Welcome
2014 Greek Council Presidents:
From Left to Right: Jonathan Radivoj (IFC President), Tkeyah Anderson (NPHC President), Erin Kelly (CPC President), Robert Barrentine (MGC President)
Congratulations on your decision to come to Georgia Tech. You’ve already made one of the most important decisions of your life, and you’ve chosen one of the best institutions in the country. As leaders of the Greek community, we’re excited about the potential in this year’s incoming freshman class. During your time in college, you will have many exciting learning experiences, but none so complete, well-rounded, and long-remembered as that of being a member of a Greek organization. Even though you may have no intention of joining a Greek organization, it is worth your time and effort to go through the recruitment process in order to meet new people and learn more about the different facets of the Georgia Tech community as a whole. As a potential member, we ask that you keep an open mind and base your decision on your personal opinions and not those of friends, relatives, other potential members, or stereotypes you may have

heard or formed. Joining a fraternity or sorority is a lifelong decision that will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. There is a chapter for everyone, but what is right for your friends or family members may not be the right choice for you. Additionally, fraternities and sororities today are vastly different from stereotypes you may have seen or heard of in the past. Even from campus to campus, individual chapters carry a personality all their own, and it is up to you to choose the organization that best represents your ideals and values. New members of Greek organizations enter a community of leaders, academic achievers, philanthropists, and a social circle of friends that is unmatched by any other experience. No matter what group you choose, the friendships you form will be lifelong. We encourage you to visit our website for more information about summer events and contact information. If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact us. CPC President Erin Kelly

Advice From the Top You have already taken the first step to joining a Greek organization by looking through this book. If you aren’t sure Greek Life is for you, or if you don't even know what it is, keep this in mind:
There is a Greek organization for you!
Not everyone thinks of "going Greek" when they come to Tech. It is only once they experience recruitment that they realize Greek Life is for them. You must always keep in mind there are over 50 chapters to choose from, each one unique. There is one chapter out there that will make you feel like you have a home away from home. Find the fit for you, and you will begin the most well-rounded and memorable college experience possible. Greeks are proven to have a happier experience at Tech, and none have regrets of "going Greek."

Who we are...
The Greek Community Academics
The Greek community at Georgia Tech realizes that excelling in academics is the top priority of every student. Each Greek organization has its own unique way of encouraging and rewarding superior academic performance. Chapters, as well as the four Greek governing boards, sponsor various educational programs and awards. Programs may include time management and study skills seminars, scheduled study hours with free tutoring, organized study groups, or advice on courses and professors. Order of Omega, a Greek honor society, also inspires Greeks to reach their highest potential by rewarding academic excellence. We take academics seriously, and it shows through our accomplishments as a community. Retention and graduation rates are higher for Greeks. As members of the Greek community, we stand firm in our dedication to good scholarship and believe that educational success at Georgia Tech prepares men and women for personal and professional success.
8
Leadership
The Greek community develops members through the Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) program established by Georgia Tech. Through the three steps of this program, skills are gained through a variety of servant and leadership experiences. In addition to involvement within their chapters, Greek students learn leadership qualities through on-campus and co-op jobs or internships, varsity athletics, and other student organizations. Being involved in a Greek organization also allows networking to increase involvement, and as a result, many leadership positions on Georgia Tech’s campus are held by members of the Greek community.

* As of April 2014 statistics
Social
In addition to academic and leadership opportunities, Greek organizations provide a balance to the academic rigors of Georgia Tech with a full social schedule. Social events include semi-formals, formals, date nights, parents’ weekends, alumni gatherings, and step shows. Entire fraternities and sororities come together at mixers for a night of socializing, fun, and meeting new people. Mixers are usually themed and increase the sense of community within the Greek system. Each of these events is organized and planned with enjoyment as well as safety in mind; each organization follows a responsible social policy laid out by Georgia Tech, our student governing boards, and national risk management policies.
Athletics
Athletics are an integral part of Greek life at Tech as nearly every chapter participates in Georgia Tech’s intramural sports program. Over 21 different sports are offered throughout the year including flag football, ultimate frisbee, racquetball, dodgeball, billiards, wallyball, and water polo. Fraternities and sororities compete in their own league for the Greek championship, then advance to play other non-Greek teams in the school championship rounds. Last year, nearly half of the school championship teams were Greek. In addition to intramural sports, Greek chapters receive block-seating at all home football games. This guarantees you a seat in the same section of the stadium with others from your chapter, so you never have to worry about standing in line hours before games to get a seat!

