Greek Week is an annual spring semester tradition that unites all Greeks to promote community pride while engaging in meaningful community service and fun team building events. Sororities and fraternities partner together on teams to compete in activities such as a trivia bowl, athletic competitions, and a community service event.
Our culminating event is Greek Sing, a dance and lip sync competition hosted in Gammage Auditorium to raise money for Valley of the Sun United Way. Greek Week 2023 was held in April and our community raised $14,700.

On behalf of the Panhellenic Executive Council and the National Panhellenic Conference Sororities that we have represented here, I would like to welcome you to Arizona State University! We, the College Panhellenic Association, are the governing body of the NPC sororities on campus. These amazing women represent over 3,000 individuals from all different backgrounds, majors, and campuses here at ASU.
Entering college is an exciting time and there is no better way to enhance your experience here than by going Greek! Personally, being a part of a Greek organization was the best decision I have ever made. It made this huge campus seem like a close knit community, and being from out of state, I really did find my home away from home. I have made friendships that will last a lifetime, and have gotten amazing opportunities that I might not have ever known about without the Greek community. Being part of a sorority provides women with opportunities for involvement in community service, campus activities, leadership experience, and sisterhood all while still maintaining high academic standards. Each sorority at ASU has something unique to offer its members. Panhellenic women are well-rounded individuals who support one another and work towards building each other up in an inclusive and diverse community. We hope that you consider becoming a part of this wonderful ASU tradition!
If you have any questions about recruitment or fraternity and sorority life in general, please feel free to contact me at my email or at our office in the Greek Leadership Community Center.
Sincerely,
McKenna Lane

Congratulations on your student's decision to participate in ASU's 2023 Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment! They're about to begin an experience that will be full of activities and opportunities as they make new friends, create memories, and build connections on campus. They may have heard stories about some or each of the chapters, be a legacy to a sorority, or have made the decision with a best friend to join the same sorority no matter what. These situations have the potential for creating disappointment, so please let them know the importance of making decisions based on the women they meet and the conversations they have in each sorority chapter.
A recruitment participant will be the one living with the members for the next few years, and gaining sisters for life, so they should look for women they find connections with, and a place they feel comfortable.
Sororities require a financial, time, and housing commitment. Each chapter has their dues listed within this booklet. While listed, your student should still ask each sorority about these financial obligations. Though being a member of a sorority does involve a time commitment, many of our sorority women are able to maintain employment and internships, be involved in extracurricular activities, and still have an amazing sorority experience.
A portion of the Panhellenic sororities are housed in the Greek Leadership Village on the Tempe campus. Opportunities to live in the Greek Leadership Village vary by chapter and are something that your student should ask about during recruitment. In the event that your student chooses not to join a sorority or is unhappy with their experience, please be supportive. There are many other options for involvement at Arizona State University. No matter what the outcome is, they will have met many new people.
After signing up for recruitment, your student will meet some of the 2022 Recruitment Counselors. Recruitment Counselors are upperclassmen sorority women who have been selected and trained to help guide potential new members through the recruitment process. These women will temporarily disaffiliate from their organization to help provide the best experience for all the potential new members. Your student will be assigned to a group of Recruitment Counselors to go to for all recruitment questions and guidance during the recruitment process. Your student should direct any questions they have to their Recruitment Counselor. Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me; I can be reached at 480-965-6822 or bridgette.wynn@asu.edu.

