Depending on the chapter and its Governing Council, there are a variety of ways to join a fraternity or sorority at GW...

The Interfraternity Council uses a structured recruitment process that encourages interested men to learn about all 15 chapters before receiving a bid. A full schedule of IFC and Chapter events will be posted at the start of each semester. IFC Fall Rush will be September 15 to 25, 2008.

The member chapters of the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) began their "Intake" process with informational sessions during the fall semester. Each chapter's process is independent of the others. In most cases, chapters will not accept new members during their first semester at GW. Look for information on MGC Information Nights during MGC Week in the fall. The MGC includes NPHC chapters.

The nine chapters of the Panhellenic Association work closely together on a formal recruitment process early in the fall semester. This is a highly structured, mutual selection, process that occurs over four days in the fall. Interested women must register with Panhellenic prior to the start of formal recruitment. In 2008, Panhellenic Formal Recruitment will take place on September 19-22.