Who we are...
The Greek Community Alumni
Philanthropy
Greek organizations have been on Georgia Tech’s campus for 125 years. Since the first fraternity was chartered in 1888, thousands of young men and women have been initiated into Georgia Tech’s numerous fraternities and sororities.
Every national fraternity or sorority has a designated charity or philanthropy that they regularly sponsor. Each local Georgia Tech chapter participates in projects which support their national organization’s cause: everything from Toys for Tots to Multiple Sclerosis. Greeks come together for large scale philanthropy projects throughout the year. Greeks assist with multiple projects during Homecoming and Greek Week that range from painting schools and planting flowers to volunteering at homeless shelters and repairing local parks. In addition, Greeks at Georgia Tech hosted a Habitat for Humanity Build for a family in need in the Atlanta Community. In the spring, Greeks participate in Dance Marathon and the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. At Georgia Tech, Greeks feel it is important to contribute their time and efforts to their community, as everyone is able to learn and grow through serving others.
Fraternity and sorority alumni stay active with their respective local and national chapters, as well as the Institute, long after they have completed their degrees at Tech. Although alumni support Georgia Tech and their chapters financially, they also act as mentors and serve as great examples for undergraduate members. Greek alumni demonstrate how fraternity or sorority association can equip its members with the skills to excel personally and professionally.
10
When you graduate, alumni networks generate valuable resources that can assist you in finding a great job and much more. Alumni networks reach far beyond individual chapters and across various geographies. Imagine how it will feel to be able to go anywhere in the United States (and even beyond) and have automatic connections through a fraternity or sorority!

Parents:
How You Can Help Georgia Tech is home to 56 fraternities and sororities. Naturally, this can seem a little overwhelming to students when they consider the options as they decide which chapter is right for them. A fraternity/sorority offers a wonderful support system that can help your student with everything from adjusting to the academic rigors of Georgia Tech to finding a “home away from home.”
Upperclassmen in fraternities and sororities have been through many, if not all, of the situations that your student will experience as a student at Georgia Tech; an eager careerseeker, and more generally, a young adult living in the city of Atlanta. Fraternity and sorority members can provide invaluable advice to help your student make good choices that will ensure their future success. However, the active members of a chapter are not the only source of guidance. Most chapters have vast alumni networks that can open many doors to future opportunities. Many famous Tech graduates are alumni of fraternities and sororities at Georgia Tech.
12
If your student is considering “going Greek,” remember that what you may have seen on television or in movies is very about misleading what being “Greek” really means. In addition, your time in college will be drastically different than what your student
may experience. If you still have reservations with allowing your student to join a fraternity or sorority, contact the Office of Greek Affairs or the Parents Program Office. Families also find great information by reaching out to chapter advisors and other parents of a student in the fraternities/sororities who can tell you about their experiences. The Parents Program Office can connect you with parents of current students who are involved in the Greek Community.
Be a Support System
As a parent or family member, there is a lot you can do for your student during their Georgia Tech fraternity or sorority experience. Deciding which organization to join can certainly produce excitement and a bit of anxiety. You can be there to counsel them through their decision to join. • Check in with your student during the recruitment process. • Talk with your student about all of their options to join, even if those options do not include their friends’ choices. • Help your student understand that the decision to join is theirs to make.
• Discuss reasons for joining the group: opportunity to engage in service/ philanthropy, social support, impact on
www.parents.gatech.edu
academics, etc. • Consider the financial obligations of joining a fraternity/sorority. • If you are an alumnus/a member of a fraternity/sorority, be supportive and understanding if your student chooses an organization other than your own.
Get Involved
If your student decides to join, you are encouraged to be involved in the chapter experience. Many parents and families choose to get involved in a variety of ways:
• Ask your student about their new brothers or sisters. • Be supportive of your student’s choice to join a fraternity/sorority. • Learn about the fraternity/sorority by visiting the chapter’s website and the official website of the fraternity/sorority headquarters. • Review the fraternity/sorority mission, values, and tenants of membership. • Encourage your student to take a leadership role in their chapter. • Know the grade requirements for new and active members. • Attend Family Weekend events for the fraternity/sorority and the Institute. • Join or start a Parents Club. • Encourage your student to take advantage of chapter services, leadership
opportunities, and scholarships. • Encourage your student to attend educational programs in the chapter and on campus. • Know the contact information for the chapter, your student’s big brother/big sister, fraternity/sorority Headquarters, and the Office of Greek Affairs.
Greek Affairs
At no time should your student’s membership in a fraternity or sorority detract from their academic performance, job or co-op duties, nor their ability to be a successful student at Tech. Unfortunately, there are activities that can be divisive to the growth and development of your student. Alcohol misuse and hazing are issues that plague fraternities and sororities across the United States and Canada. At Georgia Tech, we work diligently to address these issues in the community. However, our institution appreciates your support in reporting these issues. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Office of Greek Affairs, the Parents Program Office or the specific fraternity/sorority headquarters.

