There is a cost of $55 – this pays for all administrative expenses during recruitment.  We keep the cost as low as possible and only to pay for expenses incurred through recruitment.

Recommendation letters, while encouraged, are not required to participate in sorority recruitment. Please send to the individual chapter addresses (available in the Greek Recruitment Booklet) or mailed to:

The deadline to register for 2025 Fall Sorority Recruitment is Friday, August 1st at NOON Central Time (12:00 PM CST). We need this deadline so the Greek office can effectively have time to communicate with Housing and Residence Life regarding move-in for potential new members.

We have 4 Early Arrival Meal Plan options created with you in mind so you can eat when and how you want.  These meal options can feed you until your M.A.S.T.E.R. Plan meals begin or your Fall 2025 Meal Plan begins. 

• Sign up on TopNet following the steps outlined below.
• Log into TopNet – Main Menu – Early Arrival Meal Plan Reservation and Payment (on main menu page)
• Choose Fall 2025 term then submit
• Choose your Meal Plan options
• Pay using your credit card
• It’s THAT easy!

All incoming residential freshman must attend M.A.S.T.E.R Plan in order to participate in formal sorority recruitment.

Sorority Recruitment will occur before M.A.S.T.E.R.Plan.  This will enable incoming freshman women to easily do both programs!

There is not an extra charge to move in early – this is something that we’ve communicated with Housing & Residence Life.

Green Zone = Your options are not likely limited based on your GPA. (3.50+)

Yellow Zone = Your options are more likely to be limited by your GPA. (3.0 – 3.49)

Red Zone = Your options are very likely to be limited based on GPA. (2.99 and below)

To participate in sorority recruitment, you must be a regularly enrolled, full-time WKU student.  For those with less than 12 attempted college hours, one must have at least a 2.5 high school unweighted GPA.  For those with 12 or more college attempted hours, one must have at least a 2.5 college cumulative GPA. As you’re looking at your membership options, please keep in mind that some chapters may have higher GPA requirements for membership. FYI that summer scholars only take 6 hours, thus, we would use high school unweighted GPA to see if that person meets the GPA requirement.  Only in the case where a person has 12 or more college attempted hours would we use college cumulative GPA

We use unweighted GPA’s for sorority recruitment. We use the GPA listed in the WKU system software unless an updated transcript proves otherwise.

You do not have to submit your transcript, however, we highly encourage that you do submit your transcript.  This leaves zero doubt what your incoming GPA is.  Those who do not submit a transcript, we will use the grades in WKU’s Banner software system.

Once you have 12 or more graded college hours, we use your college grades.  You may still put your high school grades in the recruitment form, however, college grades are used starting at 12 or more graded college hours. This includes all grades from prior institutions, dual credit classes where you received college credit, etc.  We will use whatever WKU TopNet shows as your college GPA unless an updated transcript proves otherwise.
