Recruitment/Intake Basics
Membership Recruitment (also referred to as “Intake” or “Rush”) typically takes place during the first three weeks of the semester. Any student interested in joining a fraternity or sorority must first register with OFSA so we may verify academic eligibility. Academic information for registered students is then shared with the fraternities and sororities.