IFC Spotlight Jacob Blaeser
Major: Industrial Engineering Hometown: Marietta, GA Year in School: 5th Year
Q. How has your Greek affiliation had a positive impact on your Georgia Tech experience?
As a freshman, it provided me immediate access to a large group of people that had already been through the challenges, choices, and experiences I was going through. I had older members in my fraternity that were engaged and invested in me that genuinely cared about my development. I have been introduced to a dedicated alumni base that takes the time to develop and mentor me. Perhaps most importantly, I have had the privilege of living with a group of friends that has challenged my beliefs, passions, and perspectives. After four years, I am now more open-minded, a deeper thinker, and a better listener. Q. How has your Greek affiliation helped you to become more involved in other activities at Georgia Tech?
As a part of a Greek organization, I feel I am constantly updated with happenings across campus. Georgia Tech has a tremendous amount to offer; so much in fact that it sometimes is easy to miss out! Older brothers in my fraternity have introduced me to organizations they are passionate about and encouraged me to get involved from the start! I would not have heard of Freshman Leadership Organizations (FLOs) had it not been for older brothers in my fraternity, and these jumpstarted my future involvement!
Q:What advice would you give to incoming Freshmen? Try new things! Meet new people! Show up! Explore! There is so much opportunity here. Get out of your room, go around, and attend things. When you’re in your room, leave your door open more than you keep it close. Find several older people on campus you really respect and ask them to have lunch with you, these connections will serve you well and you’ll be surprised at how willing people are to meet with you. Do the same with faculty and staff. Adventure into Atlanta, outside of the Tech “bubble” there is a world-class city! Get involved at Tech. Your appreciation, admiration, respect, and passion for this school will grow tremendously if you are more involved. Don’t be discouraged by people who seem to have their life figured out. An amazing aspect about Tech is that it feels like almost everyone you meet is on their way to changing the world. Use this as inspiration and motivation, not discouragement. Finally, choose to see value in others. Choose to be optimistic when things get difficult. Choose to be respectful, thoughtful, and understanding. Common sense is not always commonplace, but will make you stand out. Live inspired!

NPHC Spotlight Jamal Johnson
Major: Business Hometown: Harlem, NY Year in School: 4th Year
Q: What advice would you give to incoming Freshmen?
Q: How has your Greek affiliation had a positive impact on your Georgia Tech experience? My Greek affiliation has greatly benefited my experience here at Georgia Tech and has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Being a part of he Georgia Tech community has given me unique leadership and service opportunities as well as a strong since of community that is unparalled. When I was a freshman coming into campus I looked up to the members of the Greek community because of the amazing impact they had around campus. They were the leaders that were making a difference and I’m happy that I’ve gotten to provide that same impact through the Greek community. I’ve also had a chance to make some lasting friendships through my fraternity. I can honestly say that these are some of the most outstanding people on campus and they inspire me to be all that I can be. The new experiences, new friendships, and lasting impact I’ve had at Tech has only changed me for the better and I don’t think that could have been possible without my involvement with the Greek community.
16
My best piece of advice for freshman would be to try to get involved as much as possible. Of course, academics should be your first priority but being involved in the larger Georgia Tech community has made my college experience worthwhile. Georgia Tech has so many diverse people and activities that you can get involved in. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t explore all it has to offer. It is important to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. You would be surprised how many interesting things you can do by simply introducing yourself and trying something new. Q: How have you been able to balance your workload with your Greek involvement?
At the end of the day we all came here to get an education from one of the top schools in the country, so naturally scholarship is my first priority. However, one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is time management. While it is difficult to juggle all the responsibilities that come with being a student as well as a Greek leader I believe it has only made me a better person. My fraternity brothers are also a huge help to me when it comes to balance. They help me get through some of the hardest times by doing everything from studying with me, giving me advice, or even just giving me a good laugh when I need it. The balance I’ve achieved has just been a matter of trying enough times to succeed.
MGC Spotlight Janice Ma
Major: Biology Hometown: Alpharetta, GA Year in School: 4th Year
Q. How has your Greek affiliation affected your life here at Georgia Tech?
Being Greek played a huge role in my overall Tech experience and will continue to play a huge role in the rest of my life. I’m so glad I decided to go through recruitment in my freshman year because I’ve formed unbelievable bonds with truly fantastic people. I can honestly say that I’ve met many of my closest, life-long friends through my Greek affiliation. Not only was I able to branch out socially, but I also had the opportunity to become a leader and get involved with community service. Being part of the Greek community at Tech opened doors to new experiences and has helped me grow into the person I am today. Q. What inspired you to join a Multicultural Fraternity?
I’ve always had an interest in culture and promoting cultural awareness and was involved with a multicultural society in high school. So, joining a multicultural sorority seemed like a natural next step. Being a part of MGC helped me stay in touch with my heritage, while also promoting cultural awareness and acceptance on campus. It’s a unique dynamic with all the organizations in MGC since we all have the common goal of fostering a community of cultural celebration. It’s amazing to be a part of a large group of people united in this collective purpose.
Q. How were you able to balance schoolwork with your involvement in the Greek community? There’s definitely a delicate balance between academics and social life, and it took trial-anderror to find the right mix for me. It was hard to figure out how to allot my personal time, but my sisters helped me along the way. Getting involved with Greek life is more than just broadening your social group; it’s also gaining a whole other support system. My sisters helped me get through some of my most academically rigorous semesters at Tech and I’m grateful to have a strong support system. Q. What advice would you give to incoming freshmen?
The best advice for any first-year student is to get out of your comfort zone and give any interesting clubs or organizations a try. I spent my first semester doing things with a group of people who were familiar and I never considered joining a Greek organization because I thought, “it wasn’t me.” Looking back now, my most memorable experiences actually came after I followed through with recruitment and joined my sorority.

