So Your Son/Daughter Wants to Go Greek...
Q: What will my son/daughter have to
do to join a fraternity/sorority?
A: For starters, they will have to enroll
in the recruitment process. The fraternity
and sorority processes are different, but they
base themselves around being introduced to
current Greek members and deciding which
organization in which they feel that they "fit".
Afterwards they will go through a further "New
Member" process within their chosen
fraternity/sorority. These last different amount
of times and include different requirements,
depending on the organization.
Q: Does it cost money to join a
fraternity/sorority?
A: Yes. There is typically an initiation
fee and monthly dues (price depending on which
fraternity/sorority); women are also required to
pay a small fee to go through recruitment.
Q: Will my son/daughter's grades
suffer?
A: Typically, Greek students' grades go
up! With study groups, GPA requirements,
mandatory study hours, and the atmosphere of
other people doing their work, your son/daughter
should be influenced to excel in their classes!
There are some instances of a student's grades
dropping, but the overall GPA average of the
Greek population still tends to exceed the
average students'.
Q: Will my son/daughter have to live
in the fraternity/sorority house/Stairwell?
A: Depends on the chapter; each chapter
has their own live-in requirements. (These types
of questions would be ideal to ask during the
recruitment process!) Likely, your son/daughter
will want to live in the house/stairwell to take
advantage of the opportunities it presents. Make
sure that the house/stairwell has passed its
safety inspections and is clean. Talk to the
men/women who currently live in the house for
more information about what its like to live
there. Make an unannounced stop during the week
to get a sense for how the brothers/sisters
live. Living in the house/stairwell will be some
of your son/daughter's best memories.
Q: Will my son/daughter be hazed?
A: Hazing is banned at Indiana State
University and is very strictly enforced. Those
who believe they are being hazed or having
questions of what constitutes hazing are able to
contact their National Headquarters or The
Hazing Hotline for further information.
For any additional questions or concerns, please send an email to Adam Novotney.
