MEN’S RECRUITMENT
SPRING 2016
ΦΔΘ ΦΚΨ
WELCOME
On behalf of the Inter-Fraternity Council and the Creighton
Greek Community, I would like to welcome you to Formal
Recruitment 2016!
I am so excited to share with you one of my favorite parts of
Creighton! During the last four years, Greek life has given
me an opportunity to experience service and leadership,
make wonderful memories, and meet phenomenal men who
I am honored to call my brothers!
Being a Creighton Greek member means much more than
meets the eye. A Creighton Greek is a part of a community
that exists to serve others, with countless opportunities for
service and philanthropy that benefit both local and national
organizations. Greeks at Creighton are truly dedicated to
service. Being a Greek at Creighton means forming lifelong
friendships. There are also countless opportunities for leadership and personal growth. Joining the Creighton Greek
community means developing into a mature and respectful
man, becoming part of a family, forming a bond of brotherhood that will last a lifetime.
Recruitment is a wonderful introduction to the Creighton
Greek community. I encourage you to go into the process
with an open mind, ready to make new friends and discover
which organization fits YOU, an organization in which you
can be your true self and challenges you to be your best. If
you have any questions throughout the process, feel free to
talk with myself, Margaret Zimmer, or any of the IFC executive council. We are here for you as you discover what
Creighton Greek Life is all about!
