Recruitment is a mutual selection process of choosing a fraternity to join. Recruitment is about meeting people and making friends. Recruitment is about finding people with common interests and meeting people from different backgrounds. Common Recruitment events include barbecues, bands, and sporting events. If a fraternity decides it would like you to join, they will offer you a bid. You signify your desire to join a fraternity by signing your bid. After a successful period of learning about the fraternity (new member education) you will be initiated as a member.

BROTHERHOOD - A campus as large as SOUTHEAST provides exceptional extra curricular activities. No other type of organization provides the level of camaraderie found in the fraternities. In fraternity houses, you will find a spirit of mutual helpfulness by which all brothers work together for the improvement of both the chapter and its members.

ACADEMICS - Fraternities provide many resources for academic excellence. Like the Residence Halls, many fraternities offer a study room or computer room. Many fraternities also encourage study hours for new members. Furthermore, many fraternities offer brother tutor programs and files of previous exams. Statistically, fraternity men are more likely to graduate than non-fraternity men and brothers living in-house have had higher GPA's than those living out.

ATHLETICS/INTRAMURALS - Fraternities also offer excellent opportunities for involvement in sports. Most chapters will field teams in a variety of sports including not only Football and Basketball but also Racquetball, Bowling, Inner-tube Water polo, etc. Many fraternities and sororities also sponsor charity sports tournaments.  Sporting events are also a part of Greek Week.

PHILANTHROPY AND COMMUNITY SERVICE - Fraternities offer many opportunities to serve the community. Many chapters organize direct service programs like tutoring, highway clean-up or encourage members to find individual service opportunities such as being a Big Brother.  Chapters also organize fundraising events like athletic tournaments and variety show.

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT - The Greek System provides the highest quality social programming on campus. Internally, living with a large group demands compromise, allows individuality, calls for leaders, and provides lifelong memories. Through serenades, Recruitment events, and social events you will learn invaluable presentational skills. Greek system events like Socials, Recruitment events, Formals and Brotherhood events provide opportunities to meet literally hundreds of people, including alumni brothers from around the country that provide a network of opportunities.

LEADERSHIP - The Greek System provides endless chances to develop leadership skills. Internally, chapters have officers, committee chairs, and committees in which to become involved. The college fraternity provides opportunities to learn and hone skills in program planning, sales, communications skills, risk management, debate, building maintenance, financial management, accounting, motivational speaking, arbitration, etc. In addition to the opportunities available internally, Greek System member are well represented in nearly all leadership positions on campus with 63% of Greek students belonging to at least one student organization outside their chapter. Greek Members are involved with the Student Government, Academic Honor Societies and Community Advisors.
