Guide to Going Greek
This is a guide to help you learn more about the specific details on joining the CSUMB Greek community. Please email greeklife@csumb.edu if you have additional questions. We look forward to you joining our CSUMB Greek community!
Step 1: Join Our Email List
Stay up-to-date with CSUMB greeks with monthly emails about upcoming events and important dates by filling out our CSUMB Greek Life Interest Form.
Step 2: Meet the Greeks
Every semester, each fraternity and sorority table at Meet the Greeks. This is a chance for students who are interested in Greek Life to meet all Greek organizations on campus to find out more about each organization, what they do, and what they stand for. This is a great way to meet their members and get more information about their recruitment/intake events.
Step 3: Attend Your Favorite Organization's Events
There is no minimum or maximum number of fraternity/sorority hosted events that you are required to attend. You can attend events hosted by any organization. We highly encourage you to meet as many organizations as possible to ensure you find your best fit. If you can't attend an event, contact the chapter president to express your interest and request more information.
Intake / Recruitment Events
From February 4 to February 22, each organization will host a series of recruitment events that are open and free to all CSUMB undergraduate students. View the Multicultural Greek Council Google Calendar (below) or email the chapter president directly for additional information.
Step 4: Ask About Requirements
Each fraternity and sorority has different requirements for joining their brother/sisterhood. They will inform you of these requirements during their events. These requirements usually include a GPA above a 2.5, minimum service hours, involvement on campus, and annual chapter dues.
Step 5: Enroll in iLearn Course
All prospective new members MUST complete this 30 minute iLearn course before they can begin the new member education process. Click on the button below to enroll. You must be a CSUMB student to have access to iLearn.
Step 6: Be Your Authentic Self!
Joining a fraternity or sorority is an important decision because these potential brothers/sisters will be your lifelong CSUMB family. If you don't feel a connection with one group, try another to ensure that the organization is right for you.
