Joining an honors fraternity is an excellent way to form lasting friendships and get involved in the campus community. Fraternities are founded on core principles such as scholarship, leadership, service, character, fellowship. Furthermore, some honors fraternities have a particular focus such as agriculture or textiles, engineering, or business. Most honors fraternities are national organizations with chapters located on campuses across the nation. They provide opportunities to enhance your college experience and beyond. Many fraternities have national conferences, allowing you to travel and network with other members of the fraternity all around the country. Most have a new member education period or "pledge" period each semester. Usually there are GPA requirements for eligibility to join, and most honors fraternities contact you by email or snail-mail to inform you of your eligibility and dates to "rush". Rush simply is an opportunity to meet the members, learn about the organization, and see if you think you may be interested in joining. Some honors fraternities are co-ed, while others may be restricted to a certain sex.
