THE RECRUITMENT PROCESSEach of the three fraternity and sorority councils at

CMU have different methods of recruiting new members.

The best way to meet all the fraternity and sorority

organizations is at MainStage right before classes start in

the fall. Fraternities and sororities are also present at Get

Acquainted Day. Several recruitment/intake events will

be held by chapters and councils throughout the semester.

Anyone seeking to join a fraternity or sorority at CMU

must have at least a 2.6 cumulative GPA, or a 3.0 high

school GPA, if no college GPA is established.

Anyone seeking to join a fraternity or sorority at CMU

must take the Potential New Member online module,

which is available on the main fraternity and sorority

website before they are given a bid to join a fraternity or

sorority. If you have any questions or would like more

information about fraternity and sorority life, please

contact the Office of Student Activities and Involvement.

Hazing is against Michigan law and CMU policy. A student shall not bully, haze, harass, or stalk any person or group of persons. Telephone harassment, texting, email, computer or online social media harassment, stalking, racial and sexual harassment are included under this policy,

as are all other forms of bullying and harassment not specifically mentioned here. Any organizations or individuals found to be participating in or supporting hazing of any kind are sanctioned up to and including removal from campus and prosecution in a court of law.

The National Pan-Hellenic Council membership selection process is called Membership Intake. NPHC chapters typically accept students after they have completed at least 12-24 credit hours with a minimum GPA set by each chapter.

Potential members are encouraged to

attend events and informational meetings by any NPHC chapter to show interest. This will allow you to see what each chapter is all about and get to know current members of the organization. Make sure to research the different NPHC chapters on campus to find the perfect one for you.

Panhellenic Recruitment is an opportunity for women to visit all of the CPC sororities on campus. Each sorority is unique in its own way. This allows potential members to see every option and find the best match for them.

Each day in Panhellenic Recruitment focuses on a different part of the sorority, such as a sisterhood day or philanthropy

day. Each chapter talks about the topic of the day so that potential members can learn each component of the sorority.

Recruitment is done through a mutual selection process. Each day of recruitment, you will narrow down selections by preferencing chapters. The sororities also preference potential members after each day.

The Interfraternity Council’s recruitment period happens during the fall and spring semesters. Recruitment begins as an open process and men are encouraged to check out the chapters throughout the week that interest them. During this time, each

fraternity schedules different activities to allow potential members to bond with and get to know current members. At the end of recruitment, fraternities will extend bids or invitations to become a lifelong member of the group.

GREEK GLOSSARY

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSHOW DO I JOIN A FRATERNITY OR SORORITY?If you are interested in joining a fraternity or sorority, you should begin by getting to know chapter members and do your research on chapters. Start with MainStage (fall semester), or Exploration Central (spring semester) and check out the many different informational events throughout the semester. Any student interested is required to attend a Potential New Member Workshop. They will be held in the first 2-3 weeks of school. If you do not attend one of the workshops, you will not be able to receive a bid to join a fraternity or sorority.

CAN GREEK MEMBERSHIP HELP STUDENTS BE ACADEMICALLY SUCCESSFUL?Greek-letter organizations were founded on the principle of academic achievement. Scholastic success is in the student’s favor when you factor in help from fellow brothers and sisters, study sessions, test taking strategies, time management and class scheduling assistance. Each fraternity or sorority provides some form of scholastic assistance to their members; tutoring, awards, and academic scholarships are just a few of the many incentives used to challenge members to reach their highest academic potential. Ultimately, the responsibility for succeeding in the classroom is up to the individual student. However, with the broad range of resources and incentives provided by the Greek community and the university, students can better achieve their academic potential.

WILL GREEK LIFE ASSIST STUDENTS AS THEY BEGIN THEIR CAREERS?One of the tremendous assets of affiliation with a Greek-letter organization is the nationwide network of alumni members of the organization. As a student prepares for entry into the career world after graduation from their institution, alumni members can assist in job placement through their knowledge of where jobs are and who is hiring. In addition, Greek Life assists students in developing transferable skills that will be needed in the career world, such as management, leadership development and communications, to name just a few.

WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT INVOLVED IN BELONGING TO A GREEK-LETTER ORGANIZATION?While there are certain attendance requirements, a well-balanced schedule is encouraged for all members. Through involvement with the chapter, students will learn to better manage their time by balancing academics, work, social lives and other commitments. Academic commitments are the first priority and many Greek members hold student jobs as well. Greek organizations are extremely conscientious of the full schedules that most students have and offer flexibility as much as possible. Students find that being active in a fraternity or sorority is well worth the time they put into it and tremendously rewarding.

WHAT KINDS OF COSTS ARE INVOLVED IN BEING GREEK?Becoming a part of a fraternity or sorority does have a financial commitment. The chapters are self-supporting through dues paid by their members. When students join a Greek letter organization, they also agree to pay dues and fees while in school to maintain their membership. Although chapters may make accommodations for special situations, students should discuss the financial obligations with their parents or guardians before deciding to join, and think about this financial responsibility seriously.

Each chapter has different dues for membership that cover such things as chapter and national dues, dues to the Greek governing council, your membership badge, social activities, resources, and other miscellaneous costs. To learn more, you should contact each chapter directly to find out their personnel information about financial accountabilities.

