Fraternity Recruitment Successful Recruitment by a College Fraternity “Recruitment is the single most important chapter activity for every member… It seems to be self-evident – men who join your chapter affect your life, who needs motivation on the importance of recruitment.” – Bill Tragos, Sigma Phi Epsilon Class of 1956 (Washington University, Missouri Beta) Introduction Fraternities are in existence for a reason, and have been for over a century. Millions have passed through the system of Greek life and have benefited because of doing so. Many influential people have been part of a fraternity: all presidents but two since 1980 were Greek, 85% of congressmen were Greek, etc. The question is, how is it that Greek fraternities attract such outstanding individuals. What Causes One to Be Interested in Going Greek' There are a plethora of reasons for one to rush a fraternity. The common myths and sayings such as, “I don’t have to buy my friends,” “All you guys do is drink,” “I don’t want to get paddled,” no longer apply in today’s college society. The reasons people pledged in the past, and the current reasons differ greatly.