Potential New Members must attend all academic classes and labs during recruitment for the duration of scheduled time.
PNMs are expected to attend all of their scheduled recruitment events throughout the duration of recruitment. PNMs may request excused absences before recruitment events occur. Otherwise, failure to communicate an explanation for recruitment absences by 12:00 PM the day of the absence may result in dismissal from recruitment. Reasons for absence can be submitted to Recruitment Counselors or directly to the Panhellenic Council via email at asu.pha.recruitmentexcuses@gmail.com.
Panhellenic Recruitment is an alcohol and substance free process. Potential New Members found under the influence of alcohol or illegal substances during recruitment activities can be dismissed from recruitment.
All participants in Panhellenic Recruitment understand the National Panhellenic Conference Unanimous Agreements which can be found on the Panhellenic Council website.
We strive to foster a safe and healthy environment for both chapter members and Potential New Members. Engaging in disrespectful behavior will result in the student’s immediate dismissal from recruitment.
An invitation to join, also known as a bid, binds a Potential New Member once she signs a MRABA. If a Potential New Member declines an invitation from a group on her MRABA, she is not eligible to pledge another sorority until the next primary recruitment period. A bid is binding for a sorority when a woman has been formally pledged by her sorority.
Before the start of recruitment, all PNMS will have to sign this agreement in order to participate in recruitment. Your assigned Rho Gamma will go over this with you and you will sign this digitally.
I will attend all Primary Recruitment Events for which I have received an invitation for each round of Primary Recruitment.
I will respect myself, other potential new members, chapter members, recruitment team members, and university staff at all times. I will refrain from making offensive comments and/or actions towards any and all of the aforementioned individuals at all times. I will communicate regularly with my sorority recruitment counselor, Rho Gamma, and if necessary, I will let her know if I decide to withdraw from the recruitment process.
I will exercise proper time management throughout the week of recruitment and understand if I miss a Primary Recruitment Event for a reason not approved by PHA, I will not be allowed to reschedule the event for which I have missed.
Once Primary Recruitment officially begins, I will refrain from communicating with chapter members or individuals affiliated with chapter members outside of Primary Recruitment Events. This includes, but is not limited to, in person conversations and/or communication via phone calls, written correspondence, text messages, Snapchats, etc. I will not make any disparaging remarks about any PHA chapter or individual member. This includes, but is not limited to, remarks made during in person conversations and/or any posts made to social media that accounts (such as Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tik Tok, Twitter, Youtube, etc. that are deemed inappropriate by PHA).

Possible dismissal from the Primary Recruitment Process. This will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis
Please note, the Arizona State College Panhellenic Council and the Arizona State University Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life reserve the right to proceed straight to dismissal from the Primary Recruitment Process, given the severity of the offense committed, which will be assessed on a case-bycase basis.
Exceptions to this document will be allowed in cases of unusual or extreme circumstances, which will be determined on a case-by-case basis. The ASU College Panhellenic Council will work to accommodate Potential New Members who are unable to attend recruitment events due to a mandated ASU academic commitment, religious observation, health or medical circumstance, family emergency, etc.
After registering, mark your calendars for Potential New Members (PNM) Orientation!

Once Primary Recruitment has started, contact outside of primary recruitment events between a PNM and sorority member is limited to formal, friendly contact. Unacceptable contact between sorority members and PNMs would include: faceto-face visits, phone calls, social media messaging, attending events together, or written communication.
Gifts or any types of favors are not to be exchanged between a PNM and/or sorority or sorority member at any time during the recruitment period.
Active members are not allowed to say “I can’t wait to see you back tomorrow”, “I’ll see you tomorrow”, “I want you as my little”, “Wear this on bid day”, "We love you " , "We will COB you, " and other comments that promise bids.
Active Members and Potential New Members are not permitted to shake hands during any recruitment activities
If any of these things happen to you between now and bid day, please notify your Rho Gamma. You will not get in trouble for reporting violations of the Recruitment Rules, but we want to keep our chapters accountable!

