Congratulations on your decision
to come to Georgia Tech. You’ve already
made one of the most important decisions of
your life, and you’ve chosen one of the best
institutions in the country. As leaders of the
Greek community, we’re excited about the
potential in this year’s incoming freshman
class. During your time in college, you will
have many exciting learning experiences,
but none so complete, well-rounded, and
long-remembered as that of being a member
of a Greek organization. Even though you
may have no intention of joining a Greek
organization, it is worth your time and effort
to go through the recruitment process in
order to meet new people and learn more
about the different facets of the Georgia Tech
community as a whole.
As a potential member, we ask that
you keep an open mind and base your
decision on your personal opinions and not
those of friends, relatives, other potential
members, or stereotypes you may have

heard or formed. Joining a fraternity or
sorority is a lifelong decision that will be
one of the most rewarding experiences of
your life. There is a chapter for everyone,
but what is right for your friends or family
members may not be the right choice for
you. Additionally, fraternities and sororities
today are vastly different from stereotypes
you may have seen or heard of in the past.
Even from campus to campus, individual
chapters carry a personality all their own,
and it is up to you to choose the organization
that best represents your ideals and values.
New members of Greek organizations enter
a community of leaders, academic achievers,
philanthropists, and a social circle of friends
that is unmatched by any other experience. No matter what group you choose,
the friendships you form will be lifelong.
We encourage you to visit our website for
more information about summer events
and contact information. If you have any
additional questions, feel free to contact us.

Home Away From Home
Dear in
coming
student
s
If you aren’t sure Greek Life is for you, or if you don’t even know what it is, keep this in mind:
If you value academics, philanthropy, and leadership, and you are looking to form a
close network of friends - the Greek community at Tech may be for you!
Not everyone thinks of “going Greek” when they come to Tech, based on what they heard or
seen about Greek organizations, but there is more to Greek Life than what meets the eye. It
is only once you participate in recruitment or start to meet Greek students at Tech that you
realize whether or not Greek Life is for you. Always keep in mind there are over 50 chapters
to choose from, each one is unique and has different values. Find the one that fits best for
you, and you will begin the most well-rounded and memorable college experience possible.

Who we are...
The Greek Community
Academics
Leadership
The Greek community at Georgia Tech
realizes that excelling in academics is the
top priority of every student. Each Greek
organization has its own unique way of
encouraging and rewarding superior
academic performance. Chapters, as well as
the four Greek governing councils, sponsor
various educational programs and awards.
The Greek community develops members by
offering many executive board leadership
positions - either in their individual chapter,
or through a Greek governing council.
Throughout your years in a fraternity or
sorority, skills are gained through a variety
of experiences. In addition to involvement
within their chapters, Greek students learn
leadership qualities through on-campus and
co-op jobs or internships, and other student
organizations.
Programs may include:
• time management and study skills
seminars,
• scheduled study hours with free tutoring,
• organized study groups,
• and advice on courses and professors.
Order of Omega, a Greek honor society,
also inspires Greeks to reach their highest
potential by rewarding academic excellence.
As members of the Greek community,
we stand firm in our dedication to good
scholarship and believe that educational
success at Georgia Tech prepares men
and women for personal and professional
success. Retention rates, graduation rates,
and grade point averages are higher for
Greeks.
A grade report for the Greek community
is available on pages 70 and 71.
6
Being involved in a Greek organization also
allows you to network and increase your
involvement on campus, and as a result,
many leadership positions on Georgia Tech’s
campus are held by members of the Greek
community.
Quick Facts:
Freshmen Retention Rate
Greek : 98.1%
Non-Greek: 96.1%
Graduation Rate
Greek: 90.5%
Non-Greek: 82.4%
* As of Feb. 2016 statistics
Philanthropy
Athletics
Every national fraternity or sorority has
a designated charity or philanthropy that
they regularly sponsor. Each local Georgia
Tech chapter participates in projects which
support their national organization’s cause.
Athletics are an integral part of Greek
Life at Tech. Many chapters participate in
Tech’s 20+ intramural sports programs
offered throughout the year. Fraternities
and sororities compete in their own league
for the Greek championship, then advance
to play in the school championship rounds.
In addition to intramural sports, Greek
chapters receive block-seating at all home
football games. This guarantees you a seat
in the same section of the stadium with
others from your chapter, so you never have
to worry about standing in line to get a seat!
Every year, Greeks come together for large
scale philanthropy projects such as St.
Baldrick’s and the AIDS Walk. Greeks assist
with many projects during Homecoming
and Greek Week that range from planting
flowers, to volunteering at homeless shelters
and repairing local parks. In addition,
Greeks at Georgia Tech host Habitat for
Humanity Builds for families in need in the
Atlanta Community. In the spring, Greeks
participate in Dance Marathon and the
American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.
At Georgia Tech, Greeks feel it is important
to contribute their time and efforts to their
community, as everyone is able to learn and
grow through serving others.