CPC Spotlight
Q. How has your Greek affiliation affected your life here at Tech? Being a member of the Greek community has been one of the most rewarding experiences in college. Despite your chapter affiliation, the entire community is a reliable source of encouragement and positive energy. I have personally received so much love and support from women in every chapter on campus which has been so inspirational. In fact, my senior design team that just won People’s Choice and First Place in the 2014 InVenture Prize Competition is a team compromised of women from three different CPC chapters on campus. I think we can attribute much of our success to the continual love and support of the Greek community. Q. How do you think Greek life reflects your values? My winning senior design project addresses the issue of global sanitation. My passion for improved global sanitation is rooted in my
18
Jasmine Burton
Major: Industrial Design Hometown: Peachtree City, GA Year in School: 4th Year
heart for women’s empowerment. My senior design project enables women to stay in school and pursue careers in the developing world where the lack of sanitation facilities currently bars women from pursuing their dreams. This is a cause that I have committed my life to and it closely parallels with much of the work that the CPC community promotes on Georgia Tech’s campus. As a school that still is majority male, the CPC and Greek community as a whole really strives to empower women on campus to feel safe, confident, and intelligent. I think that the efforts made by the Greek community to empower women is something that is truly admirable. Q. What advice would you give to incoming freshmen?
Invest in people during your time here at Tech. The individuals that make up the Georgia Tech community are what make this place so special. Everyone – from faculty, to alumni, to staff members, to current students – has a story from which we can all learn and grow. This inspiring and uplifting community, especially rooted in the Greek community, has kept me motivated and passionate throughout my academically rigorous years here at Tech. The people are why I have loved my time here so much.

Panhellenic Council About Us

Collegiate Panhellenic Council
The Panhellenic Creed
Every woman who joins a Panhellenic sorority also becomes a member of the Collegiate Panhellenic Council (CPC). CPC is the governing body for the nine sororities on Georgia Tech’s campus and unites all of its members regardless of affiliation. CPC and our members work to make the Greek community a positive influence on campus and in the community. Each member sorority has a delegate on the CPC governing board, which is led by seven Executive Board members. CPC is responsible for promoting scholarship, philanthropy, personal growth, safety, and campus involvement among all sorority members. CPC women strive to live by the Panhellenic Creed and embody high ideals in all that they do.
We, as Undergraduate Members of women’s fraternities, stand for good scholarship, for guarding of good health, for maintenance of fine standards, and for serving, to the best of our ability, our college community. Cooperation for furthering fraternity life, in harmony with its best possibilities, is the ideal that shall guide our fraternity activities. We, as Fraternity Women, stand for service through the development of character inspired by the close contact and deep friendship of individual fraternity and Panhellenic life. The opportunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which we strive to live. -From the National Panhellenic Conference

Formal Recruitment
Formal Recruitment is the process by which the seven National Panhellenic Conference sororities recruit new members. Every fall, CPC organizes Formal Recruitment by overseeing the invitation and bid matching process, establishing recruitment standards, and selecting Pi Chi’s - your Panhellenic recruitment counselors. In the next few pages we will explain the recruitment process to you and what a fun experience it will be! CPC Formal Recruitment requires interested women to register on the CPC website. All seven National Panhellenic Conference sororities will receive each potential new member’s application. A non-refundable application fee is charged to all registrants. The registration fee is $75 until August 1st. After that, the registration fee will increase to $85. Registration will remain open until 4:00PM on Thursday, August 14th.
Why should I join a CPC sorority? There are so many benefits that come with joining a CPC chapter. CPC women build friendships while in college that last a lifetime. In addition to gaining an incredible support system, being a member of a CPC chapter enriches your college experience through countless opportunities to serve others and to become a more well-rounded woman.
Our CPC chapters participate in philanthropy events and fundraising projects throughout the year to better our community and our world. CPC supports its own philanthropy, Circle of Sisterhood, which raises money for global education and support for women. All women in the CPC community are dedicated ot helping others and making a positive impact on our Georgia Tech community.

