There are many benefits of being in a fraternity or sorority. These benefits include, but are not limited to the following: leadership experiences (officer positions and conferences), academic support, friendships, mentorships, intramurals and team sports, community service, alumni networking, wider range of resources and connections on campus, lifelong memories, philanthropic involvement, time management, life skills development, and the potential to receive various scholarships.

Academic achievement is your primary responsibility while at ASU. In addition to minimum GPA requirements, most chapters have an academic officer and a faculty advisor whose responsibilities include assisting members in achieving their academic goals and monitoring their academic progress. If necessary, they also help connect members with academic resources such as tutoring or mentoring to help members who are not meeting expectations. Many chapters also reward members for excelling in the classroom with discounted dues and scholarships.

The new member process, sometimes referred to as pledging or associate member process, consists of a defined period of time (typically between four-eight weeks) where new members meet brothers/sisters in the fraternity/sorority, learn about the history and values of the chapter and community, participate in service and philanthropy events, and social activities . After completing the new member process, new members are initiated into the organization.

Recruitment/intake is a mutual selection process, so while you are looking for an organization that is best for you, chapters are determining who they think will be best for the organization, so unfortunately, bids are not guaranteed.

The required GPA varies for each chapter and each governing council. If you are concerned that your high school GPA, or for current ASU students your college GPA, may not be sufficient, ask during the recruitment/intake process if you meet the minimum requirements.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Fraternity and sorority members are very involved in other clubs and organizations across campus and in the community. In fact, many chapters expect members to be involved in at least one organization outside of the fraternity or sorority. Many of the leaders of Undergraduate Student Government, Residence Hall Association, Programming and Activities Board, and other major student organizations are members of fraternities and sororities.

In order to choose a chapter that is right for you, you should do some preliminary research about each organization before recruitment. Then you should participate in recruitment. The recruitment process will allow you and the chapters to decide on the best fit. As you go through the process, be sure to keep an open mind, take notes after events, and be yourself.

Yes! The objective of recruitment is for you to learn as much as you can about our Panhellenic community at ASU and each of our chapters. Going to all of your events will help you make a decision regarding membership. If you intentionally miss an event you were invited to, you are not maximizing your options and could be released from the recruitment process.

Potential New Members who choose to participate in recruitment are not obligated to join a sorority. The recruitment process gives women interested in sorority membership the opportunity to explore Greek life and see if it is the right fit.

Because recruitment is a mutual selection process, there are many different outcomes to this process. Participation in Primary Recruitment does NOT guarantee you an invitation to join a sorority, and it is possible to go through recruitment and not pledge a sorority.

Only wanting to be a member of one specific sorority, or only considering a few sororities, can severely limit a PNM's options for membership and can lead to disappointment. Please do not choose a sorority based on stereotypes or others' opinion's. We encourage you to keep an open mind about the chapters and make a decision that is best for you.
