Formal Recruitment - Clubs & Organizations

Informal Recruitment

(Begins Fall 2024)

Informal recruitment is continuous open bidding. Continuous Open Bidding (COB) is an informal process that sororities and fraternities use to take in new members. Formal recruitment will occur in Spring 2025. COB is where the chapters of CSUCI hold their own informal events to get to know potential new members better. Each chapter does it differently.

lifelong connections. Not only did Greek life offer this, but it opened my eyes to a
whole world of unique cultures and perspectives."

"[Greek life] has changed my experience at CI in a positive and inspiring way. I did not have the best semester my freshman year and [my chapter] changed that for me. It helped me grow and become more confident and it gave me a support system of people who inspire me every single day!"
