Recruitment

There are many reasons to join a fraternity or sorority at Albion College including brotherhood/sisterhood, leadership, philanthropy, and fun!
Brotherhood/Sisterhood
Greek membership brings lasting friendships that continue throughout your life. The chapter becomes a “home away from home” for many men and women. Sorority women and fraternity men share friendships that are a special bond unlike any other. Brothers and sisters share their joys and disappointments, learn and grow together, and appreciate the loyalty of friends, brothers, and sisters that they know will be there for a lifetime.
Leadership
Membership in a Greek organization is one of the best ways you can discover and refine your leadership skills. Within each chapter, members may assume a variety of leadership roles ranging from chairing committees to holding offices. Chapters provide leadership opportunities for members who will become respected professionals and community leaders after graduation.
Philanthropy
Philanthropy is the giving of time, service, and money. This is an important part of every Greek chapter. During the year, fraternity men and sorority women strive to strengthen their relationship with the community by increasing individual member involvement in worthwhile community and campus events. Each chapter sponsors at least one philanthropic fundraiser during the academic year. These projects are a wonderful opportunity to have a good time with your brothers and sisters, as well as make a difference in the community.
Fun
One of the most exciting aspects of Greek life is the social experiences it offers. Formals, themed parties, homecoming events, Anchor Splash, Derby Days, and Greek Week are a few examples of the social opportunities sorority women and fraternity men share. These activities are not only fun for the members; they bond fraternity and sorority members together as a family and build unity within the entire Greek community. These shared experiences will make your collegiate years, and those to follow, a most rewarding experience.
Recruitment Eligibility
If you are a first-year student at Albion College, you cannot join a fraternity or sorority until the second semester of your first year.
