Spring 08 Recruitment Schedule!
Similar to most organizations, recruitment is an essential aspect in fraternity life. It serves as a mutual selection process in which potential members learn about the chapters while the chapters are learning about the potential members. The SMU Greek community is dedicated to finding members who have outstanding leadership skills, high academic standards, and a commitment to service. Although each chapter has a different focus on these qualities, the values of leadership, service, and scholarship is at the forefront of any fraternity/sorority.
The Interfraternity Council adheres to the university policy of "deferred recruitment", which allows first-year students to participate in recruitment activities during the spring semester, rather than in the fall. Upperclassmen can participate in fall and spring recruitment if they meet the minimum eligibility requirements.
No matter which recruitment process you register for, please keep an open mind and ask questions! It is important to understand the financial, time, and service commitments you may be making. Please utilize the council representatives, Greek Life staff, and the Office of Student Activities throughout your recruitment experience.
Eligibility for Recruitment
According to the SMU Policies for Community Life, students participating in recruitment must have successfully completed a minimum of 12 hours at a college or university in the previous semester to the recruitment period. They must also have earned at least a 2.25 semester average and a cumulative average of 2.25. Exceptions are rarely granted—we highly encourage students to dedicate the first semester to academic excellence, and to carry that dedication throughout their time at SMU. Students must also not be on disciplinary probation or higher. The Interfraternity Council abides by these standards. Be aware that some chapters may have higher standards.
