Recruitment, which occurs at the beginning of the spring semester, is an intensive week-long series of structured events that you will attend in order to meet and converse with sorority members. As recruitment progresses, the events become fewer and the time spent at each sorority becomes longer. Through a process of mutual selection, we hope you will return to the sororities where you feel most comfortable and with those that are interested in having you as a member. A $25 fee ($35 after the preferred registration deadline) is charged to participate in recruitment; this fee covers all of your materials for recruitment.

During the one-week recruitment process, you will be guided by your recruitment guide, or rho gamma. She will be with you every step of the way, and you should contact her with any problems or questions you may have. Your rho gamma will only give you her first name because she is temporarily disaffiliated from her chapter during the recruitment period, meaning that she has no input in the recruitment process of her organization. Each rho gamma acts as a representative of the Panhellenic community, not as an individual member of her chapter. This means you can feel comfortable talking to your rho gamma about any chapter you visit because everything you say will be kept in strict confidence and will not affect where you end up. All rho gammas sign contracts confirming their commitment to this agreement.

You will receive a recruitment booklet at your orientation session at the end of the fall semester. It is a reference guide that contains a lot of important information about the recruitment process.