The Greek Community
Greek Terminology
Alumni
Social
Greek Terms
Greek organizations have been on Georgia
Tech’s campus for over 125 years. Since
the first fraternity was chartered in 1888,
thousands of young men and women
have been initiated into Georgia Tech’s
numerous fraternities and sororities.
In addition to academic and leadership
opportunities, Greek organizations provide
a balance to the academic rigors of Georgia
Tech with a full social schedule. Social
events include:
• Semi-formals
• Formals
• Date Nights
• Parents and Family Weekends
• Alumni gatherings
• Step shows
Bid - an invitation to join a fraternity or
sorority chapter. Bid policies differ for
fraternities and sororities
Fraternity and sorority alumni stay active
with their respective local and national
chapters, as well as the Institute, long after
they have completed their degrees at Tech.
Although alumni support Georgia Tech and
their chapters financially, they also act as
mentors and serve as great examples for
undergraduate members. Greek alumni
demonstrate how fraternity or sorority
association can equip its members with the
skills to excel personally and professionally.
When you graduate, alumni networks
generate valuable resources that can
assist you in finding a great job and much
more. Alumni networks reach far beyond
individual chapters and across various
geographies. Imagine how it will feel to be
able to go anywhere in the United States
(and even beyond) and have automatic
connections through a fraternity or
sorority!

Parents and Families:
How You Can Help
A fraternity/sorority offers a wonderful support system that can help your student with
everything from adjusting to the academic rigors of Georgia Tech to finding a “home
away from home.” Upperclassmen in fraternities and sororities have been through many,
if not all, of the situations that your student
will experience as a student at Georgia Tech.
Fraternity and sorority members can provide
See you at FASET!
invaluable advice to help your student make
good choices that will ensure their future
Staff members and
success.
However, the active members of a chapter are
not the only source of guidance. Most chapters
have vast alumni networks that can open many
doors to future opportunities. Many famous
Tech graduates are alumni of fraternities and
sororities at Georgia Tech.
students will be at
every session to
answer questions
about your student’s
Greek experience.
If your student is considering “going Greek,”
remember that what you may have seen on television or in movies is very about misleading
what being “Greek” really means. In addition, your time in college will be drastically
different than what your student may experience. If you still have reservations with
allowing your student to join a fraternity or sorority, contact the Office of Greek Affairs or
the Parents Program Office.
As a parent or family member, there is a lot you can do for your student during their Greek
experience. Deciding which organization to join can certainly produce excitement and a
bit of anxiety. You can be there to counsel them through their decision:
10
• Check in with your student during the recruitment process.
• Talk with your student about all of their options to join, even if those options do not
include their friends’ choices.
• Discuss reasons for joining the group: opportunity to engage in service/philanthropy,
social support, impact on academics, etc.
• Consider the financial obligations of joining a fraternity/sorority.
www.parents.gatech.edu
If your student decides to join, you are
encouraged to be involved in the chapter
experience. Many parents and families
choose to get involved in a variety of ways:
• Ask your student about their new
brothers or sisters.
• Visit the chapter’s website and the
official website of the fraternity/sorority
headquarters.
• Review the fraternity/sorority mission,
values, and tenants of membership.
• Encourage your student to take a
leadership role in their chapter.
• Know the grade requirements for new
and active members.
• Be supportive of your student if they do
not receive a bid to join an organization.
Encourage and remind them that there
is plenty for them to get involved with at
Georgia Tech!
• Attend Family Weekend events.
• Join or start a Parents Club.
• Encourage your student to take advantage
of chapter resources, and scholarships.
• Encourage your student to attend
educational programs in the chapter and
on campus.
• Know the contact information for the
chapter, and your student’s big brother/
big sister.
At no time should your student’s
membership detract from their
academic performance, job or co-op
duties, nor their ability to be a successful
student at Tech. Unfortunately, there
are activities that can be divisive to the
growth and development of your student.
Alcohol misuse and hazing are issues that
plague fraternities and sororities across
the United States and Canada. At Tech, we
work diligently to address these issues in
the community. However, our institution
appreciates your support in reporting
these issues. If you have questions or
concerns, please feel free to contact the
Office of Greek Affairs, the Parents Program
Office or the specific fraternity/sorority
headquarters.

