Recruitment

Signing Day 2010

Signing Day is a chapter-wide event that signifies the FIRST day that a recruit can sign with the chapter of their choice. At such an event, a chapter may extend a bid (bid card) to that individual. Upon receiving a bid card (multiple bids may be received from different chapters), the recruit may sign with ONE fraternity. This year, Signing Day will be taking place on June 26th, 2010.

 
Greek Discovery Day 2010 Registration

Greek Discovery Day is a wonderful opportunity to visit Oklahoma State University and see what fraternity and sorority life is all about! High school juniors and seniors and their parents can meet members of the OSU Greek community and learn more about the recruitment process, the benefits of Greek membership and all that’s great about “going Greek.” Current non-Greek OSU students also are welcome.

Becoming A Fraternity Member

To become a member of a Greek Letter House, you must go through the process of recruitment. Recruitment, simply stated, is the membership selection process. Across the nation, universities execute this process at the beginning of their fall or spring semester. Here at OSU our recruitment process is an informal one, meaning that bulk of our recruitment occurs during the summer. Oklahoma State's Interfraternity Council (IFC) has implemented a registration process for potential new members of OSU fraternities.


Before a young man can commit to affiliating with a fraternity, also known as "signing", he must complete the IFC Registration. Seven days after the application and fee are received by The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs, the recruit may sign with the fraternity of his choice that has extended him a bid.


While fraternity recruitment is a year round activity, summer recruitment unofficially starts with Greek Discovery Day. Greek Discovery Day will be in the early Spring.


Throughout the summer, individual fraternities will contact potential new members. Each chapter has different features, advantages and benefits. It is important to note, the "best" chapter for you may not be the best fit for a friend or classmate. IFC encourages you to play a proactive role in your recruitment process by attending Greek Discovery Day.


Signing Day is the first day fraternities are allowed to sign prospective new members. Keep in mind that this is the first day, and you will have the opportunity to sign with a chapter all summer. Signing Day will be on June 26th. Each fraternity holds their own signing party which all vary by times and venues.


For those of you unable to attend Greek Discovery Day, you can get involved by contacting the IFC Recruitment Chairman. He can answer any other questions you may have about the recruitment process and inform you of any other IFC sponsored events that would be beneficial to your recruitment process.


Please remember that Interfraternity recruitment at Oklahoma State University it a substance-free process. Any group who violates this concept is suspect and recruits should very closely evaluate that group's values and standards.

 
Questions You Should Ask

Below are sample questions you should ask the representatives of the Greek organizations that approach you about becoming affiliated with them.

Why should I join? What aspects of the chapter encouraged you to join?

What are the financial obligations of a new member? Are there additional costs that member are required to pay other than the fees listed?

Does your chapter offer need-based scholarships or other payment plans?

How long is the new member program and how much time do I need to devote to it?

What is the percentage of new members that get initiated into your fraternity or sorority?

What other campus organizations have you had an opportunity to participate in as a result of your Greek experience?

How does your chapter promote scholarship?

In what ways is your chapter involved with philanthropies and community service?

What types of activities are planned with other Greek organizations?

Is it possible to maintain a part-time job and still have time to fulfill your commitment to a fraternity or sorority?

What is the availability of housing and what are the rules pertaining to living in the sorority/fraternity house?

How will Greek life benefit me in the future?
