What is rush, recruitment or intake?


Chapters on UCF’s campus practice either recruitment or intake. There are two forms of recruitment: primary and informal.

Interfraternity Council (IFC) holds informal recruitment at the beginning of each fall and spring semester. IFC manages the marketing but each chapter holds their own events.

Panhellenic usually holds primary recruitment prior to the beginning of the fall semester each year. This formal processes allows you to explore the full range of student organizations and activities within the council. Some Panhellenic chapters may also take part in informal recruitment in the spring semesters.

The membership intake process for National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) and Diversified Greek Council (DGC) organizations occurs throughout the year at the discretion of each organization.

If you’re interested in joining a NPHC or DGC organizations, visit their web sites and read historical documents about each group prior to contacting the respected organization.