Spend a three day, two night experience making new friends, learning from upper class students about the Institute, and developing
your leadership style to get you ready for your first year at Georgia Tech!
The greatest impact of being Greek is the mentorship that I was able to
receive from other students of all ages. In a fraternity, I was surrounded
by people younger and older than me and I found the relationships to be
very rewarding. It was nice as a freshman to be able to look up to a 4th or
5th year and strive to accomplish the same things that older students had.
Even now as an older brother in my chapter, I still find myself being able to
learn from the new members.

Although I didn’t expect it, I quickly found that joining a Greek organization
was an incredible resource for getting involved. I was fortunate that many
of my fraternity brothers were involved in organizations all across campus.
They helped me to choose and pursue the organizations I wanted to get
involved in. Going Greek has given me the opportunity to be involved
alongside my fraternity brothers, which unquestionably has made the
whole experience more enjoyable and meaningful.

I’d encourage every freshman to get involved as early and often as possible.
For me, joining my fraternity really helped me hit the ground running when
I got to Tech. From day one, I was informed about events and opportunities
on campus that I wouldn’t have otherwise known about had I not gone
Greek. These experiences helped me gain skills that I’ll carry with me
throughout my career, and they also led to numerous friendships outside
of my own chapter.

Q. How did your views of being Greek change from before you
got to Tech to after you arrived on campus?
Before arriving to Tech, I had no idea what Greek life would be on
campus. However, after arriving to school and witnessing first hand how
strong the brotherhood was in my fraternity, I knew it was something
I wanted to be apart of. My fraternity exhibits all of the same values I
embody. Once you find an organization that becomes your new family
on campus, there’s no greater feeling.
Jamal Johnson
Major: Business Administration
Q. How has being a part of an NPHC organization affected
you as a Georgia Tech student?
Joining an NPHC organization has been a huge catalyst to my growth at
Georgia Tech. It has taught me the importance of loving others regardless
of our diverse background, leading by example in my community, and
continuously working hard to leave a meaningful impact. It has also
given me other opportunities to create new relationships and networks
with many people in the Atlanta area.

Q. How has your Greek affiliation affected your life here at
Georgia Tech?
As an out of state student, coming to Tech and not knowing anyone
was definitely a scary experience. By going Greek, I was immediately
surrounded by a great group of women who not only made my transition
into college easier, but also helped me get involved on campus.
Ashika Ganesh
Major: Computer Science
Q. What inspired you to join a Multicultural Greek organization?
At first the reason why I joined a fraternity was to make friends. However,
what keeps me being part of Multicultural Fraternity is the pillars/values
they follow. Being a part of a multicultural fraternity also allows me to
represent my own culture and country.
Lee Eang
Major: Electrical Engineering
Q. How were you able to balance schoolwork with your
involvement in the Greek community?
Balancing schoolwork with Greek Life is difficult but far from impossible.
Yes, we go to Georgia Tech and life certainly revolves around academics, but
if you make sure to give yourself time to preare adequately, you will still
have plenty of time to enjoy yourself and do things out of the classroom.
Everyone at Tech is smart, the other things you get involved with and
passionate with are is what will set you apart.
Mohit Limdi
Major: Chemical Engineering
Be yourself and don’t be afraid to have the college experience you want.

Q. How has Greek affiliation had a positive impact on your Georgia
Tech experience?
Major: International Affairs
Believe in yourself ! Take every opportunity you are given and step outside your
comfort zone. Never assume you aren’t qualified for a leadership role or job
opportunity, and finally, surround yourself with people who make you better.
Q. How were you able to balance schoolwork with your involvement in
the Greek community?
The Greek community has provided me a network of motivated, intelligent
women who inspire me to be a better student every day. In addition, we have
major-specific scholarship families in my chapter which have been an extremely
helpful resource when it came to choosing classes, helping with my homework,
and providing career advice.
Meredith Wolpert
Q. How do your values align with the CPC community?
CPC highly values philanthropy and service, and I have really appreciated the
encouragement and accountability built into the CPC community. It has also
provided opportunities to grow and step up as a leader.

