Informal Recruitment:

Starting in early summer, chapter members will begin to initiate contact with men who have expressed interest on their university housing contract, through New Student Enrollment (NSE), or on this page. Expressing interest in Fraternity and Sorority Life does not obligate you to join. Rather, it gives you the opportunity to learn more about the fraternity chapters through recruitment events. Recruitment activities can include phone calls, hometown visits, barbecues, lake outings, athletic events, and countless other ways for college students to get to know one another. Such activities are designed to give both chapter members and potential members an opportunity to become acquainted as friends. The primary recruitment period for fraternities is May through September, though it is possible to join at any time.

If you are unable to come to Kearney and go through New Student Enrollment (NSE) during the summer, contact the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at (308) 865-8057 if you have any questions. If you have interest in a particular fraternity, you may view their chapter’s contact information on the "Chapter & Contact Information" tab. If interested, please fill out this form: IFC Interest Form.

If chapter totals allow, some chapters may have the opportunity to add new members to their group throughout the year. This is most likely to occur immediately following formal recruitment or in the spring semester, but this is not a guarantee. The process is much more informal, and does not require a sign-up. The best way to get started is to contact the Fraternity & Sorority Life Office at 308-865-8057 or complete our Sorority Interest Form.

The three chapters which compose the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) conduct recruitment events specific to each chapter. They typically begin with informational sessions where potential members can get an overview of each chapter and request a membership application. Once a student has been approved to move forward with the process, he or she will continue their community education from the selected chapter. Once the student has completed their specific educational process, the student will be able to "reveal" themselves as the newest member(s) of that organization.

For additional information regarding MGC chapter recruitment activities, please contact the Assistant Director for Fraternity & Sorority Life office at (308) 865-8057, or fill out the form: MGC Interest Form.

MGC sororities: Lambda Theta Nu and Sigma Lambda Gamma
MGC fraternities: Sigma Lambda Beta.
