~ Relax! Fraternity recruitment at the University of Kentucky is very informal.
~ Bring a friend. Remember that friend from high school who is also at UK? What about your roommate or the guy down the hall? Invite a friend to participate in fraternity recruitment with you.
~ Visit as many fraternities as possible before making any decisions. Although you may recognize a fraternity’s name or know a fraternity member, visit a number of groups so that you can make an educated choice as to which fraternity is best for you. Each fraternity is unique.
~ Ask questions. To best understand what an individual fraternity is all about, you should ask questions and compare answers. Use the list in this brochure for ideas on questions you should ask.
~ Try to meet as many members as possible while you are visiting a fraternity. Where are last year’s new members? Seniors? Chapter officers? This will give you a better idea about the members of the chapter.
~Remember that fraternity recruitment is a mutual selection process by both you and the fraternity.
Look at all of your options and find the fraternity where you are most comfortable.
~ Don’t be pressured into a decision. If you need more time to make a decision, take it. Beware of the fraternity that is unwilling to give you ample time to make a decision.
~ Be confident in yourself. Be yourself.
~ Enjoy yourself and have fun!
