HOW TO JOIN Members interested in joining one of these chapters will participate in intake. Members must have an established Iowa State GPA, so many members will not join until their second semester at Iowa State University, at the earliest. Members interested in a National Pan-Hellenic organization are encouraged to attend Meet the Greeks, held each semester, and/or attend an informational session for one of the organizations. Students who are interested in joining an NPHC chapter can start attending the chapter’s events and engaging with their members to determine if the chapter is right for them. Each organization has a GPA, completed credit hour, and enrollment status requirement for membership. All NPHC organizations require an established Iowa State GPA. Some organizations may host a “Rush Week”, where prospective members can learn more about the organization to determine if they would like to pursue membership. Other organizations may host informationals to provide more context and information.
TIPS FOR JOINING EARN THE GRADES! It is important that you have a great academic start at Iowa State. Focus on exceeding the minimum GPA requirement. Utilize the services provided by the Academic Success Center to help yourself thrive.
GET TO KNOW THE MEMBERS AND THE ORGANIZATIONS! Whether you are extremely familiar with sororities and fraternities, or know nothing at all, it is important that you get to know the members and the organizations AND for the members to get to know you. Use the first semester to attend each chapters’ events and interest meetings to determine the best fit for you. You can learn of events and meeting from various campus event calendars, signup on chapter’s email list, follow chapters on social media, and look for flyers around campus. Just remember to be yourself.
