For Greek Alumni and Professionals:

  • Greek alumni and professionals are encouraged to participate in one of two ways:
    • As an Employer: Represent your company or organization and connect with students looking for internships or full-time roles. Tables will be provided for your organization to share opportunities and materials.
    • As a Mentor: If you’re not currently hiring, consider attending simply to offer career advice, answer questions, and support students navigating the early stages of their career journey.
    • You do not have to be a Greek-affiliated alum to attend either event. However, if the attending representative is not affiliated with Greek life, we ask that your company’s primary recruiter, department lead, or organizational contact be a Greek alum, as this event is designed to showcase the shared impact and values of Greek membership across generations and industries.
