Fraternity and Sorority Recruitment
Fraternity or sorority life offers a unique opportunity to join a community of leaders that has flourished on campus since 1855.
When you join a fraternity or sorority, you commit to being a leader and scholar at Bucknell and within the Lewisburg community.
Because Bucknell University strives for an enriched college experience, the University enacted a sophomore-year deferred-recruitment process for the entire Greek community.
This year of deferment allows first-year students to explore their academic field and foster meaningful connections on campus. The one-year deferment also allows potential new members to make a more informed decision about whether Greek life is the best choice for their Bucknell experience.
Eligibility Requirements
Sophomore year or later
2.5 cumulative GPA or higher*
A student is ineligible to participate in recruitment if they are currently on a conduct status of disciplinary probation or greater
*Each chapter’s GPA requirements vary. Please see the sorority recruitment booklet for more information.
