Greek Recruitment

Many Nebraska Wesleyan alumni consider their Greek experience to be one of the most enjoyable memories from their time at NWU. Currently there are over 300 students in the Greek community—that’s over 18% of the traditional undergraduate student population.

Joining a Greek fraternity or sorority at Nebraska Wesleyan University opens you to new friendships, leadership and service opportunities, academic success and a richer college experience. As a whole, Nebraska Wesleyan's Greek members earn higher GPAs, are more involved on campus and within the Lincoln community, and hold leadership positions in various campus organizations. Each fraternity and sorority sets their own minimum grade point average to be eligible for membership.

Fraternity Recruitment

Each fall, the Interfraternity Council hosts informational events, and each chapter hosts recruitment events. All recruitment events and chapter facilities are alcohol free.

The best way to know whether a chapter is right for you is to check out all of the fraternities NWU has to offer. Follow us on Instagram to learn more about fraternity life at NWU.

Sorority Recruitment

Fall Formal Recruitment
Fall formal recruitment occurs prior to the beginning of classes. Interested women fill out an online application and attend an educational session about the recruitment process. Over three days, women visit each chapter and meet the members. Recruitment counselors will assist and answer any questions that women may have.

Nebraska Wesleyan sororities use a mutual selection recruitment process. Women choose the chapter that they are most interested in while the chapters in turn also choose what women they would be interested in extending a bid of membership.

It takes some time for you to meet all the amazing women in our chapters, so we recommend that you clear your schedules of work or other outside commitments during the evenings of August 22-24, 2024. You are required to attend all recruitment rounds in order to complete the recruitment process.

Following recruitment, women are extended invitations to join sororities and attend chapter Bid Day celebratory activities. All recruitment events and chapter facilities are alcohol free.
