Frequently Asked Questions

Becoming a Member - Selection Criteria

Who is responsible for setting the qualifications?

Basic Membership Requirements are set by the governing body of each National Organization. Then, additional membership requirements are set by the administration of the university or the University's Pan-Hellenic Council. Finally, membership requirements are included in the bylaws of every chapter.

What are the basic qualifications of a Greek organization?

Most Black Greek Organizations have set a C+ GPA as the minimum requirement to join. All look for candidates with high ethical and moral standards and a record of high scholastic achievement. Evidence of leadership qualities and a willingness to work hard and support the national programs are also extremely important.

Do Greek letter organizations really look for members that will uphold their purpose?

YES!!! Every Greek who loves their organization and really believes in the mission of their organization really wants to encourage people who have those same ideals to join. The problem that we as undergrads face is trying to find out which people are truly committed to the spirit and ideals of our founders and not just trying to join to wear the letters.

Do all chapters of Greek organizations have this set image they must fulfill?

NO! Every Greek Organization has members who are totally different, yet alike in their devotion to the ideals of their founders. Their isn't a "set" stereotype for any Black Greek Organization, aside from our desire to choose people based on their willingness to work.
