How do I join?

Membership requirements and processes vary among Elmhurst's fraternities and sororities. Most chapters hold recruitment and intake events during the fall semester.

You must be in good academic standing with the college in order to join a fraternity or sorority. Each chapter will inform you of their specific GPA requirements.

Recruitment and Intake Information

Fraternities and sororities conduct recruitment and intake events, activities, and informational sessions at various times throughout the year. The recruitment process is either chapter or council coordinated depending on which organization you are interested in joining.
