Recruitment is the new member selection process that occurs in conjunction with the entire cooperative system. Recruitment takes place during two weekends at the beginning of second semester. In the course of recruitment, you will have the opportunity to visit each of the houses in the cooperative system, learn more about the system as a whole, and interview at the house or houses in which you are interested.

Following recruitment, houses send out bids to recruitees. If you receive a bid from Fairway and accept it, you are a member of our next year's pledge class!

Pledgeship is the process by which the pledge class learns about Fairway, our purposes and history, and the men in the house. In pledgeship, we focus on devotion to God and brothers, love for the house, development of self-discipline, and strengthening of character. Your pledge semester is a special time of growth and incomparable memories, marked by true friendships. Pledgeship begins when you move into the house and lasts no longer than the first eight weeks of the first semester.
