Joining a Fraternity at UNI

Incoming students can join a fraternity at UNI as soon as they are registered for classes. Returning students are able to join at any point in the year. The best way to get connected to fraternity life on campus is to submit the Fraternity Life Interest Form, connect with a chapter on Instagram, or contact Josh Farris at josh.farris@uni.edu.

Chapters are continuously recruiting throughout the academic year. Learn more about the informal process and submit an interest form to send your information to each fraternity chapter!

Informal Recruitment Information

Chapters continually recruit throughout the fall and spring semesters. Submit the form below to provide your contact and involvement information to all chapter recruitment chairmen. If you are interested in specific chapters, consider reaching out to their recruitment chairmen through email or text. From there, you may be asked to visit with chapter members, attend a fall recruitment event, or have dinner with the men. All fraternity chapter recruitment is required to be alcohol-free. If you have questions about your recruitment experience or what your next step should be, contact the Office of Student Involvement at involvement@uni.edu.

If you have recently received a bid from one of the UNI fraternities, congratulations! Throughout this fall and spring, recruitment chairmen will be extending invitations to join their fraternity. This invitation is often called a bid and may be verbally extended or in a written communication (email, letter, etc.). The chapter will provide a bid card with your name on it, ensuring your spot in their chapter for the upcoming semester. This is what binds you to their chapter and is an official document. Chapters with facilities may also give you a housing contract to complete.
