How to Join
All students, regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin, who are interested in Greek Life are welcome. Read the Guide to Going Greek (below) for the specific details on joining the CSUMB Greek community. Please email greeklife@csumb.edu if you have additional questions. We look forward to you joining our CSUMB Greek community!
- Join our email list. Stay up-to-date with CSUMB Greeks with monthly emails about upcoming events and important dates.
- Meet all the organizations. At the start of the semester, during the Greek Showcase, fraternity and sorority members will be tabling on the Main Quad. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet their members and learn more about their recruitment and intake events.
- Attend a Greek Life Informational. Attending a Greek Life informational hosted by the United Sorority and Fraternity Council is required and vital for aspiring students to understand what commitments and expectations are placed on them when going Greek.
- Attend your favorite organizations' events. There is no minimum or maximum number of fraternity/sorority hosted events that you are required to attend. You can attend events hosted by one sorority or attend events hosted by all nine sororities. We highly encourage you to meet as many organizations as possible to ensure you find your best fit. If you can't attend an event, contact the chapter president to express your interest and request more information.
- Ask each organization about their requirements. Each fraternity and sorority has different requirements for joining their brother/sisterhood. They will inform you of these requirements during their events. These requirements usually include a GPA above a 2.5, minimum service hours, involvement on campus, and annual chapter dues.
- Be your authentic self! Joining a fraternity or sorority is an important decision because these potential brothers/sisters will be your lifelong CSUMB family. If you don't feel a connection with one group, try another to ensure that the organization is right for you.
Beginning the third week of the Fall 2025 semester, each active and recognized organization will host a series of recruitment events that are open and free to all CSUMB undergraduate students.
We are very excited that your student is interested in joining CSUMB's Greek Community! This is an amazing opportunity for your student to get involved, develop leadership skills, and build a network of support. Stay tuned for more information. Please contact Dr. Denise Tambasco at dtambasco@csumb.edu for more information.