Being a part of CPC has pushed me to be bolder in all my interactions with
people, and bolder in my actions for myself, making me a stronger person
and a better friend. The more involved I became within my chapter, the more
satisfied I became with my Tech experience. I have become a more confident and
compassionate individual because of my sisters, who are so encouraging and
who support me just as much as I support them.

Panhellenic Council
About Us
2016 Collegiate Panhellenic Council Executive Board
Our Council
Every woman who joins a Panhellenic
sorority also becomes a member of the
Collegiate Panhellenic Council (CPC). CPC
is the governing body for the ten sororities
on Georgia Tech’s campus and unites all
of its members regardless of affiliation.
CPC and our members work to make the
Greek community a positive influence
on campus and in the community. Each
member sorority has a delegate on the
CPC governing board, which is led by
seven Executive Board members. CPC is
responsible for promoting scholarship,
philanthropy, personal growth, safety,
and campus involvement among all
sorority members. CPC women strive to
live by the Panhellenic Creed and embody
high ideals in all that they do.
18
The Panhellenic
Creed
We, as Undergraduate Members of women’s
fraternities, stand for good scholarship, for
guarding of good health, for maintenance
of fine standards, and for serving, to the
best of our ability, our college community.
Cooperation for furthering fraternity life,
in harmony with its best possibilities, is
the ideal that shall guide our fraternity
activities.
We, as Fraternity Women, stand for service
through the development of character
inspired by the close contact and deep
friendship of individual fraternity and
Panhellenic life. The opportunity for wide
and wise human service, through mutual
respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by
which we strive to live.

Formal
Recruitment
Formal Recruitment is the process by which
the seven National Panhellenic Conference
sororities recruit new members. Every
fall, CPC organizes Formal Recruitment by
overseeing the invitation and bid matching
process, establishing recruitment standards,
and selecting Pi Chi’s - your Panhellenic
recruitment counselors. In the next few pages
we will explain the recruitment process to
you and what a fun experience it will be!
CPC Formal Recruitment requires interested

Expectations of
Joining a Sorority
Members of Panhellenic sororities must
complete a number of requirements that vary
between organizations in order to maintain
their memberships. These requirements
often include completion of a set number
of philanthropy hours, weekly attendance
at chapter-wide meetings, participation in
formal recruitment prior to the start of the
school year, on-time payment of chapter dues.
Membership requirements are customized
for each Chapter and exist in order to
maintain Panhellenic’s history of strong and
successful organizations.
By joining a sorority, you will gain an
incredible support system of women who
share your values. You will have access to
unique academic resources, professional
opportunities, leadership positions, social
events, and a variety of philanthropic
activities. Women of CPC are dedicated to
leading well-balanced lives and making
a positive impact on our Georgia Tech
community.

Formal Recruitment
Basics
Chapter Finances
Though financial commitment is necessary, joining a sorority comes with many benefits. Sorority
housing generally costs less than on or off campus housing, and several of the initial fees are just
one time fees. There are many opportunities within each chapter to find ways to help with the
costs of being in a sorority. Collegiate Panhellenic Chapters give out approximately $5,000 in
scholarships each year. Please be sure to ask each chapter on Day 2 of recruitment about fees as
well as check out their websites. All costs below are approximate.

