Joining an NPHC fraternity or sorority is possible when members decide they
have enough interest from qualified students to take a new member class. This
may be in either the Fall or Spring semester, or both. Each chapter coordinates
their own process and events are held separately, with the exception of "Meet
the Greeks" held in the Fall. Most National Organizations require an application,
sophomore status, and a 2.5 cumulative GPA or higher. A few will accept second
semester freshmen. Called "Intake" this process is conducted with
the assistance of the local Graduate Chapter (a group of local alumni of each
organization).
To begin the intake process groups host meetings on the campus (some are called
informationals). It is expected that you research all of the groups so that
your decision to join is solid, and well informed. A great way to check out
the local chapter is to attend educational programs they sponsor. These meetings
and programs will be advertised on the campus.
There is no formal process to register for NPHC. For more information, contact the individual NPHC fraternities and sororities.
