Reach out to chapters, meet members, explore options
Fraternities use an informal mutual selection process to recruit members for their chapter. This process is 365 days a year and it allows students to really narrow down the fraternity they feel they fit best with. Chapters may host recruitment events such as barbecues, sporting events, and dinners either in Manhattan or a place near your hometown. Interested in specific organizations? You're welcome to reach out to them to show your interest and inquire about upcoming recruitment event opportunities.
Be extended and accept a bid
A bid is a formal invitation to join a fraternity that may be extended physically (letter, email) or verbally (in person, over the phone).
Throughout this year, recruitment chairmen will be extending invitations to join their fraternity. The chapter will provide a bid card with your name on it, ensuring your spot in their chapter for the fall 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.
Submit you New Member Verification Form
Already accepted a bid from a fraternity chapter? Congratulations, lets make it official! Please complete this New Member Verification Form as soon as possible, or within 48 hours of accepting your fraternity bid.
This form is required for all fraternity new members.
Submit Housing Exemption
for students living in a fraternity during their freshmen year
K-State has a first-year residence requirement so all first-year (freshmen) students live on campus in the dorms. Fraternity housing is an exemption option for this requirment.
If you have joined a fraternity with a house that you'll be living in instead of a K-State dorm, you must complete the housing exemption form from K-State Housing indicating you'll be living in alternative community housing.