Single Intentional Preference (SIP)
Single Intentional Preference is when a PNM attends more than one Preference Round event but only lists one choice on her Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement. This is strongly discouraged as your chances of joining are severely limited and dramatically decreased.
WITHDRAWING FROM RECRUITMENT
If through this process, you realize that sorority life is not for you, we understand.
Please talk to any Rho Gamma about a Withdrawal Form, and complete that in its entirety. Please be honest in your answers on that form, as it will help us improve the recruitment experience and better understand your choice to withdraw from recruitment.
There are also other opportunities to join our Panhellenic community throughout the academic year. If you are interested in learning more about these opportunities, please indicate that on your withdrawal form and speak with your Rho Gamma.
COB - Continuous Open Bidding
"COB" is short for Continuous Open Bidding, a form of informal recruitment that sorority chapters can participate in at any time outside of primary recruitment which ASU hosts in the Fall. COB can occur after primary recruitment and in the Spring Semester. Not every sorority on campus will participate in COB.
The Continuous Open Bidding process is much more laid back and you get to interact with the members in a comfortable environment.
These informal events will look different for each organization. Sorority chapters might host a game night, coffee date, roller skating, bowling, movie night or similar types of events. COB events are designed to be less structured than primary recruitment, which can allow you to speak with more chapter members.
Typically a small number of sororities may be able to recruitment a limited number of women through the COB process after Primary Recruitment, if their chapter is below the campus total. This opportunity is not always guaranteed.
There is also an opportunity to participate in COB in the Spring. Panhellenic hosts a Spring Sorority Showcase in January for PNMs to know what groups are participating in COB for the Spring Term.

