How does my son or daughter join a fraternity or sorority at Carnegie Mellon?
Your son or daughter will receive information about recruitment through campus announcements and fliers, helpful information sessions and personal invitations from members. Each September, the Panhellenic sororities host Formal Membership Recruitment, a fun and informative system to guide women to the best sorority fit for them, and continue to accept additional new members through Continuous Open Bidding through the academic year. Interfraternity Council fraternities and the Asian American chapters host their recruitment during two week periods at the beginning of each semester. Pan-Hellenic (traditionally African American) chapters observe their own individual processes for welcoming new members during the academic year.
