Recruitment / Intake for LMU's Recognized Fraternities and Sororities
Recruitment in multicultural Greek organizations is also referred to as “intake.” The intake process for each chapter is different and occurs throughout the semester, however each group hosts information sessions where any interested students can attend. Other activities held over the course of the semester are to help educate and inform prospective members on the unique programs and opportunities that exist within those groups. LMU’s four multicultural chapters include Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., Sigma Lambda Beta Fraternity, Inc., and Sigma Lambda Gamma Sorority, Inc.
Students wishing to join a culturally-based fraternity or sorority must meet the LMU requirements to join: at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA and 12 units completed.
