How to Join a Fraternity or Sorority at NYU - The Recruitment Process

NYU is home to three governing councils for fraternities and sororities - each with its own recruitment or intake process. Explore our options, get involved, and find your community!

Interfraternity Council (IFC)

IFC Fraternity Recruitment takes place at the beginning of both Fall and Spring Semesters. This process allows potential new members (PNMs) to meet individual chapters, learn about their values, and build relationships with current members before potentially receiving an invitation to join.

Multicultural Greek Council (MGC)

Our cultural organizations, MGC fraternities and sororities, follow recruitment and intake processes that differ slightly from other councils. 

  • Some organizations host intake, where interested students attend events and connect with members over a longer period before beginning the new member process. 
  • Others hold recruitment periods, during which students participate in a set of events over a shoter timeframe before receiving an invitation to join. 

How to get involved:

  • Follow MGC organizations on social media for event announcements and timelines
  • Reach out to chapter members directly to express interest
  • Attend multiple events to explore your options and find your fit

Panhellenic Council

Fall 2025 Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment will take place over the weekends of September 6 and September 13. During this formal recruitment period, potential new members (PNMs) will meet all seven Panhellenic sororities at NYU. 

Following the formal recruitment period, chapters may host additional recruitment opportunities during the academic year as membership openings arise.
