Greek Recruitment

Joining a Greek organization is one of the best decisions a student can make while attending Illinois State. If you're interested in joining a Greek organization, follow these steps:

1. Determine Your Eligibility

Students interested in participating in Greek recruitment must meet eligibility requirements. All interested students must be registered for a minimum of 12 credit hours at Illinois State and be in good standing with the University. In addition, Greek organizations also have grade point average requirements (most organizations' GPA requirement is between a 2.5 and 3.0.)

2. Ask Questions of Members

Here are a few questions for you to ask current members of Greek organizations to help you determine which chapter is best for you:

  • Why did you join a Greek organization?
  • How did you choose this chapter?
  • In which philanthropic and community service projects does your chapter participate?
  • What are the financial obligations of membership?
  • How will Greek life benefit me now and in the future?
  • What is the time commitment involved?
  • How has your life changed as a member of a Greek organization?
