Freshman students are eligible to receive a bid in the Spring when they meet these requirements. The deadline to register for recruitment is February 3rd.

MANDATORY EDG (Effectively Developing Greeks)

This education module is MANDATORY for anyone going through the recruitment process. In order to access EDG, you will need to log into Connect just as you log into your email.
EDG Link
YOU MUST COMPLETE THIS MODULE TO RECEIVE A BID! YOU MUST ALSO REGISTER BEFORE FEBRUARY 3rd TO BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A BID.
(If you have questions please e-mail Vincent Phillips at Vincent_Phillips@baylor.edu)
ICS Registration
The second step to successfully registering for recruitment is to complete the ICS form. This allows your information to be captured and your completion status to be tracked. This also allows for your eligibility status to be shared with your desired organization. You will receive emails on your status accordingly. At the end of the form, you will be taken to the payment link.
Appeal Process
Students who do not meet the academic and/or credit hours requirement have the option to appeal to the Department of Student Activities. All appeals will be reviewed and responded to before bid day. The link to appeal is located below. The last day to appeal is February 3rd. Appeals submitted after February 3rd will not be accepted. In order to access the Appeal form you must be logged into Connect.
Bid Day
Bid day is the official end of the recruitment process. This special time gives fraternity chapters a chance to celebrate and extend bids to eligible young men. Bids will be extended to eligible individuals on February 10th.
**Please note that bids are not guaranteed. So, you are strongly encouraged to meet as many chapter members as you can, including the entire recruitment process, as well as keeping an open mind.**
