So you’ve been on your HBCU campus for a couple of months now, finally started to get in the rhythm of things, and maybe have even become interested in joining a sorority or fraternity on campus. Maybe you saw them step in the yard show or the step show, you went to an event and really enjoyed yourself, or you met some of them on the courtyard. Now what? HBCU Buzz has got you covered. Here’s what you need to know if you’re interested in joining a Divine Nine Sorority or Fraternity at an HBCU.
4. Make Yourself An Attractive Candidate
You know why you want to seek membership but why should they choose you? What makes you stand apart and what can you bring to the chapter? These are the questions you should be asking yourself and finding the answers to. At this point, you should’ve already researched the organization’s values and mission so it’s best to take part in activities that reflect that. All Divine Nine organizations require you to obtain a certain GPA, so it’s important to keep your grades up. It’s also important to partake in community service and get active on campus.
A lot of times sororities and fraternities are looking for students who display leadership on campus, so it would be good to join a non-greek organization or student group at school where you can take on a leadership role. This shows that you have certain tangible skills and experience that you can bring to the table if permitted membership into their frat or sorority.
