All Governing Councils, fraternities, and sororities may establish standards of membership including, but not limited to, credit hour and grade point average requirements.

To affiliate with a fraternity or sorority, a student must have completed, at Miami University or other accredited institution of higher education:

1. One full-time fall or spring semester.
2. 12 college credit hours (does not include, AP, IB, dual-enrollment credit achieved in high school).
3. At least a 2.5 minimum, cumulative, grade point average for Panhellenic, MGC & NPHC organizations and at least a minimum 2.75 for Interfraternity Council fraternities. (Transfer GPAs cannot be combined – only the most recent college GPA received will be considered).
4. The on-line education course prior to formally accepting a bid of membership.
5. Student eligibility will be verified through the Cliff Alexander Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life prior to the chapter extending any form of invitation to membership. Only transcripts from the most recent institution attended will be considered.
6. Once membership has been gained to a fraternity or sorority, it is up to each chapter to determine an individual’s requirements to maintain membership.

All first year women who join a sorority are required to live in the sorority corridor during their second year and must sign an on-campus housing agreement to facilitate that.

Thinking about what you need to wear should not be stressful. We encourage everyone that participates in recruitment to wear whatever they feel the most comfortable and confident in! Check out Panhellenic's website and Instagram page for ideas on what you should wear for all four rounds of recruitment.

Recommendations are letters and forms regarding a potential new member that are sent to a sorority chapter before recruitment begins. These letters are used to learn more about a potential new member, with a focus on her high school activities and hometown involvement. Recommendations are typically written by an alumna member of the sorority receiving the missive.

Recommendation letters are not required to participate in women's recruitment at Miami University. Every sorority has a slightly different recommendation process. We encourage anyone interested in writing a letter of recommendation for a Potential New Member to check out each sorority’s national headquarters web site to learn more about the recommendation process and where to send forms and letters. You can find each chapter's letter of recommendation information on Panhellenic's website.

Physical recommendation letters are typically mailed to the chapter’s recruitment chair or advisor (a sorority alumna who helps the chapter with recruitment). If you are unable to find a local contact, recommendations can be mailed to the Cliff Alexander Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at Miami University. Please address the envelope as follows:

ATTN: Recruitment Chair
**Sorority Name**
2029 Armstrong Student Center
Miami University

There is no deadline for submitting recommendations but sending as early as possible will give chapters time to review all recommendations before recruitment starts in February.
