Formal Recruitment
2022 RECRUITMENT DATES
AUGUST 30, 2022- SEPTEMBER 2, 2022
IFC Formal Recruitment Week is a one week program, typically held in the fall semester, concentrating on potential members becoming acquainted with the individual fraternities and fraternity system as a whole. The week begins with a recruitment orientation meeting. At this meeting, the students participating in the week’s activities will be further instructed in what they should expect in the coming week.
Each following recruitment party will further educate the potential members about each fraternity. During these functions potential members will talk and interact with fraternity members, and watch presentations on the individual fraternities’ activities and values. These will help the potential member see the significance of fraternity life and the honor and brotherhood that comes with it.
Formal Registration Fee…
Each incoming potential member must pay $10 to participate in the formal recruitment process. This helps cover the costs of the recruitment. Those who pay the recruitment fee before August 26th will be entered into a special raffle.

Being a New Member
This is the time between when a man joins a fraternity and his initiation into that fraternity. Each fraternity has a new member education experience that can last from about 6 to 8 weeks to a whole semester, depending on the individual chapter, the national organization, and other Greek organizations at Delta State. This is a time in a man’s life when lifelong friends are made and when some of the most memorable moments of your college career take place. Being a new member gets you involved in campus activities quickly by participating in many events that the campus holds. New member classes usually meet one night each week to discuss the activities of the upcoming week and learn about the fraternity joined. Most fraternities establish special scholarship programs to assist members with their studies. Participation in service projects and social activities is also an important part of the semester’s activities.
Any regularly enrolled male at Delta State University, who is neither on social nor scholastic probation and is properly registered for membership recruitment, is eligible for participation. Each individual fraternity has its own minimum scholastic requirements to consider in the selection process.
