RECRUITMENT
Great Chapters Are Built From Great Recruitment

Becoming a Member
The future of our fraternity is determined by the quality of men we recruit each year. The success of our fraternity on campus is a by-product of the level of excellence we uphold in our chapter and brothers. Our chapter takes great pride in recruitment and puts forth a tireless effort to initiate the best men at Clemson University. Our recruitment process consists of four main steps: 1) Rush, 2) Bidding, 3) Pledging, and 4) Initiation. The rush period lasts from early Spring up to IFC Formal Recruitment in September. The chapter holds various recruitment events over the summer and beginning of the semester to introduce PNMs to the fraternity, chapter, and brothers. During this time the chapter evaluates Potential New Members (PNMs) to determine if they are a good fit for our chapter and if our chapter is a good fit for them.
Recruitment chairmen and brothers will reach out to identified PNMs and invite them to recruitment events. If you would like to be considered, please fill out the PNM Profile and contact one of our recruitment chairmen.
What Do We Look For During Recruitment?
Friendship. Knowledge. Service. Morality. Excellence.
Our chapter recruits men not merely looking for a better social life, but earnestly seeking to improve themselves. We seek to recruit men who show a certain set of attributes, but especially those who are hardworking, committed, academically responsible, socially well-rounded, and respected among others. Our brothers are held to a high standard and we look to continue our pursuit of excellence by extending bids to men who are committed to those standards.
