Registration or participation in Nebraska Wesleyan University’s Greek recruitment does not guarantee membership. Each chapter is responsible for selecting members into its organization. Membership selection is in no way influenced or controlled by the Panhellenic or Interfraternity Councils or Nebraska Wesleyan University.

Fraternity Recruitment

Each fall, the Interfraternity Council hosts tours of every fraternity chapter house. The council also hosts a barbeque where new students meet members of the fraternity community.

Chapters also host their own recruitment events throughout the year. All recruitment events and chapter facilities are alcohol free.

The best way to know whether a chapter is right for you is to check out all of the fraternities NWU has to offer. Begin by contacting the Interfraternity Council (IFC) Vice President of Recruitment and Retention or the following recruitment officers for each chapter.

Sorority Recruitment

There are two ways to join a sorority at Nebraska Wesleyan University: fall formal recruitment and continuous open bidding. Most women join via fall formal recruitment.

Fall Formal Recruitment

Fall formal recruitment occurs between move-in day and the first day of class. Interested women fill out an online application and attend an educational session about the recruitment process. Over three days, women visit each organization and meet the members. Recruitment counselors, called Rho Gammas, assist and answer questions.

Nebraska Wesleyan sororities use a mutual selection recruitment process. Women choose the chapter that they are most interested in while the chapters in turn also choose what women they would be interested in extending a bid of membership.

Following recruitment, women are extended invitations to join sororities and attend chapter Bid Day celebratory activities. All recruitment events and chapter facilities are alcohol free.

Continuous Open Bidding

Continuous open bidding (COB) is an option that is only sometimes available, depending on certain factors. Continuous open bidding is available to women after the formal recruitment process has concluded until the last day of spring classes.