CAN I JOIN AS A FIRST-SEMESTER FRESHMAN?
It depends on the organization, but most can be joined by first-year students. While first-semester students are permitted to join organizations their first semester and many do, some students chose to wait a semester or more before joining an organization. Joining a fraternity or sorority is an individual decision and students should look to start the fraternity or sorority experience when they are ready.
WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT?
A popular but important question to ask during the recruitment/intake process –the time commitment varies based upon the expectations of each organization. The amount of time a member wants to commit to the chapter is also a testament to how much the member wants to get out or contribute to the chapter. Many chapters would minimally expect members to be present for a weekly chapter meeting and a weekly chapter event (brotherhood/sisterhood, dinner, fundraiser, educational speaker, etc.), so two-four hours a week.
IF I JOIN, HOW COMMITTED AM I AND FOR HOW LONG?
A strong benefit of fraternities and sororities are the relationships and connections to the fraternity/sorority are life-long. Unlike a student organization that you may choose to be a part of one semester and leave the next, fraternities and sororities do not have simple processes for removing membership, however, each organization does have a process should the need arise.
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM GPA REQUIREMENT?
The required GPA varies for each chapter and each governing council. If you are concerned that your high school GPA, or for current ASU students your college GPA, may not be sufficient, ask during the recruitment/intake process if you meet the minimum requirements.
IF I JOIN A FRATERNITY OR SORORITY, CAN I JOIN ANY OTHER CLUBS?
Fraternity and sorority members are very involved in other clubs and organizations across campus and in the community. In fact, many chapters expect members to be involved in at least one organization outside of the fraternity or sorority. Many of the leaders of Undergraduate Student Government, Residence Hall Association, Programming and Activities Board, and other major student organizations are members of fraternities and sororities.
HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH GROUP IS RIGHT FOR ME?
In order to choose a chapter that is right for you, you should do some preliminary research about each organization before recruitment. Then you should participate in recruitment. The recruitment process will allow you and the chapters to decide on the best fit. As you go through the process, be sure to keep an open mind, take notes after events, and be yourself.
IF I AM AN ASU ONLINE STUDENT, CAN I JOIN?
ASU Online students are enrolled ASU students, therefore eligible to be a member of a fraternity or sorority. If an ASU Online student is not in the immediate area, the distance may prove difficult for recruitment or membership expectations for the fraternity or sorority (ie. attendance requirements for brotherhood/sisterhoods, chapter meetings, chapter ceremonies and rituals, etc.).
IF I’M A GRADUATE STUDENT AT ASU, CAN I JOIN?
Graduate students interested in pursuing membership in a Greek-letter organization should research the national organization they are interested in to see what the possibility of graduate membership may be. Some chapters and councils allow for graduate members and others do not. For questions about a specific organization, refer to that organization’s (inter)national website. The National Panhellenic council does not allow Graduate students to join.
DO I NEED TO GO TO ALL OF THE EVENTS LISTED ON MY RECRUITMENT SCHEDULE?
Yes! The objective of recruitment is for you to learn as much as you can about our Panhellenic community at ASU and each of our chapters. Going to all of your events will help you make a decision regarding membership. If you intentionally miss an event you were invited to, you are not maximizing your options and could be released from the recruitment process.
IF I PARTICIPATE IN PRIMARY RECRUITMENT, AM I OBLIGATED TO JOIN A SORORITY?
Potential New Members who choose to participate in recruitment are not obligated to join a sorority. The recruitment process gives women interested in sorority membership the opportunity to explore Greek life and see if it is the right fit.
WILL ALL PARTICIPANTS JOIN A SORORITY AT THE END OF RECRUITMENT?
Because recruitment is a mutual selection process, there are many different outcomes to this process. Participation in Primary Recruitment does NOT guarantee you an invitation to join a sorority, and it is possible to go through recruitment and not pledge a sorority.
WHAT IF I ONLY WANT TO BE IN A CERTAIN SORORITY?
Only wanting to be a member of one specific sorority, or only considering a few sororities, can severely limit a PNM's options for membership and can lead to disappointment. Please do not choose a sorority based on stereotypes or others' opinion's. We encourage you to keep an open mind about the chapters and make a decision that is best for you.
ROUND 1 (CHAPTER VIDEOS)
Wear what you will be most comfortable in. This could be as simple as a t-shirt, shorts and sneakers. You'll only be watching chapter videos with your Rho Gamma groups.
ROUND 2 (PHILANTHROPY)
You will be provided a t-shirt to wear during the Philanthropy round. Ideas to pair with the shirt could be jeans, skirts, shorts, or any other fun bottoms you may have! For shoes, we recommend sandals or sneakers.
ROUND 3 (SISTERHOOD)
Think family party; sun dress, rompers, jumpsuits, blouses, pants and skirts. For shoes: sandals, wedges, heels or flats.
ROUND 4 (PREFERENCE)
This is the most formal round for attire in recruitment - think semiformal, graduation or a wedding. Dresses, jumpsuits, blazers, blouses, pants or skirts are examples. Sandals, wedges, heels or flats are good shoe options as well.
BID DAY
Lightweight shirt or tank top, shorts and sneakers
Phone Charger, Extra Pony-Tail Holders, Hairbrush, Bobby Pins, Band-Aids, Mints, Pen, Feminine Hygiene Products, Make Up Wipes, Oil Blotting Sheets, Flip-Flops, Deodorant, Water Bottle, Mask, and a Tote Bag.
There may be long periods of time in your schedule, so bring something to help keep you occupied such as a book, homework, etc.
You won't be allowed to take anything into your recruitment events. Leave your nice purse or bag in your room. The bag you will bring will be outside of the room while you attend events or at your assigned waiting area with the Recruitment Counselors. Keep that in mind when deciding on what bag to bring with you during recruitment.
Take notes! Write down things you liked or didn't like about each chapter right after each round on paper or in your phone, which will help you when you reflect on all the chapters you visited each day. Record names of women you talked to, what you talked about, notable characteristics of each chapter, and anything else you want to remember.
Be positive and polite.
Look at the sorority as a whole. Don't judge the entire chapter by one woman.
Ask questions! It will help the conversation run smoothly and show a sign of interest
Be matu
Be reali
hom you feel the
Do not i an event as assu member has no w s.
Make sure to get plenty of rest, drink LOTS of water, and eat before and throughout the day. Recruitment is a long process and you will want to be your very best self. Coffee is not a meal replacement!
Remember to make your own decisions! If you have any questions, feelings, or confusion that you want to discuss, go to your Rho Gamma! She is there for you and wants to help you throughout the process.
Become friends with the women in your recruitment group. Some of them could end up being your sisters and if not, it's always nice to see a familiar face around campus.
Bring shoes to change into while you ' re walking from chapter to chapter. You will not want to wear those brand new heels for eight hours on a hot August day.
Smile! Have a great time, meet as many people as possible, and enjoy the experience to the fullest!

During Recruitment it’s so important to be yourself!! You are joining a chapter that you will be a part of for your college career! Being yourself will allow you to make connections that will last way past recruitment and allow you to develop as a sorority member, leader, and as a person. As Vice President of Membership Development I really believe the aspects of being in a sorority after recruitment are the most important part of Greek life and how this community can help you grow is my main priority.