About Rounds
Day One

Day
Philanthropy
Day
Sisterhood
Day
What to expect...
During this day you will visit each of the seven
chapters for 25 minutes. Conversations will
be short and light-hearted. Make sure you tell
the sisters about yourself, and feel free to ask
questions about the sorority and Greek life in
general. Maintain a positive outlook throughout
all the parties, and do not set your mind on one
chapter before Recruitment or during Round
One. You will also view a presentation from our
new NPC colony that will give you information
about the newest sorority on campus. Keeping
an open mind is the best way to ensure that you
go to the house where you are happiest!
What to wear...
Day one dress is casual and comfortable. We will
provide everyone with a recruitment t-shirt to wear
that will be handed out at the kick-off ceremony
on August 18th. Shorts should be worn with the
t-shirt. You will be walking to many houses, so
comfortable shoes such as sandals are a must.
22
Formal Recruitment
Questions to ask yourself ...
Would I like to get to know these women better?
Did I feel welcome when I walked through the
door? Were the members pleasant and friendly?
About Rounds
Day Four
Preferential
Round
Photo: Diane Lin
What to expect...
During this day you will visit up to six chapters.
The second day of events is philanthropy day.
Each party lasts 35 minutes. The chapters will
introduce you to their philanthropy and all of the
different things they do both on campus and nationally to further their causes. The atmosphere
will be very relaxed; ask questions you might
have about the philanthropy within the sorority
as well as on campus. Today, you and the sisters
should be able to know each other better. You
may get a tour of the house on this day and financial information will be presented.
What to wear...
Skirts, nice shorts, or summer sundresses are recommended. You will be moving through the houses
so be sure to wear clothes that are comfortable and
easy to move in. Comfortable sandals are appropriate footwear for Day Two as well.
Questions to ask yourself...
Do I feel comfortable with these women? Are
they genuine? What can I gain from membership
in this group and what can I contribute? Can I
afford the financial commitment to this sorority?
What to expect...
During this day you will visit up to four chapters. The events are longer and more personal.
You will watch a video, which is meant to tell
you more about the chapter, and you may talk
with people you have previously met. The atmosphere is much more personal; ask any questions
you might still have about the sorority and its
members. Trust your feelings and begin thinking about which chapter you feel you would fit in
best. Consider where you feel most comfortable,
and do not rely on the opinions of others.
What to wear...
Outfits on Day Three are a little nicer than before.
Skirts, dresses, or pant outfits that you might wear
to a banquet or religious service are recommended.
Sandals, flats or comfortable wedges are appropriate footwear. You will be doing some walking this
day, so be sure to be comfortable.
Am I still comfortable with the sisters I have
met? Can I call these women my sisters? Do they
stress the values that are important to me?
What to expect...
This round is called Preferential (Pref) because
you will be attending up to two chapters and
making the final decision about which sorority
you would prefer. Each sorority has a different
ritual or ceremony they will present, and the
sisters will be telling you what their sorority
means to them. Reflect back over the last few
days, and ask any questions you may have. It
may be difficult to choose between chapters,
but remember what is most important to you
and the values each chapter demonstrated.
Consider all of your options and go where YOU
will be most happy.
What to wear...
A nice dress that you would wear to a wedding
or a similar special event would be appropriate.
Semi-formal or formal (prom type) dresses are
too dressy. You will only be visiting 1-2 houses,
so you may wear comfortable heels if you want.
What do I want in a sorority and are these
qualities and values present in this chapter? Do I want these women to be my sisters?
23
Panhellenic
Frequently Asked Questions
If I go through Recruitment, am I
obligated to join?
No, many women choose to go through Recruitment
to meet people and make new friends. Recruitment
is an opportunity for you to visit the sororities, get a
glimpse of Greek life, and assess whether or not you
would like to join the Greek community. You may
choose to stop the process at any point.
What should I talk about during
Recruitment events?
It is important to be yourself during Recruitment and
let the conversation flow naturally. The sororities
are presenting themselves to you just as you are
presenting yourself to them. Ask questions so you
can make comparisons and decisions.
During Day One you will mostly talk about yourself—
what you were involved in during high school and
your intended major. During Round Two, the sisters
will be telling you about each chapter’s involvement
in service and other events. Remember to keep
asking questions during this round since you will
have to be narrowing down your choices in the next
round.
During Days Three and Four, conversations will
become more serious. It is in these rounds that you
want to make sure the sorority women get to know
you more. Remember to keep in mind what values are
important to you as you are making your selections.
What should I expect my Recruitment days to
be like?
24
Recruitment can be tiring both physically and
emotionally. However, you decide how positive a
recruitment experience you will have. Keeping a
good attitude and an open mind are vital. Focus on
sororities that are inviting you back rather than on
any disappointments.
What if I’m shy?
Just be yourself! Every sorority wants members
with a variety of personalities. Each member of
a sorority contributes her own individual talents
to the chapter. Keep in mind that it is up to you to
present yourself to each sorority. Smile and feel free
to talk. Sororities want to impress you as much as
you want to impress them.
What if I have trouble choosing sororities?
Difficult decisions are common, but you should not
look at this as a problem. Most women would be
happy at more than one chapter on campus. Think
about what each sorority has to offer you. A sorority
should feel like a second home, a place where you feel
totally comfortable and welcome. Your experiences
at each event and your values should guide you to the
groups that are right for you.
What is a bid?
A bid is an invitation to join a National Panhellenic
Conference sorority. Bids are given out on the final
day of Recruitment: Bid Day! You can only receive
one bid and must choose to accept or deny that
sorority’s invitation.
What if I turn down a bid I receive?
If you turn down your bid, you will not be able to
participate in Recruitment for one calendar year,
and you will not be able to participate in Continuous
Open Bidding. Think before deciding! Give yourself
and the sorority a chance before rejecting a bid.
Important guidelines for PNMs
1. A PNM (Potential New Member) must be
enrolled as a full-time student at Georgia Tech in
good standing.
2. All PNMs must have registered and paid their
Recruitment fees by 4:00pm on Thursday, August
18, 2016.
3. Each chapter has minimum GPA requirements
for women with already established college GPA’s:
it is important to maintain your grades if you are
participating in summer semester.
4. No women participating in FASET should reveal
their affiliation to you during a FASET session. It is
important for you as a PNM not to try to figure out
your FASET Leader’s affiliation during the session.
5. Sorority women you did not know at the
beginning of the summer should not attempt to
contact you at any point during the summer or
Formal Recruitment.
6. You should not attempt to contact any sorority
women you did not know prior to the summer.
7. PNMs and sorority women cannot be friends on
Facebook until after Formal Recruitment is over.
8. No PNMs should visit sorority property except
during scheduled Recruitment functions.

