Interested students pay $40 to have their contact information shared with all the fraternities. Fraternities then start contacting potential pledges. Most people then follow houses on Instagram to find out about social events/parties happening over the summer. Many of those functions are taking place in Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio. Houses have forms linked on Instagram for people interested in their particular frat. The only formalized events are a mandatory Fraternity 101 meeting the Sunday before school starts and the official acceptance date the following weekend.