I am a third-year student studying Global Studies and Philosophy in Barrett, the Honors College. If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to let the ASU community guide you to where you belong. The scariest yet most amazing part of this university, is its size as there is truly a place for everyone. Me and my fellow executives on the Panhellenic Council, hope that you find one of your many homes in the Panhellenic community this Fall.

Your experience during recruitment as a new sorority woman should never involve activities that make you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed.
Arizona State University does not tolerate hazing in any form, and therefore it is strictly prohibited. Additionally, hazing is a violation of all national fraternity and sorority policies, the Arizona Board of Regents Student Code of Conduct, and is a violation of state and federal law. All ASU students are expected to follow the ABOR Student Code of Conduct.
For more information, contact the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life or the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
If you are concerned that you or a student is being hazed within their organization, please call the ASU Fraternity and Sorority Life Hotline: 480-884-0346
Joining a Panhellenic Sisterhood is the beginning of creating lifelong friends. It is a way for you to create a home away from home. One of the best aspects of joining a sorority is the friends you will make.
You will share a bond with these women that is unlike any other. You will share each other's successes, happiness, and occasional sorrows.
You will find that relaxing and laughing with each other will be some of the most fulfilling times you and your sisters will have together. Sisterhood is more than wearing the same Greek letters – it is about a sense of belonging, companionship, and community.

Leadership development is one of the benefits of being in a sorority. As a chapter officer, you can further develop your leadership skills. Every chapter has multiple opportunities for you to get involved. Whether it is taking on a larger role, such as an Executive Board position, or even being on an event planning committee, there are leadership roles for everyone.
Additionally, sorority women are also involved in campus-wide activities. Your chapter will encourage you to get involved. Greeks are members of numerous student organizations, including Undergraduate Student Government, ASU Athletics, Programming and Activites Board, Devils' Advocates, Residence Hall Association, Order of Omega honor society, and many other organizations. Striking a balance between academics and extracurricular activities is an important part of college life. Involvement in both areas provides a wellrounded college experience.
Panhellenic sorority women contribute so much to the ASU campus and surrounding community. ASU Greek Life completed nearly 33,000 hours of community service during the 2022 calendar year. This service was completed through individual and group community service projects at local volunteer programs such as The Make-AWish Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Habitat for Humanity, the Boys and Girls Club of America, Feed My Starving Children, and many more.
There are endless opportunities to help benefit the community. The ability to give your time and talents to others is one of the most important qualities you will develop while being part of a sorority.
In addition to volunteering time, the fraternity and sorority community raised over $616,000 for charitable organizations during the 2022 calendar year.
Chapters hold philanthropy events throughout the year to raise money and awareness for their national philanthropic cause. Sororities and fraternities are able to come together and participate in each other's events to impact the greater community.
The Greek Leadership Village (GLV) is a student-led project that provides the ASU Fraternity & Sorority community with meeting spaces, council offices, retail space, and housing facilities to support their leadership, growth, and development for years to come.
The GLV was constructed in direct response to student demand and feedback and officially opened in the Fall of 2018. The Village is located on campus on the southeast corner of Rural and Lemon off of Terrace Road. There are 12 sorority chapters at ASU with facilities in the GLV. Many of our chapters also maintain live-in policies as part of their organization's standing rules - be sure to ask about these policies and other housing questions during recruitment.

Joining a chapter comes with a financial requirement. You and your family should be aware of dues, fees, and other expenses before joining.
The first semester is usually the most expensive, as most of the one-time new member fees occur then. Your investment during your collegiate years provides you with organization membership for a lifetime. Each chapter has dues that cover sisterhood and educational programming activities, philanthropic event participation, social events, merchandise, and sometimes travel to regional or national leadership opportunities.
Be sure to review the dues section on each chapter page, ask questions about financial obligations, and what chapter dues cover before and during recruitment. Do not let dues impact your decision making as many offer scholarships and have payment plans to make it an affordable experience.
New Members will only be required to pay New Member Dues their first semester.
