Joining a Fraternity or a Sorority

Throughout the college experience at John Carroll University, the friendships that our members make within their chapters lasts a lifetime. Whether you come to college not knowing a single person or you come with friends, the opportunity to be a part of a national fraternity or sorority can transcend your JCU college experience. You will gain a “home away from home” and be involved in a wide range of brotherhood and sisterhood activities.

“Joining a Greek organization was something that I had considered, so when it came time to go through recruitment my Freshman year I decided to take the chance and go for it. That was the best decision I could have made for myself. Not only have the men and women I met through Greek Life at John Carroll become my closest and most dependable friends, they encourage me to get involved in my community and are always there to make some irreplaceable memories. If you’re considering joining a Greek organization – go for it!” – Maddie Tobolewski ’20

Some other benefits include, scholarship, community service, social, and leadership. Older members encourage you and foster your growth as an individual and as a chapter member. Every chapter has a a wide alumni network to assist adjusting to new communities, finding employment, or just to offer personal friendship based on common experiences in your organization.

IFC Fall Recruitment will begin immediately after Streak Week 2019 in September!

The men of Beta Theta Pi, Delta Tau Delta, Lambda Chi Alpha, and Sigma Phi Epsilon are thrilled that you are interested in joining our great community. The friendships and Brothers you make in a Fraternity will last your entire lifetime. Each chapter participates in a broad range of activities from philanthropy to brotherhood events to formals and date dances. Fraternity life fosters individual growth and leadership, and each chapter has a large alumni network that assists with finding employment, personal connections, or friendship based on a shared common experience.

Each New Member must register for recruitment here. All incoming freshmen are encouraged to apply for scholarships, given by the chapters. Applying and/or accepting a scholarship from a Greek organization does not bind you to join that organization, nor any other organization.
