Intake Orientation
Registration Information
Attendance at an Intake Orientation is required for anyone interested in participating in CGC membership intake. This program is designed to educate potential members on the following:
- The history of each organization within the council
- The history and purpose of the Cultural Greek Council
- Federal, state, and university anti-hazing laws and policies
You are only required to attend one session per academic year. If you attend an Intake Orientation in Fall 2025, you will not need to attend again in Spring 2026 to join an organization.
Fall Intake Orientation Dates

- September 10
- Be in good academic standing
- Meet individual organization GPA and other requirements
- Have attended an Intake Orientation session within the last academic year in which membership is pursued
- Some organizations will require at least one semester of college credit. Please reach out to the president of the chapter of interest for more details.
Organizations will determine which semester they will host intake. Each organization usually hosts intake for both the fall and spring semesters but be sure to follow-up with chapter of your interest.
