New Student Orientation

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU’RE HERE! NOW WHAT?

IMPORTANT GREEK ORGANIZATION INFORMATION FOR NEW STUDENTS

Now that you’ve arrived on campus, you might find yourself wondering what to do next.

IU and its Greek-letter organizations want new students to focus their immediate attention on academics and the transition to college. For this reason, first-year students (regardless of gender) are not allowed to attend Greek social functions during Welcome Week or the first two weeks of classes, whether or not they plan to participate in recruitment. Don’t jeopardize your future involvement with the Greek community by trying to move too quickly.

That’s what Welcome Week is for. It’s full of opportunities to get out, get involved, and get informed. There’s no better way to discover all that awaits you here at IU.

Download the Experience IU App The Experience IU app will keep you updated about upcoming events for Welcome Week and the Experience IU program. Download the app today to create your own experience at IU by adding events you would like to attend throughout Welcome Week and your first year at IU. Search for “Experience IU” to find this free app in the Apple Store and Google Play.
