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.
