What is a sorority?
A sorority is a women’s social organization, primarily for college students, that fosters friendship, community, and a sense of sisterhood. Sororities have shared values, goals, and traditions, and they offer members opportunities for personal growth, leadership development, academic excellence, and community service.
What is Primary Recruitment?
Primary recruitment is how Panhellenic sororities recruit in the Fall. It is a 3 day process where potential new members (PNMs) meet and interact with members of our sororities to
Formal recruitment in the context of fraternities and sororities is a structured, often multi-day process where potential new members (PNMs) meet and interact with members of fraternities or sororities to determine mutual interest and membership. It involves a series of rounds, typically including open houses, social events, and a preference round, culminating in Bid Day, where PNMs receive bids from fraternities or sororities they are invited to join.
What is values-based recruitment?
The Panhellenic sorority recruitment experience is rooted in values – we call this “values-based recruitment.” This type of recruitment helps our organizations and members focus on our founding values and recruit women who understand and are committed to living out the values of our organizations. This recruitment approach allows us to be more intentional in conversation, discover shared interests and values among chapter members and potential new members (PNMs) and define membership expectations and standards more clearly. It also provides PNMs an opportunity to make informed decisions through a fair and unbiased experience. That is why we want to help you find out what your values are, why they are important to you and how you can express your values to others.
