Membership Intake Guidelines - MGC/NPHC
The Multicultural Greek Council and National Pan-Hellenic Council chapters conduct the membership selection process, known as Intake or Rush, at the individual chapter level. Each chapter hosts their own informational sessions and interest meetings to connect with potential aspirants and provide them with any necessary paperwork prior to interview and selection processes. All chapters planning to conduct membership intake must complete the Membership Intake Intent Form prior to hosting interest/informational meetings. The form must be approved by the council advisor prior to beginning any intake activities. Please contact Brianna Joseph, Assistant Director - Fraternity & Sorority Life, for further details regarding the Guidelines for Membership Intake. Once approved for membership intake, chapters must also submit a timeline for membership intake activities and a list of aspirants to Fraternity and Sorority Life by the deadlines set each semester.
Intake may start on the first day of classes for each Fall/Spring Semester (provided the chapter has submitted both the Intake Intent Form and the Membership Intake Timeline Form). The Intake process should conclude in the same semester in which it begins.