Formal Recruitment Basics
Chapter Finances
Though financial commitment is necessary, joining a sorority comes with many benefits. Sorority housing generally costs less than on or off campus housing, and several of the initial fees are just one time fees. There are many opportunities within each chapter as well as through Collegiate Panhellenic Council to find ways to help with the costs of being in a sorority. Collegiate Panhellenic Chapters give out approximately $5,000 in scholarships each year. Please be sure to ask each chapter on Day 2 of recruitment about fees as well as check out their websites.

Formal Recruitment v
About Rounds
24
Day One
Day Two
Meet and Greet
Philanthropy Day
What to expect... During this day you will visit each of the seven chapters for 35 minutes. Conversations will be short and light-hearted. Make sure you tell the sisters about yourself, and feel free to ask questions about the sorority and Greek life in general. Maintain a positive outlook throughout all the parties, and do not set your mind on one chapter before Recruitment or during Round One. Keeping an open mind is the best way to ensure that you go to the house where you are happiest! What to wear... Day one dress is casual and comfortable. We will provide everyone with a recruitment t-shirt to wear on this day. The shirts will be handed out at the kick-off ceremony on Thursday, August 14th. Shorts should be worn with the t-shirt. All of the chapter members will be wearing their jerseys, which are t-shirts with their Greek letters on them. You will be walking to many houses, so comfortable shoes such as sandals are a must. Questions to ask yourself ... Would I like to get to know these women better? Did I feel welcome when I walked through the door? Were the members pleasant and friendly?
What to expect... During this day you will visit up to six chapters. The second day of events is philanthropy day, and each party lasts 45 minutes. You will participate in a project with the sisters of each chapter that will be donated to their national philanthropy. The atmosphere will be very relaxed; ask questions you might have about the philanthropy within the sorority as well as on campus. Since the parties are longer, they allow you and the sisters to get to know each other better. You may get a tour of the house on this day and financial information will be presented. What to wear... Skirts, nice shorts, or summer sundresses are recommended. You will be sitting in chairs doing projects, so be sure to wear clothes that are comfortable and easy to move in. Comfortable sandals are appropriate footwear for Day Two as well. Questions to ask yourself... Do I feel comfortable with these women? Are they genuine? What can I gain from membership in this group and what can I contribute? Can I afford the financial commitment to this sorority?
www.panhellenic.gatech.edu
Formal Recruitment About Rounds
Day Three
Day Four
Skit Day
Preferential Night
What to expect... During this day you will visit up to four chapters. The events are longer and more personal. You will see a skit, which is meant to tell you more about the chapter, and you may talk with people you have previously met. The atmosphere is much more personal; ask any questions you might still have about the sorority and its members. Trust your feelings and begin thinking about which chapter you feel you would fit in best. Consider where you feel most comfortable, and do not rely on the opinions of others.
What to wear... Outfits on Day Three are a little nicer than before. Skirts, dresses, or pant outfits that you might wear to a banquet or religious service are recommended. Sandals and flats or comfrotable wedges are appropriate footwear. You will be doing some walking this day, so be sure to be comfortable. Questions to ask yourself... Am I still comfortable with the sisters I have met? Can I call these women my sisters? Do they stress the values that are important to me?
What to expect... This round is called Preferential (Pref) because you will be attending up to two chapters and making the final decision about which sorority you would prefer. Each sorority has a different ritual or ceremony they will present, and the sisters will be telling you what their sorority means to them. This round can get very emotional. Keep an open mind, reflect back over the last few days, and ask any questions you may have. It may be difficult to choose between chapters, but remember to reflect on your values and the values of each chapter. Consider all of your options and go where YOU will be most happy. What to wear... A nice dress that you would wear to a wedding or a similar special event would be appropriate. Semi-formal or formal (prom type) dresses are too dressy. Try to avoid anything low cut or revealing. You will only be visiting 1-2 houses, so you may wear comfortable heels if you want. Questions to ask yourself... What do I want in a sorority and are these qualities and values present in this chapter? Do I want these women to be my sisters?