Associate Member
Chapter Recruitment
CPC has two associate member chapters, Alpha Delta Chi and Alpha Omega Epsilon.
Associate member are not National Panhellenic Conference groups, but they are a part of
Georgia Tech CPC. Associate chapter members enjoy similar events, programming, and
socials as NPC sororities and participate in many CPC and Greek activities on campus.
Alpha Delta Chi is a national Christian sorority, and Alpha Omega Epsilon is a national social
engineering and technical sciences sorority. While they do not fully participate in Formal
Recruitment, both will be present on Day One and Day Three if you would like to
learn more and meet their sisters. Alpha Delta Chi and Alpha Omega Epsilon will then
conduct their own, separate Informal Recruitments during the second week of school.
Want to learn more? Attend the Associate Member Recruitment Kick-off Event!
Sunday, August 28th at 7:00 pm
Location: Student Center Theater (tentative)
Information, Snacks, and Fun!
1. How is Informal Recruitment different than Formal
Recruitment? It is a less-structured process that
involves events and socials where you will be able to
meet the members of the Associate Chapters. Examples
of events include info sessions, game nights, professional
nights, and ice cream socials. Just like formal recruitment,
the process is about a week long and ends with a bid day,
but the process itself is much more informal .
2. Who can participate in Informal Recruitment? Alpha
Omega Epsilon accepts women who are engineering
majors, as well as computational media, computer
science, biochemistry, and chemistry majors. Alpha Delta
Chi accepts Christian women of any major.
30
3. Do I have to sign up for Informal Recruitment?
Nope! We do encourage anyone who is interested in the
Associate Chapters’ Informal Recruitment Processes to
attend the Associate Chapter Recruitment Kick-Off on
Sunday, August 28th at 7:00pm.
4. What if I have a conflict and can’t make it to every
Informal Recruitment event? Don’t worry, you can
still participate! If you have a conflict, we encourage
you to contact the Associate Chapters’ recruitment
chair (contact information can be found on each of their
chapters’ websites).
5. When is Associate Chapter Recruitment?
Recruitment for both Associate Member Chapters will be
held during the second week of school in the fall. Be sure
to check the chapters’ Georgia Tech websites for exact
dates, times and locations.

members, the founders consisted of a handful of bright
and determined young women lead by Francine McColy
Foxworth. Today,our presence on campus can be felt and
its members continue to be leaders in the Tech community
and beyond. We host a number of programs honoring
Alpha Kappa Alpha’s Program Initiatives, “Launching
New Dimensions of Service”. These programs include our
annual Hunger Games Cook-Off, Special topics: World
Cafe, Fall Bonfire, ASCEND High School Mentor Program,

2008 when four young men captivated by the legacy of
Sigma restored it to the colony status. After thorough
recruiting and much work, Nu Beta was completely
restored to the status of a fully chartered collegiate
chapter in the Fall of 2011. Since then, Nu Beta added
more brothers to the chapter in the Spring of 2014,
Fall of 2015, and Spring of 2016. The Nu Beta brothers
hold themselves to a high standard of excellence and

