Does every woman participating in Recruitment receive a bid?

Recruitment is a process of mutual selection, and as such, there are many dfferent outcomes in the process. You are not guaranteed to be offered a bid to a chapter, and you are not obligated to accept one. It is possible to go through recruitment and not pledge a sorority at the end of the week.

If I participate, am I obligated to join?

No, recruitment is a chance to explore Greek Life to learn if it is right for you. Remember, this is a mutual selection process. You are selecting a chapter just as much as they are selecting you!

If I am a legacy for a sorority, is there anything I should know?

Each potential new member is considered on an individual basis. Legacies are not obligated to join the sorority that their family member joined, and, likewise, chapters are not required to pledge a legacy.

What if I only want to join a certain sorority?

Only wanting to be in one or a few sororities limits a potential new members options in the Recruitment Process.. Don't let stereotypes or others' opinions affect your decision process.

Does GPA really matter?

Academic Excellence is a core value of Panhellenic, and all chapters have GPA minimums, many of which are above the required 2.5 GPA to participate in Recruitment. While some exceptions are made, please keep in mind that a low GPA may limit your options in Recruitment.

How many women go through Recruitment every year?

The number changes every year, but for 2017 recruitment, we expect about 400-500 to go through the process.