Frequently Asked Questions If I go through Recruitment, am I obligated to join?
No, many women choose to go through Recruitment to meet people and make new friends. Recruitment is an opportunity for you to visit the sororities, get a glimpse of Greek life, and assess whether or not you would like to join the Greek community. You may choose to stop the process at any point.
What should I talk about during Recruitment events?
It is important to be yourself during Recruitment and let the conversation flow naturally. The sororities are presenting themselves to you just as you are presenting yourself to them. Ask questions so you can make comparisons and decisions. During Round One you will mostly talk about yourself—where you went to high school, what you were involved in, how your summer went and your intended major. The most important thing to remember is to just be yourself. During Round Two, Philanthropy Day, the sisters will be telling you about each chapter’s involvement in service as well as other specific activities in which each house partakes. Remember to keep asking questions during this round since you will have to be narrowing down your choices in the next round.
During Round Three and Four, conversations will become more serious. Sororities want to make sure that you know all about them, and you will want to know as much as you can too. It is in these rounds that you want to make sure sorority women get to know you more. Remember to keep in mind what values are important to you as you are making your selections.
26
What should I expect my Recruitment days to be like?
Recruitment can be tiring both physically and emotionally. However, you decide how positive a recruitment experience you will have. Remember, a good attitude and an open mind are vital. Although small talk may become repetitive, every chapter is a new chapter and you should approach each with a fresh outlook. Focus on sororities that are inviting you back rather than on any disappointments.
What if I’m shy?
Just be yourself! Every sorority wants members with a variety of personalities. Every member of a sorority contributes her individual talents to the chapter. Just keep in mind that it is up to you to present yourself to each sorority. Smile and feel free to talk. There is no reason to feel insecure; sororities want to impress you as much as you want to impress them.
What if I have trouble choosing sororities?
Difficult decisions are common, but you should not look at this as a problem. Most women would be happy at more than one chapter on campus. Think about what each sorority has to offer you. A sorority should feel like a second home, a place where you feel totally comfortable and welcome. Your experiences at each party and personal beliefs and values should guide you to the groups that are right for you.
What is a bid?
A bid is an invitation to join a National Panhellenic Conference sorority. Bids are given out on the final day of Recruitment: Bid Day! You can only receive one bid and must choose to accept or deny that sorority’s invitation.
www.panhellenic.gatech.edu
What if I turn down a bid I receive?
If you turn down your bid, you will not be able to participate in Recruitment for one calendar year, and you will not be able to participate in Continuous Open Bidding. Think before deciding! Emotions tend to temporarily cloud your thinking and judgement. Give yourself and the sorority a chance before rejecting a bid.
8. Potential New Members and sorority women cannot be friends on Facebook until after Formal Recruitment is over.
9. No PNM’s should visit sorority property except during scheduled Recruitment functions.

Associate Member Chapter Recruitment CPC has two associate member chapters, Alpha Delta Chi and Alpha Omega Epsilon. Associate members are not National Panhellenic Conference groups, but they are recognized by Georgia Tech as sororities governed by CPC. They do not participate in Formal Recruitment, but conduct their own, separate Informal Recruitment. Associate chapter members enjoy similar events, programming, and socials as NPC sororities and participate in many CPC and Greek activities on campus. Each of our associate members represents a different niche on campus. Alpha Delta Chi is a national Christian sorority and Alpha Omega Epsilon is a national social engineering sorority. Alpha Delta Chi and Alpha Omega Epsilon will be participating in Informal Recruitment during the second week of school. Frequently Asked Questions:
1. How is Associate Chapter Recruitment different than Formal Recruitment? Associate Chapter Recruitment is a less-formal recruitment process that involves events and socials where you will be able to meet the members of the Associate Chapters. Examples of recruitment events include info sessions, movie nights, professional nights, and ice cream socials. Just like formal recruitment, the process is about a week long and ends with bid day, but the process itself is much more informal and less-structured. 2. Who can participate in Associate Chapter Recruitment? Alpha Omega Epsilon accepts women who are engineering majors, as well as computational media, computer science, biochemistry, chemistry, and physics majors. Alpha Delta Chi accepts Christian women of any major. 3. Do I have to sign-up for Associate Chapter Recruitment? Nope! We do encourage that anyone who is interested in the Associate Chapter Recruitment process attend the Associate Chapter Recruitment Kick-Off on Sunday, August 23rd at 5:30pm in the Student Center Theatre.
4. When is Associate Chapter Recruitment? Recruitment for both Associate Member Chapters will be held during the second week of school in the fall. Be sure to check the chapter websites for exact dates.

“Friendship is Essential to the Soul”
President: Mark Miller mmiller92@gatech.edu
On, November 17, 1911, at Thirkield Hall on Howard University, three undergraduate students Edgar A. Love, Oscar J. Cooper, Frank Coleman and their faculty adviser Professor Ernest E. Just, gave birth to the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. From the initials of the Greek phrase “friendship is essential to the soul,” the name Omega Psi Phi was derived. Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift were adopted as cardinal principles. Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. Delta Kappa Chapter was chartered on Georgia Tech’s campus on

November 20, 1976, making it the first NPHC organization chartered at Georgia Tech. There were eight members on the charter line, “In the Beginning”, since then there have been 26 lines at Delta Kappa. Delta Kappa chapter has been recognized for outstanding scholarship, social action, and numerous “step-show” competitions on the national, state, and district levels. Delta Kappa has won the Greek Alumni Challenge several years, including 2013.

