Send Us Your Recruitment Referrals
D
uring the 1970s, the university provided lists of all incoming freshmen starting in
January. The chapter sent bulk rate mail to more than 5,000 men every spring with
business reply cards. Recruiting adequate numbers of new members was facilitated by
those lists.
Today, those interested in Greek recruiting must sign up
with the university and must have graduated high school
with a 2.8 GPA. No fraternity gets access to these interested
students until classes start. Fraternities like Fiji and Sigma
Chi recruit exclusively from alumni referrals. Those
chapters don't even participate in fall or spring recruiting.
Beta Alpha is not advised to work strictly from alumni
referrals alone and will always participate in IFC recruiting.
That said, as you might assume, the best candidates for
Fraternity membership are those who are recommended by
alumni. We assure you that the recruiting team will thank
you for referrals and will keep you posted on their status.
Please submit recommendations to Mason Kruse '25 at
maakruse@iu.edu and copy Ken Glass '76 at
