New Member Education

At the conclusion of New Member Recruitment, a particular chapter may offer a "bid" (an invitation to join the chapter) to your student. If your student accepts the bid, he/she will become a "new member" or "associate member" of that chapter. New Member Education activities are developed to bring the new members closer to the members of the chapter. Chapter history, songs, values and philanthropic activities are all part of the educational process. New members can expect to participate in meetings, study sessions, campus programs, community service projects and other chapter activities.

The WPI or Greek community does not tolerate hazing. Any chapter found participating in such activities will be held accountable for their actions. Please review WPI's Anti-Hazing Policy for more details. Parents of Greeks are strongly encouraged to contact the Greek Advisor with any concern or questions they may have about their student in particular or a chapter as a whole. New Member Education should be a positive experience that upon completion has prepared a student to be an active leader within their fraternity or sorority and on campus.
