Recruitment Calendar 2023-2024

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.