Established on December 8, 2006, our council is the youngest of the four Greek Councils on campus and currently comprises of seven unique organizations, which the council supports as they preserve the cultural diversity of the community. Our council not only helps its constituent members by express their own, but also acts as a venue for further understanding and appreciation of the culture of all individuals.
While these organizations are oriented towards a certain culture, each is open to membership from any race or ethnicity. The specific recruitment process for each organization is conducted individually by each of the fraternities and sororities. The specific dates of the process are determined and announced by the individual chapters shortly prior to the start of the school year. Contact information and websites of each organization are shown in the following chapter pages. If you have any questions about our recruitment process or the Greek Community in general, please feel free to contact the recruitment chair of each organization, or member of the executive board of the council.
Our Diversity
The purpose of the Multicultural Greek Council, and each member organization, is to educate the community about diversity of and various cultures represented in the modern community today. Our council motto is “Unity in Diversity,” because though our council consists of a spectrum of organizations, we pride ourselves on our ability to respect each individual and see one another as members of a large family.

“The Sky is the Limit”
Recruitment Chair: Dhruv Mehta (267) 424-9298 Established on October 16, 1998, at the University of Michigan, Alpha Iota Omicron was the vision of a group of eighteen motivated young men who came together to begin brainstorming the foundation and ideals of a South Asian interest fraternity. This resulted in the development of our four fundamental principles: Brotherhood, Networking, Promoting South Asian Culture, and Community Service. At Georgia Tech, Alpha Iota Omicron prides itself on being a diverse South-Asian fraternity open to men of all countries and races. The fraternity takes part in several multi-cultural events on campus such as Garba, Diwali/ Holi Show, Vibha Dream
50
Mile and many more. Alpha Iota Omicron also hosts the annual India Run for Hope to raise awareness of cancer in South East Asia and is the fraternity’s biggest philanthropy. With the help and support of other organizations and the American Cancer Society (ACS), Alpha Iota Omicron has managed to raise $120,000 since the run was founded in 2006. With a strong alumni base, the brothers of Alpha Iota Omicron strongly believe in the four principles and follow it throughout our daily lives, which help us become stronger individuals for the Georgia Tech community.

What is IFC?
What is Rush?
If you have visited Georgia Tech, you have most likely seen the many (36 to be exact) houses around East Campus that are adorned with Greek letters. Twenty-eight of these are IFC fraternity houses. We also have four IFC fraternities that do not have a physical oncampus residence. The other eight Greek letter houses on campus are CPC sororities (see pg. 18 for more information).
Rush is a week-long opportunity to learn about the Georgia Tech community and meet many of your fellow Ramblin Wrecks. You might already know you want to join a fraternity. You might have never even considered joining a fraternity at any point in your life. That’s OK.
IFC stands for Interfraternity Council, and as an organization it serves as an advocate and governing board for its 32 chapters at Georgia Tech. You can learn more about the details of this on our website at fraternity.gatech.edu or on our Facebook page by searching for “Interfraternity Council at Georgia Tech.”
The members of these 32 fraternities make up the membership of IFC, and they represent the largest population of students within the Georgia Tech Greek community by a substantial margin. These men are come from all across the country and some from across the globe to study all of the various academic programs GT has to offer. They are united both as Yellow Jackets and as members of IFC.
There is absolutely no commitment involved in Rush Week. It’s very casual, and you can go at your own pace. You just show up to fraternity houses or events (after you have registered, see the next page for more information), eat free food, and talk to people. Of course, with 32 chapters, there is a lot of variety in our Greek community at Georgia Tech, and when you find a fraternity that you like, and that fraternity likes you, a fraternity might give you a bid (which is an invitation to join their chapter).

Interfraternity Council Fraternities Today Why join a fraternity? Values
In general, the crucial difference between a fraternity and any other typical student organization is that fraternities are based on strong values. Whether our organizations are brand new or 125 years old, all of them find success in aligning their actions with their values.
Friendship
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. If you do join, you can look forward to a rewarding social life integrated with the culture and traditions of the Institute.
Academics
At Georgia Tech, the Greek community consistently maintains a higher GPA than the non-Greek community. For a breakdown of these statistics in detail, go to greek.gatech.edu and click on “Reports.�
Leadership
Fraternities offer both internal leadership opportunities because they themselves need strong leaders, but also external leadership opportunities. Greek men and women represent the vast majority of campus leadership positions. As such, Greek Life can sometimes be a springboard for other involvement opportunities on campus.
Philanthropy
60
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 to build a passion for serving others and making a difference in the world.
Athletics
Fraternities compete against each other in fraternity-only leagues in intramural sports, but also compete against other groups, particularly in the playoffs. Most of the time, the competition is fierce, but more importantly, it is always fun and a great way to relieve stress.
No Hazing
Every fraternity has outlawed hazing in any form, and all have stated that hazing is contrary to the ideals of Fraternity. 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.
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. Every fraternity has also expressly stated that underage or excessive drinking by any of its members is not acceptable. New members participate in a community education seminar after joining to build awareness of this issue. IFC fraternity parties are regulated by clear and reasonable policies that keep our community safe.
Costs
New students are often worried about the monetary costs of 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.

