Joining a Fraternity or Sorority
Fraternities and sororities select their members through a recruitment process, sometimes referred to as "rush." The membership selection process for the African-American-based organizations is called intake. By University and council policies, the recruitment process is alcohol-free.
To join students must be regularly enrolled in classes at Carnegie Mellon University and are required to be in good academic standing (not on academic probation). Individual organizations have minimum grade point average requirements, ranging from a 2.0 to 2.5 cumulative college grade point average for continuing or transfer students, or a high school cumulative grade point average of 2.60 to 2.80 for new freshmen.
