Fraternity Recruitment
Introduction
Fall Recruitment will take place September 14-20, 2009, starting with a Fraternity Recruitment Fair on September 14 at 7:00pm in the Havasupai Room, University Union. Interested participants will have the opportunity to meet with all 14 fraternities to get a sense of their values, philanthropic endeavors, and social activities. September 15-20 each organization will have their own individualized recruitment calendar.
Who is eligible to participate in Fraternity Recruitment?
All incoming freshmen and current Northern Arizona University students are welcome to participate in fraternity recruitment. Each organization has their own GPA requirement for membership, which they will share with you at the beginning of Recruitment week.

What should a participant expect?
Participants will have the opportunity to learn about each organization and spend time with as many chapters as they would like throughout the week. Events are scheduled so student participants and current active fraternity men can get to know one another and make a mutual membership selection. Invitations for membership will be delivered throughout the week; however, we encourage all interested participants to take the week to visit with a variety of chapters to ensure an educated choice. Alcohol is strictly prohibited at all recruitment events/activities.
Financial obligations
Fraternity dues average about $325.00/semester, which pays for activities, insurance, and national organization dues. Some organizations have one time fees for new members in their first semester of involvement, which pay for initiation costs, membership manuals, and a membership badge. Our fraternities and sororities do offer payment plans to assist students in meeting these financial obligations. Questions regarding specific fees (and how this money is spent) for each organization should be directed to the individual fraternity. It is important to note that members do not have to pay dues after graduating from college, but will continue to reap the benefits of lifelong membership (involvement with alumni chapters, publications from national organization, and networking with fellow brothers from across the world).
