Panhellenic Association Recruitment Process
The fall recruitment process for the sororities (Alpha Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Kappa Kappa Gamma) is more structured. Registration is required and a $10 fee is required. To avoid conflicts with classes, recruitment events are held in the evenings and on weekend days. Participants attend events at all participating chapters on Thursday and Friday night and Saturday and Sunday. Recruitment is a mutual selection process. After Friday's events, potential members rank their preferences and the sororities submit invitation lists. On Friday, each potential new member will be scheduled to attend to up to four events. The process repeats and on Saturday, each potential new member will be scheduled to attend to up to three events. The final invitational event is held on Sunday, with two Preference Parties which are more formal in nature.
After the Preference Parties, potential new members rank their choices and the sororities submit a preference list. To promote equity in the recruitment process, each sorority is permitted to only accept a maximum number of women, so a "bid matching" process determines which sorority each participant will join. Most participants are pledged to the chapter they list as their first choice after the Preference Parties.
