We’ve all been there — whether you’re trying to promote something, build a network, or just get in touch with student leaders, frat members are often at the center of campus life. But here’s the deal: collecting a lead list of fraternity members isn’t something you can do randomly. You need to do it smartly, ethically, and without crossing any lines.
In this blog, we’re going to share how we do it. We’ve worked on a lot of outreach projects, and this is our real experience — what works, what doesn’t, and how you can build a clean and targeted list without breaking any rules.
Why Frat Members Matter for Outreach?
Let’s start with this: frat members aren’t just “party people” like most people assume. They’re often involved in leadership, fundraising, business clubs, charity drives, and campus politics. That makes them a strong audience for:
- Product marketing (especially lifestyle brands)
- Event invitations
- Networking opportunities
- College ambassador programs
- Niche campaigns (like fitness, fashion, or tech)
We do this all the time — and when it’s done right, the results are actually impressive.

How to Get a Lead List of Frat Members? Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Check the University Chapter Pages
This is where we always begin. Most major fraternities have chapter websites, and universities often give them a page on the school’s domain.
Here’s what you’ll find:
- A list of active members or leadership team
- Email addresses (sometimes public, sometimes just a chapter email)
- Links to social media pages
- Info about upcoming events (which you can attend or research)
Let’s say you’re looking for Sigma Chi at the University of Georgia. Just Google:
“Sigma Chi University of Georgia chapter site”
In most cases, you’ll land on a public page with names, officer roles, or contact forms.
Step 2: Use LinkedIn (Our Favorite Trick)
We’ve used this method so many times. Just go to LinkedIn and type something like:
“Alpha Tau Omega” AND “University of Florida”
Then filter by “People” or “Education.” What you get is a clean list of current and former frat members. Most people mention their fraternity on their profile because it adds to their leadership background.
From there, you can:
- Save their names
- See their job title (great if you’re doing career-based outreach)
- Add them to your networking or outreach doc
This is one of the cleanest ways to build a real lead list of frat members without digging through messy or unreliable data.
Step 3: Explore Social Media Platforms
Let’s be honest — college students live on Instagram and TikTok. So do frat chapters.
Go to Instagram and search:
- @sigmachiuf
- @deltatau_delta_nyu
- #GreekLifeYourUniversity
What you’ll see:
- Group photos with tags
- Shoutouts for birthdays, achievements, and new pledges
- Highlights from events (which often list names)
We usually save the usernames or display names and create a list manually. It takes time, but the results are solid — and you’re getting real people, not just scraped emails.
Step 4: Use University Yearbooks or Newspapers
You might think this is old-school, but trust us — it works.
Here’s how we do it:
- Search the school name + “digital yearbook” or “student newspaper”
- Look for issues that mention “Greek Week,” “Rush Week,” or “New Members”
- You’ll usually see names listed in articles or even team photos with labels
This is gold for outreach. We once pulled 150 frat names from one university’s PDF yearbook in under 2 hours. Worth it.
Step 5: Fraternity National Websites
You may not know this, but national frats like Kappa Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, and others have full member directories or at least lists of all their chapters.
Here’s what to look for:
- “Alumni Directory” (some require logins, but some are open)
- Chapter Reports (PDF newsletters or annual reports)
- Executive Contacts (often public for each chapter)
You can also sometimes find sponsorship contacts here if you’re planning a brand partnership or student event.
Step 6: Events and Conferences
Fraternities host regular:
- Leadership conferences
- Philanthropy events
- Greek Week competitions
- Alumni meetups
We usually check the fraternity’s national site or their Instagram to find events like “Sigma Chi Leadership Summit 2025.” Then we either:
- Attend virtually or in-person
- Follow their coverage
- Find speaker and award recipient names
These are often the most active and influential members — exactly who you want on your lead list.
Ethical Tip: Don’t Be Weird About It
This is important.
Just because names are public doesn’t mean you should spam them. We always keep our outreach friendly, respectful, and value-driven.
For example, if you’re inviting frat members to an event:
- Mention how you found them
- Be clear about what’s in it for them
- Don’t use sketchy marketing tactics
Nobody likes to feel like they’re on a “list.” Make it personal. That’s what we do, and it works.
Our Go-To Format for a Frat Lead List
You don’t need fancy tools. We keep it simple using Google Sheets. Here’s our usual format:
| Name | Fraternity | University | Email / Social | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jake R. | Sigma Chi | Michigan State | @jake_sigma | VP Events, Active member |
| Chris W. | ATO | Texas A&M | chris@email.com | Interested in fitness gear |
| Marcus L. | DTD | Indiana University | @marcus_lives | President, Business major |
Build it slowly, keep it accurate, and update it often. That’s how we maintain quality.
Final Thoughts
Getting a list of frat members isn’t as hard as people think — you just need to know where to look. We’ve been doing this for years, and our advice is simple: stay ethical, stay relevant, and always offer value in your outreach.
If you’re reading this to grow your brand, plan an event, or build a student ambassador team — start with one university. Test your approach. Then expand. That’s what we do, and it works every time.
So yes, you can get a frat lead list — just don’t make it weird.
