Membership Recruitment

  1. Michigan Tech recognizes that it is the right of the undergraduates in each chapter to select their own members within the context of allowing no discrimination or disqualification because of race, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, handicap, religion, sexual orientation, veteran status, or age. 
    1. Michigan Tech recognizes the value of continuous recruitment, and encourages chapters to actively recruit throughout the academic year within the guidelines provided by their specific governing council(s).
    2. To not detract from the known educational benefits provided during the designated Orientation Week, chapters will refrain from hosting events for the purposes of recruitment during this week. Efforts to engage orientation students in fraternity and sorority life will be channeled through the Greek governing councils.
  2. Michigan Tech supports the use of the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils as means to recruit, and will provide assistance to the councils in recruiting new members.
  3. Chapters are expected to only allow students to join (“pledge” or “pin”) who meet the minimum requirements of both their organization and of Michigan Tech (refer to “Academics and Scholarship” for academic standard) .
  4. All fraternity/sorority recruitment activities shall be "dry" (there shall be no alcoholic beverages permitted during any recruitment activities).
  5. All recruitment events and themes shall be in good taste and shall be reflective of organizational and fraternal values.
  6. Chapters shall not host recruitment events in cooperation with unrecognized fraternities and sororities.