Our Council
Since its inception, MGC has served as
an umbrella for culturally based Greek
organizations on campus. Established in
2006, our council is the youngest of the four
Greek Councils and is currently comprised of
six unique organizations, which the council
supports as they preserve the cultural diversity
of the community. Our council not only helps
its constituent members express their own
diversity, but also acts as a venue for further
understanding and appreciation of the culture
of all individuals.
Our Diversity
The purpose of the MGC and each member
organization is to educate the community about
diversity and various cultures represented
in today’s community. Our council motto is
“Unity in Diversity,” because though our council
consists of a spectrum of organizations, we
pride ourselves on our ability to respect each
individual and see one another as members of
a large family.

While these organizations are oriented

membership from any race or ethnicity. The
recruitment process for each organization
is conducted individually by each of the
fraternities and sororities, and the specific
dates of the process are determined and
announced by the individual chapters prior to
the start of the school year. Contact information

What is IFC?
What is Rush?
If you have visited Georgia Tech, you have most
likely seen the houses around East Campus that
are adorned with Greek letters. We also have
three IFC fraternities that do not have a physical
on-campus residence. The other eight Greek
letter houses on campus are CPC sororities (see
pg. 19 for more information).
Rush is a week-long opportunity to learn about
the Georgia Tech community and meet many of
your fellow Ramblin Wrecks. You might already
know you want to join a fraternity. You might
have never even considered joining a fraternity
at any point in your life. That’s OK.
The members of these 32 fraternities make
up the membership of IFC, and they represent
the largest population of students within the
Georgia Tech Greek community by a substantial
margin. These men are come from all across
the country and some from across the globe to
study all of the various academic programs GT
has to offer.
Of course, with 32 chapters, there is a lot of variety in our Greek community at Georgia Tech,
and when you find a fraternity that you like, and
that fraternity likes you, a fraternity might give
you a bid (which is an invitation to join their
chapter).
IFC stands for Interfraternity Council, and as
an organization it serves as an advocate and
governing board for its 32 chapters at Georgia
Tech. You can learn more about the details of
this on our website at fraternity.gatech.edu.

Fraternities Today
Values
In general, the crucial difference between
a fraternity and any other typical student
organization is that fraternities are based on strong
values. Whether our organizations are brand new
or 125 years old, all of them find success in aligning
their actions with their values.
Friendship
College represents an opportunity to make friends
that you will have for the rest of your life. Whether
or not you join, the Georgia Tech IFC community
offers you an awesome opportunity to make
new friends, both freshmen and upperclassmen,
through the experience of Rush Week.
Academics
At Georgia Tech, the Greek community consistently
maintains a higher GPA than the non-Greek
community. For a breakdown of these statistics in
detail, go to greek.gatech.edu.
Leadership
Fraternities offer both internal leadership
opportunities because they themselves need strong
leaders, but also external leadership opportunities.
Greek men and women represent the vast majority
of campus leadership positions. As such, Greek
Life can sometimes be a springboard for other
involvement opportunities on campus.
Philanthropy
The fraternal values of our community lead us
to many philanthropic and service endeavors
within the Georgia Tech and Atlanta community.
Fraternities provide a great outlet to continue or
to build a passion for serving others and making a
difference in the world.
46
Athletics
Fraternities compete against each other in
fraternity-only leagues in intramural sports, but
also compete against other groups, particularly in
the playoffs. Most of the time, the competition is
fierce, but more importantly, it is always fun and a
great way to relieve stress.
No Hazing
Every fraternity has outlawed hazing in any form,
and all have stated that hazing is contrary to the
ideals of Fraternity. In the State of Georgia, hazing
is a criminal offense. IFC and the Georgia Tech
administration are unconditionally opposed to
any situation created to produce mental and/or
physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment
or ridicule.
Social Responsibility
During the week of rush, all fraternity houses and
events are required to be free from any alcohol, and
IFC patrols each chapter to ensure compliance with
this rule. If you do join, you can look forward to a
rewarding social life integrated with the culture
and traditions of the Institute. IFC fraternity parties
are regulated by clear and reasonable policies that
keep our community safe.

