Style

It will be up to you to decide which recruitment events you would like to attend from Monday, August 31, 2026, until the evening of Friday, Sept. 11, 2026. You may also receive invitations from chapters to attend recruitment events.

Fraternity Bid Day - Sunday, September 13 (Begins at 2:00 pm)

Bid Day is the final event of fraternity recruitment, and the day you will receive a bid to join a chapter!

 

Estimated Costs

Each chapter's semester dues vary. Dues range from $500 - $700 per semester. The cost of living in the chapter house is established by the University. It is the same price as the residence halls. While you are learning about chapters during Fraternity Preview Day or any other Open House/Recruitment Event, it may be a good idea to ask about the cost while you are there.