Interfraternity Council Recruitment
Before You Start School Summer Rush
If you are in or near the Atlanta area this summer, you may be invited to rush events by fraternities. This is a great way to get head start on Rush Week and start getting to know some fraternity men. Please note that these events should not involve alcohol in any way, and we encourage all potential new members to meet multiple fraternities before making a final decision about joining.
Required Registration
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.
Registration for Rush is Required

IFC at FASET
You can meet IFC and learn more about us and all of Georgia Tech Greek Life at FASET Orientation. Come to our “Greek Life 101� breakout session to get background information and helpful statistics. You will hear about GT Greek Life right from the source! Also, please visit our tables at the Opportunities at Tech involvement fair and at Marketplace. This will give you the chance to meet us on a more individual basis, ask us more specific questions, and get a bunch of free stuff!
IFC after FASET
After each freshman FASET session throughout the summer, you will find tables set up on Fifth Street Bridge in between the Greek Sector and Tech Square (see map, pg. 66). You and/or your parents can come meet representatives from many of our IFC chapters in an open and welcoming environment!

Tips for Rush Week
Things to Remember
1) Be yourself. The fraternity wants to get to know the real you.
1) Download the rush mobile app.
2) Ask questions. You should learn as much about the fraternities as they learn about you. 3) Do your homework. Check out greek.gatech.edu, fraternity.gatech.edu, and chapter websites. 4) Take your time. You do not have to make a decision today, this week, or even this semester. 5) Don’t get discouraged. There are 32 chapters. If you haven’t found one you like, keep looking! 6) Use the 12-6-3 method. Start by trying to go to at least 12 fraternities at the start, then narrow to 6, and then 3.
2) Register for rush at fraternity.gatech.edu. It is free, it helps you, and is required! 3) There should be no alcohol present at any rush activities, on campus or off campus. If there is alcohol present, please notify the Office of Greek Affairs (greek.gatech.edu).
4) No fraternity endorses or condones any form of hazing. If you experience hazing, please notify the Office of Greek Affairs (greek.gatech.edu).
5) Not all our IFC fraternities have houses on campus. Rush Week is about meeting and getting to know people, regardless of where they live. 6) There are a lot of stereotypes out there about fraternities. Rush Week is your opportunity to meet Fraternity Men and determine your own opinion.

Interfraternity Council Frequently Asked Questions How does the bid process work?
A bid is an official invitation to join a fraternity as an associate member or pledge. There is no “bid day” or official bidding period — a fraternity can give a bid at any time according to its policy. While it can vary from chapter to chapter, a fraternity will generally give you a bid if they feel you could be a good fit for their chapter. Bids are generally good for the entire semester, but a majority accept their bid soon after receiving it. You may receive bids from many different 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.
Do I have to become a brother if I accept my bid?
No. The pledge period is a time for you to get to know the fraternity and for the fraternity to get to know you. Both have the option of ending the pledge period with no further obligation at any time if situations arise. 64
Will I get hazed?
No inter/national fraternity pledge program involves hazing, and chapters face serious consequences for hazing pledges or brothers. IFC and Georgia Tech have developed strict guidelines to make the pledge process as safe as possible.
How long is the pledge period, and what is it?
Pledge periods vary in length, but are generally two to three months long. During that time, you will learn the history of the fraternity, get to know the brothers and other pledges, and participate in service projects, intramurals, socials, date nights, mixers, and other aspects of fraternity life.
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. You will most likely be expected to attend at least one pledge education meeting a week as well as have the opportunity to go to other events with the chapter. Depending on the chapter, they might require you to eat some of your meals at the house.
www.fraternity.gatech.edu
If anything, a fraternity will help teach you valuable time management and study skills. Fraternity members can offer you help with your classes and will make sure you are studying to get grades equal to your ability. After investing time and effort into you as a pledge, 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 pledgeship and being a member. However, being in a fraternity is usually cheaper than living on campus after your first year (check out the Finances section on the page 61). 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 in. Most chapters will be dressed in business casual — a collared shirt and khakis, but you aren’t expected to wear anything special.

“Alma Mater First. Theta Chi for Alma Mater”
President: John Verrone john.verrone@gatech.edu
The Alpha Nu chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity was founded at Tech in 1923. Our motto, “An Assisting Hand”, charges brothers with being leaders in their communities and always lending a helping-hand to those in need. Our philanthropic values tied together with an incredible social experience at Theta Chi make it a great place to call home during college and hereafter. We remain a competitive force in all athletics - both at the club level and intramural level. If a close-knit brotherhood striving for excellence and making the most out of their college experiences is what you are looking for, Rush Theta Chi.
