HOW TO JOIN Fraternity men are some of the most well rounded individuals on campus- they are student leaders, knowledge seekers, and scholars. Here at Troy University, we have 8 unique Fraternity Chapters, and we highly recommend that you take the time to learn more about them all. We believe that there is a place for every man within our Greek system. Fraternity Recruitment begins with building relationships during the summer by providing you with the opportunity to meet many new people, including fellow students and fraternity men. During IMPACT, you will have the chance to explore Greek life. Over the summer, fraternity men may invite you to social outings such as kayaking trips, camping trips, or cookouts at the fraternity houses. This is the best way for you to develop a sense of what you are looking for in a fraternity and find which chapter best fits your personality. Formal recruitment begins with Fraternity Orientation on August 24. Here you will have another opportunity to speak with members of each fraternity and learn more about their organizations. The following night you will visit each of the fraternity houses for an official tour. This tour will be more structured than your visit over the summer.
If the chapter chooses you as someone they would like to have as part of their organization, they will offer you an official “bid� to join. Bidding will begin on August 26. If you receive a bid, it is up to you to determine whether or not you wish to accept it. You can receive bids from any number of houses, but you have to decide which chapter you would most like to join. Registration for fraternity recruitment began on May 15. A 2.5 high school GPA is required to go through the recruitment process. If you are a transfer student or currently enrolled student, and have a Troy GPA, you will need a 2.0 GPA to go through recruitment. Once you register, we will share your information with all IFC fraternities so they can contact you and learn more about your interests. By registering, you are not obligated to pledge a fraternity, but we hope that you can find a fit at Troy University. We look forward to meeting you during IMPACT and IFC Recruitment!
