Buffalo State recognizes that membership and new member recruitment is an essential component of the Fraternity and Sorority experience. For chapters to survive, they must continually recruit new members. It is the expectation of each Fraternity and Sorority to enhance the experience of each new/prospective member by providing membership education programming that meets college requirements.
All recognized fraternities and sororities must follow Buffalo State's Recruitment and New member Education Protocols.
This form is for students interested in learning more about Greek Life and the recruitment process. In addition, it will also allow you to connect with recognized Greek organizations at Buffalo State.
Intent to Recruit forms are due for Fall 2023 on Friday, September 1, 2023.
Organizations that choose to recruit are required to submit a New Member Education Plan/Intake Proposal to Student Leadership and Engagement two weeks prior to the first event.
