Sigma Phi Lambda organizes its own recruitment process each semester, which is usually about one week long. Each potential new member will be asked about their spiritual journey during the recruitment process. Women invited to membership are considered new members and become active members after one semester.
Beta Upsilon Chi hosts recruitment events for the first couple weeks of the semester. From these events, "bids" will be given to begin the initiation process.

Fraternity and Sorority Life Fee
Many of the resources provided to chapter and individual members of the fraternity and sorority community are made possible through the Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) Fee. This fee is assessed similarly to other student fees, such as lab fees, through the student’s online tuition bill each semester. The FSL Fee, which shows up as “Greek Fee,” is first assessed the semester a student joins a chapter and continues each semester of their membership. The FSL Fee assessed to individual members of the United Greek Council is $30 per semester.