HOW DO I DETERMINE WHICH FRATERNITY OR SORORITY IS BEST FOR ME?Each fraternity and sorority is founded on different beliefs and values. Each organization has its own incredible advantages. Select the fraternity or sorority that you feel most comfortable with and could see yourself being an integral part of.All fraternities and sororities share the values of scholarship, leadership, service, and brotherhood or sisterhood. As you attend various recruitment events, it is important that you ask the questions about things that are important to you: costs, activities, scholarships, philanthropy, etc. You should be sure to make this decision on your own. Even though your roommate, best friend or the group of people you attend recruitment events with has decided on a particular fraternity or sorority, you do not have to base your decision on anyone else;s. Your friends should always be your friends; the choice of fraternity or sorority is completely yours.

Alpha Sigma Phi started as an interest group at Central Michigan University in 1989 and grew to a full chapter over the next three years. The charter was signed on April 30, 1993, becoming the Delta Rho chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi. The chapter went through a short period of reorganization in 2002, but was officially re-opened that fall and has been prospering ever since. The Delta Rho chapter has grown and expanded, remaining stable in our membership, serving our community and looking to the future. We received the Alpha Gamma Upsilon Bronze Cup in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2016, as well as the Phi Pi Phi Silver Cup in 2014.

Beta Theta Pi planted its roots at Central Michigan University in 1982, and was granted its charter in 1985. Founder Randy Helman’s original vision was to have a fraternity at CMU that would be recognized as a solid asset for one’s growth, leadership, friendship and academics. Since then, Beta Theta Pi has been dedicated to building men of principle for a principled life. Our brotherhood aids the individual, builds the fraternity and strengthens Central Michigan University through lifelong devotion to intellectual excellence, high standards of moral conduct and responsible citizenship.

ALPHA SIGMA TAU (AST)The heart of Alpha Sigma Tau revolves around promoting the ethical, cultural, and social well-being of its members by providing an inclusive sisterhood and a strong support system. Along side these high ideals are Alpha Sigma Tau’s core values they strive to live by in their everyday life –graciousness, respect, intellect, connections, excellence. AST is more than getting involved on CMU’s campus. Every year Alpha Sigma Tau sends a group of members to its philanthropy, Pine Mountain Settlement School in Harlan Kentucky, where sisters learn more about AST’s roots while providing service to locals and building connections to sisters across the country. Alpha Sigma Tau is more than a college experience, but rather building friendships and fostering connections that will last a lifetime.

Nationally, Chi Phi is the oldest social fraternity in the nation, but here on campus, Chi Phi is the most recent newcomer to Greek Life after being founded in the Fall of 2017. The principle values upheld by the men of Chi Phi are Truth, Honor, and Personal Integrity. Through this they aim to build better men, create a vibrant alumni network and better the community as a whole. Chi Phi believes that the greatest strength found in the fraternity man is the union gained from brotherhood and therefore strives to support the diversity of its members and encourage them to involve themselves outside of the fraternity in order to leave an impact on the community.

PHI MU PHI DELTA THETASince installing at Central Michigan University in the Fall of 2016, the Michigan Zeta Chapter of Phi Delta Theta has been making an impact in communities across Michigan. We offer a diverse brotherhood that stimulates Friendship, Sound Learning, and Moral Rectitude. We strive to build Men that succeed in the classroom, in the work force, and their personal lives.

Helping every individual to meet his true potential is the bedrock of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity. By celebrating each person’s true self, and by learning from each other’s strengths while helping to improve each other’s weaknesses, every member of Phi Delta Theta develops into a greater version of himself than he could ever on his own. Rather than try to find young men to “mold” into some ideal, we celebrate the uniqueness of each individual and, through encouragement, values, example and brotherhood, empower every brother to exceed his personal expectations.

Parents like that we instill in every brother the concept of accountability for every action. If accountability falls through, we take action. We are a values-based organization – chances are, the same type of values taught to their son at home – that emphasizes academic achievement, community service and an enriched and highly rewarding overall college experience filled with friendships that will last a lifetime.

GREEK GUIDE 2019 | 29

Phi Sigma Sigma is a proud, strong member of the Greek community because our Founders were leaders of their time, who developed a mission to perpetuate the advancement of womanhood. We were founded to be a dynamic sisterhood of powerful women fostering uncompromising principles, igniting positive change, and embracing individuality. Racial vindictiveness emerged as a result of earlier waves of emigration, and divisions developed along religious, ethnic, and economic lines. The city of New York was seen as a cauldron for social change. In 1913, our Founders approached the Dean of Women at Hunter College in New York City with a vision. They wanted to start a sorority that would promote open membership to all women of character regardless of background; a sorority committed to sisterhood, excellence in scholarship, and selfless giving. On November 26, 1913, Phi Sigma Sigma was born. It was the first nonsectarian sorority; the only one that was open to diverse membership from inception and the only one with a ritual that was not based in any one religion.

Today, we are a dynamic, principled, passionately committed group of women who define ourselves not by our distinct differences, but by what we have in common. And that common bond is a firm belief that women of different religions, cultures, backgrounds and viewpoints working together can and do make a difference in