Recruitment
Before You Start School
Summer Rush
If you are in or near the Atlanta area this
summer, you may be invited to rush events
by fraternities. This is a great way to get
head start on Rush Week and start getting
to know some fraternity men. Please note
that these events should not involve alcohol
in any way, and we encourage all potential
new members to meet multiple fraternities
before making a final decision about joining.
Required Registration
You are required to register for Rush
Week online at fraternity.gatech.edu. It is
completely free and it can only help you
by giving fraternities a way to learn more
about you and potentially contact you.
There is no obligation to participate after
you have registered, but is a great way to get
information and updates about the process.
IFC at FASET
You can meet IFC and learn more about
us and all of Georgia Tech Greek Life at
FASET Orientation. Come to our “Greek Life
101” breakout session to get background
information and helpful statistics. You
will hear about GT Greek Life right from
the source! Also, please visit our tables
at the involvement fair and during class
registration. This will give you the chance to
meet us on a more individual basis and ask
us more specific questions.

Tips for Rush
Week
Things to
Remember
1) Keen an open mind. Many people that
1) Download the rush mobile app via
Guidebook
at
http://guidebook.com/
guide/55970
The redemption code is
qmdb7wv1
end up joining a fraternity did not plan on it
before they came to college. Rush is a great
opportunity to see if going Greek is a good
fit for you.
2) Be yourself. The fraternity wants to get to
know the real you; don’t feel overwhelmed
if the they ask you a lot of questions. They
want to get to know you as much as you want
to get to know them.
3) Do your homework. Check out greek.
gatech.edu, this Guide, and chapter websites.
Being prepared for Rush will help you get the
most out of it.
4) Don’t get discouraged. There are 32
chapters. If you haven’t found one you like, keep
looking. You do not have to make a decision this
week, or even this semester.
5) Use the narrow down approach. First,
select 10-15 chapters through research and the
Kick-Off tabling event. Then, visit between 5-10
chapters during the first two days of rush. In
days three and four, invest more time with the
ones you connect with most as you narrow
down your final choices throughout the week.
2) Register for rush at fraternity.gatech.edu.
3) There should be no alcohol present at any
rush activities, on campus or off campus. If
there is alcohol present, please notify the
Office of Greek Affairs.
4) No fraternity endorses or condones any
form of hazing. If you experience hazing,
please notify the Office of Greek Affairs.
5) Not all our IFC fraternities have houses
on campus. Rush Week is about meeting and
getting to know people, regardless of where
they live.
6) There are a lot of stereotypes out there
about fraternities. Rush Week is your
opportunity to meet Fraternity Men and
determine your own opinion.

How does the bid process work?
A bid is an official invitation to join a fraternity
as an associate member or pledge. A fraternity
can give a bid at any time according to its policy.
A fraternity will generally give you a bid if they
feel you could be a good fit for their chapter.
You may receive bids from many different
fraternities and then decide where you fit best.
Do not feel pressured into accepting the first
bid you receive. You don’t have to accept a bid
if you don’t feel a particular fraternity is right
for you.
Do I have to become a brother if I
accept my bid?
The pledge period is a time for you to get to
know the fraternity and for the fraternity to get
to know you. Both have the option of ending the
pledge period at any time if the fit is no longer
right.
Pledge periods vary in length, but are generally
two to three months long. During that time,
you will learn the history of the fraternity, get
to know the brothers and other pledges, and
participate in service projects, intramurals,
socials, date nights, mixers, and other aspects
of fraternity life.
Will I get hazed?
50
No fraternity pledge program involves hazing,
and chapters face serious consequences for
hazing pledges or brothers. IFC and Georgia
Tech have developed strict guidelines to make
the pledge process as safe as possible.
What if I don’t have time?
While you are expected to become involved
and participate in events with the fraternity,
they realize that you are also adjusting to
college life. If anything, a fraternity will help
teach you valuable time management and study
skills. Fraternity members can offer you help
with your classes and will make sure you are
studying to get grades equal to your ability.
After investing time and effort into you as a
pledge, the fraternity is committed to helping
you succeed.
What if I can’t afford it?
It is important for you to make sure you can
fulfill the financial obligations of pledgeship and
being a member. However, being in a fraternity
is usually cheaper than living on campus after
your first year (information about finances are
on page 47). Chapter presidents and treasurers
are also generally willing to work out payment
options for members. Talk to the fraternities
you are interested in about how their dues work
and how it can work into your budget.
What should I wear to rush?
Rush is very informal, so wear whatever you
feel comfortable in. Most chapters will be
dressed in business casual — a collared shirt
and khakis, but you aren’t expected to wear
anything special.
