I suspect that most IFC chapters at UNL have already held their spring rush events and most likely filled their spring pledge classes. However, some chapters may still be looking for members. As such, contact the UNL Greek Life office and let them know your interest. But I wouldn’t count on that many chapters, if any, looking for members at this time.
Even if that is the case, most of, if not all of, the UNL fraternities have their main rush events during the summer. The bulk of the fall pledge classes are formed from these summer events so contacting the Greek Life office now should get you on the list for this summer’s rush events.
You mentioned that you have lived in the U.S. for most of your life. Was that in or near Nebraska? Most UNL chapters are made up of men from Nebraska and the surrounding states. This is mainly due to summer rush events being held in state and in a few nearby out of state cities. But a kind of “formal” rush is held at the start of the fall semester as well. So if you are unable to attend the summer rush events, then you may still attend events once the fall semester starts.
In the meantime, do you know any members of any of the chapters? If so, talk to them not only about their chapter, but your general interest in joining a fraternity. If you feel comfortable doing so, ask your friends the same questions you are asking here. Of if you know any sorority women, ask them as well. They would have a better idea as to what the chapters demographics might be.
Best of luck.
