Fraternities Today Academics At Georgia Tech, the Greek Community consistently maintains a higher GPA than non-Greek undergraduates. Fraternities provide their members with programs such as study hours, major mentoring, and tutoring.

Fraternities compete against each other in fraternity-only leagues in intramural sports but also compete against other groups, particularly in playoffs. Most of the time, the competition is fierce, but more importantly, it is always fun and a great way to relieve stress.

Costs

Friendship

New students are often worried about the monetary costs of a fraternity. This is something you should discuss with each fraternity individually. Many times it is possible that joining a fraternity can lower costs over the course of your college tenure.

Hazing Prevention Every fraternity has outlawed hazing in any form. In the State of Georgia, hazing is a criminal offense. IFC and the Georgia Tech administration are unconditionally opposed to any situation created to produce mental and/or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule.

Philanthropy

3

Athletics

The fraternal values of our community lead us to many philanthropic and service endeavors within the Georgia Tech and Atlanta community.

Fraternities provide a great outlet to continue or build a passion for serving others and making a difference in the world.

College represents an opportunity to make friends that you will have for the rest of your life. Whether or not you join, the Georgia Tech IFC community offers you an awesome opportunity to make new friends, both freshmen and upperclassmen, through the experience of Rush Week.

Leadership Fraternities offer both internal leadership opportunities because they themselves need strong leaders, but also external leadership opportunities. Greek men & women represent the vast majority of campus leadership positions. As such,Greek Life can sometimes be a springboard for other involvement opportunities on campus.

Social Responsibility During the week of Rush, all fraternity houses and events are required to be free from any alcohol and IFC patrols each chapter to ensure compliance with this rule. If you do join, you can look forward to a rewarding social life integrated with the culture and traditions of the Institute. IFC fraternity parties are regulated by clear and reasonable policies that keep our community safe.

Before You Start School Recruitment Events If you are in or near the Atlanta area this summer, you may be invited to formal recruitment events by fraternities. This is a great way to get a head start on Rush Week and start getting to know some fraternity men. We encourage all potential new members to meet multiple fraternities before making a final decision. Please note that it is strictly against IFC bylaws for these events to have alcohol or illegal substances in any way.

IFC @ FASET You can meet IFC and learn more about us, and all of Georgia Tech Greek Life, at FASET Orientation. Come to our "Fraternity & Sorority Life" breakout session to learn more background information and helpful statistics. You will hear about GT Greek Life right from the source! Also, please visit our tables at the involvement fair and during class registration. This will give you the chance to meet us on a more individual basis and ask us more specific questions.

Required Registration

7

You are required to register for Rush Week online at fraternity.gatech.edu. It is completely free and it can only help you by giving fraternities a way to learn more about you and potentially contact you. There is no obligation to participate after you have registered, but is a great way to get information and updates about the process.

FAQs How does the bid process work?

A bid is an official invitation to join a fraternity as an associate member. A fraternity can give a bid at any time of the year according to their policy. Chapters will generally give a bid if they feel you could be a good fit for their organization. You may receive bids from many fraternities and then decide where you fit best. Do not feel pressured into accepting the first bid you receive! You don't have to accept a bid if you don't feel a particular fraternity is right for you, and you do not need to accept a bid right away (even if you plan on accepting later).

Do I have to become a brother if I accept a bid?

No! The new member process is a time for you to get to know a fraternity and for them to get to know you more. Both have options of ending the new member period at any time if the fit is no longer working out.

New member periods vary in length, but are generally two to three months long. During that time, you will learn the history of the fraternity, bond with the brothers and other new members, and participate in service projects, intramurals, socials, date nights, mixers, and other aspects of fraternity life.

Will I get hazed?

9

No! If a fraternity new member process involves hazing, chapters face serious consequences for hazing new members or brothers. IFC and Georgia Tech Administration have developed strict guidelines to make sure new member process is as safe as possible.

What if I don't have time?

While you are expected to become involved and participate in events with the fraternity, they realize that you are also adjusting to college life. If anything, a fraternity will help teach you valuable time management and study skills to adjust to life at Tech.

Fraternity members can offer you help with your classes and will make sure you are studying to get the grades equivalent to your abilities. After investing time and effort into you as a new member, the fraternity is committed to helping you succeed.

What if I can't afford it?

It is important for you to make sure you can fulfill the financial obligations of new member process and being a member, However, being in a fraternity is usually cheaper than living on campus after your first year. (Information regarding finances can be found on page 4). Chapter Presidents and treasurers are also generally willing to work out payment options for members.

Talk to the fraternities you are interested in about how their dues work and how it can work into your budget.

What should I wear to rush?

Rush is very informal, so wear whatever you feel comfortable with. Most chapters will be dressed in business casual—a collared shirt and khakis—but you aren't expected to wear anything in particular.

From the founders to the present day, Phi Kappa Sigma has been an organization built upon developing Men of Honor and fostering lifelong bonds. As the first fraternity to establish a non-discriminatory clause in 1860, we have accepted brothers of all backgrounds for over 150 years. The brotherly bonds formed inside this chapter come from a variety of shared experiences and struggles that unite the varied body behind our chapter. Brothers from abusive to supportive, rich to poor and big to small families have found common ground in our core values. There always has been and always will be a demand for the quality of person that comes from Phi Kappa Sigma which is why this chapter has never closed its doors since its founding in 1904.

Our Fraternity represents a group of diverse people who always strive for the highest level of excellence, as our founders intended. Shared goals and interests in areas of service, academics and building solid relationships hold our chapter together and define who are we. It is truly exciting to be in a place where everyone gets together no matter how long we are with one another. I think part of this stems from the fact that we all feel so comfortable around one another. This is a place where anyone, and everyone who comes through our house or interacts with a brother always feels welcome and never feels like they do not belong, and I think this is one of our most unique characteristics. All of the brothers are unapologetically themselves and we strive to let everyone who interacts with us be themselves and not have any fear about fitting in. Overall, we all try to uphold our motto of being Men of Distinction and are always trying to be the best versions of ourselves.

Transcendent. Loyal. Fun. Prominent. Compassionate. Involved. Respected. All of these words have different definitions, but at Georgia Tech they mean the same thing: Pi Kappa Phi. On December 10, 1904, three students united in Charleston, South Carolina to form a club that would propel them to the leadership of their university. This organization became Pi Kappa Phi and the trend continues today. By 1913, the Iota chapter of Pi Kappa Phi was founded on Georgia Tech's campus. Whether it is in intramural athletics, academics, or philanthropy, our diverse membership make us a leader in every category.

We are the only Greek organization in the country to operate our own philanthropy, Ability Experience. Furthermore, we offer the services of an academic adviser. When you become an associate member of Pi Kappa Phi, you embark upon a journey of mutual respect; our house is your house and you are treated like a brother. When you finally graduate from GT you will join an elite group of alumni.
