Our chapters, your story

Our community is actively growing. For a full list of all of our active chapters visit https://www.boisestate.edu/getinvolved/fraternities-and-sororities/chapters/.

Your first step is to fill out our community’s interest form. The next steps will be shared about the recruitment process from a member of the community.

As with membership in most organizations, fraternities and sororities charge membership fees. It’s entirely fair to ask for a written breakdown of membership costs and the chapter’s budget before you join. It’s also important to ask about any added costs.

• Interfraternal Organizations: Average chapter dues are $455 per semester for new members and $400 per semester for active members.
• Multicultural Organizations: Average chapter dues are $330 per semester for new members and $225 per semester for active members.
• Panhellenic Organizations: Average chapter dues are $740 per semester for new members and $440 per semester for active members.

It costs $35 to participate in Panhellenic formal recruitment and $10 to participate in Interfraternity recruitment. There is no cost to participate in the Multicultural Greek Council recruitment process.

Registration for fall Panhellenic recruitment typically opens in June and remains open through the end of August.  Formal recruitment usually takes place over Labor Day weekend. To learn more about the recruitment process and schedule visit our Sorority Recruitment page.

Registration for fall fraternity recruitment typically opens in June and will remain through September. Formal recruitment usually takes place within the first month of the fall semester. To learn more about the recruitment process visit our Fraternity Recruitment page. 

The intake process for Multicultural Chapters varies by organization. To learn more about their recruitment processes visit our Multicultural Chapters page.

Boise State does not hold formal recruitment/intake process in the spring. However, there are always sororities and fraternities participating in informal recruitment processes. If you are interested in joining a chapter outside of the fall recruitment/intake period fill out the Fraternity/Sorority Interest Form and a member of the community will reach out to you. 

All Boise State students are eligible to participate in the recruitment process. Additional requirements such as course load and GPA may exist for some organizations. Transfer, non-traditional, and international students are all eligible to participate in the recruitment process.

Boise State does not have a Greek Row, but members still find themselves living together in rental homes close to campus. We recommend incoming students take advantage of our on-campus housing options in their first year. For more information, please visit https://www.boisestate.edu/housing/. 

Boise State’s chapters have lower membership dues on average due to the absence of chapter house expenses. Instead of meeting in individual houses, chapters meet and hold events in community spaces on campus such as the Student Union Building. This contributes to a strong sense of community among our organizations.

To start the process of exploring the possibility of starting a new chapter at Boise State please reach out to the Student Involvement office at getinvolved@boisestate.edu to express your interest and learn about the process.
