Recruitment Overview
Each affiliate organization will implement its respective internationally sanctioned membership intake process. NPHC chapters will advertise their membership intake process through fliers labeled “Interest Meeting, Informational, Rush Tea or Meet N’ Greet”, which all students are welcome to attend to learn more about an organization or express interest.
These fliers will always be posted outside of the Greek Life office or on social media (if allowed) no less than a week before said meeting. To learn more about NPHC organizations, interested students are encouraged to research their individual organization and chapter websites, follow organizations on social media, and attend various events hosted by NPHC organizations on campus.
