  Recruitment offers an opportunity to meet chapter members and peers while learning what each chapter has to offer. Throughout the process, council ambassadors/recruitment guides of Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils will answer all questions that may arise while participating in recruitment. Participating in the recruitment process does not require a person to join a chapter but does provide them an opportunity to explore and learn about the campus and FIU Greek Life.
