PANHELLENIC EXPERIENCE On behalf of the Panhellenic Executive Board and the vibrant Panhellenic community, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to every one of you as you commence your exciting journey here at Arizona State University. As the governing body of the 14 NPC Sororities on our campus, known as The College Panhellenic Association, we proudly represent over 3,000 individuals from diverse backgrounds, majors, and campuses within ASU. Embarking on your college journey and navigating sorority recruitment is an exciting occasion filled with anticipation and possibility. Reflecting on my own experience, I can confidently affirm that joining Greek Life at ASU was undeniably the best decision I ever made. As an out-of-state student, the Panhellenic experience has provided me with invaluable opportunities for personal growth through various leadership roles, community service initiatives, and philanthropic endeavors. The friendships I have cultivated within Greek Life are bound to endure well beyond my time at Arizona State University. Additionally, Greek Life has provided me with a supportive community within the larger campus, fostering engagement in community service, campus events, leadership development, and the cherished bonds of sisterhood, all while upholding rigorous academic standards.

Panhellenic women are well-rounded individuals who support one another's aspirations and thrive within 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 sorority life at ASU, please do not hesitate to reach out to me via email or visit our office at the Greek Leadership Community Center.

A LETTER TO FAMILIES Congratulations on your student's decision to participate in ASU's 2024 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.

17

A LETTER TO FAMILIES 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 2024 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.

Sincerely,

Bridgette Wynn Bridgette Wynn, Fraternity and Sorority Life Coordinator, bridgette.wynn@asu.edu

UNDERSTANDING RECRUITMENT EXPECTATIONS 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.

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.

28

POTENTIAL NEW MEMBER AGREEMENT 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).

29

POTENTIAL NEW MEMBER AGREEMENT I agree to treat the chapter videos, virtual recruitment events, and in person recruitment events as confidential. I will not share any video or virtual recruitment event, including a video in its entirety, or recordings, clips, screenshots, and/or quotes from a video or virtual recruitment event. For any virtual recruitment events, I will be in a private space to participate and eliminate distractions. I understand that any breach of this agreement could result in referral to ASU Department of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity and/or the PHA Judicial Process, as well as the disciplinary action discussed later in this document.

I will participate fully in each recruitment event. If the recruitment event is virtual, this includes leaving my camera on for the duration of the event and leaving my microphone on during breakout room conversations. If the recruitment event is in person, this includes attending the event and engaging in conversation. I will engage in respectful conversation with chapter members.

I understand that if I sign my MRABA on the night of Preference Round, I am bound to this document and the chapter that extends me a bid. This means I am considered ineligible for an invitation to membership from any other PHA chapter until August 2024.

I understand that the consumption of alcohol and/or any illegal substance use during the week of Primary Recruitment, on Bid Day, and up to 24 hours after Bid Day events have ended, it is strictly prohibited by PHA and may result in PHA disciplinary sanctions and/or Arizona State University disciplinary sanctions.

I understand that, upon joining a chapter, I will be responsible for all financial and academic obligations of membership.

I understand that in order to participate in any in person activities that I am required to follow ASU COVID-19 Guidelines that may apply at the time of recruitment, such as wear a mask at all times, practice social distancing, stay within appropriately sized groups, and follow all expectations and procedures put in place by my new sorority chapter.

I will follow all expectations, rules, policies, and procedures set forth by Arizona State University, the Panhellenic Council, and the National Panhellenic Conference shared with me by my recruitment counselor, the PHA Executive Council, and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life staff.

30

POTENTIAL NEW MEMBER AGREEMENT Should I break any of the statements listed previously, disciplinary action will be taken as listed below: FIRST OFFENSE: Meet with Recruitment Counselor Review first offense conduct Review Potential New Member code of ethics SECOND OFFENSE: Meet with a PHA Executive Council member Review second offense conduct Review Potential New Member code of ethics THIRD OFFENSE/SEVERE OFFENSE: Meet with an FSL Staff Member Review third offense conduct 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.

MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT ACCEPTANCE BINDING AGREEMENT (MRABA)

ABOUT THE MRABA: At the completion of the primary recruitment period, all women are given the option to sign a membership recruitment acceptance binding agreement (MRABA). In order to receive a bid from a sorority on campus, an MRABA must be signed. The MRABA is used on every campus that has NPC member organizations.

By signing this document, you as a Potential New Member agree that you are willing to accept a bid for membership from any sorority that you rank on the MRABA. If you receive a bid from a sorority that you ranked on your MRABA, you are bound to that group for one calendar year (August 2024 to August 2025). If you receive a bid from any of the sororities that you have listed on your MRABA, and you choose not to accept it, you are NOT eligible to participate in Continuous Open Bidding (COB) in Fall 2024 or Spring 2025 WHEN DO I SIGN THE MRABA? After your last event, you will go into preference selection to sign the MRABA and rank the chapter(s) you visited. Please note that once your MRABA has been signed and your rankings submitted, it cannot be altered or changed.

Before signing the MRABA, you have options to carefully consider. We encourage to understand these before you finalize your decision.

MRABA OPTIONS: 1. You may choose NOT to sign the MRABA, thus withdrawing from recruitment. If you choose this option, you are eligible to accept a bid from any sororities participating in Continuous Open Bidding.

2. You may choose to list any sorority whose preference event you attended and from whom you are willing to accept a bid for membership. Please note you should NOT rank a sorority on your MRABA that you are not absolutely willing to accept a bid from for membership. If you match with a sorority listed on your MRABA you are bound to that bid for a year (August 2022-August 2023), regardless if you accept the bid or not.

3. You may choose to limit your choices to just one sorority whose preference round event you attend and you are willing to accept an invitation to membership. You must understand that if you chose to single intentional preference (SIP), that you are not guaranteed to receive a bid for membership. PNMS that maximize their options and list all chapters for event that they attended during preference will receive a bid for membership during Primary Recruitment.

If you do not receive a bid from any of the sororities that you have listed, you are eligible for Continuous Open Bidding (COB).

39

MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT ACCEPTANCE BINDING AGREEMENT (MRABA) On Sunday after attending all recruitment events, each PNM will participate in final selection. She will sign a Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement (MRABA). Signing this is a binding agreement between the National Panhellenic Conference and the PNM. Please read this page carefully.

Introduction: Agree to binding electronic contract and electronic signature. Initial each statement.

This form is called the Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement, or “MRABA.” I understand that it is a contract with the National Panhellenic Conference (“NPC”) and both parties will have access to the signed agreement.

I choose to complete this MRABA because I participated in the primary membership recruitment process (“Recruitment”) at Arizona State University.

ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE ONLY I consent to this electronic contract. I agree to electronically sign the MRABA. These terms are defined by the Electronic Signatures and Global and National Commerce Act (“E-Sign”) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”).

I agree that this MRABA and my electronic signature is valid, enforceable, and binding under E-Sign and UETA. Part 1: Withdrawing or Continuing in Recruitment. Initial one of the following options: I want to withdraw from Recruitment.

I will not join a sorority now. I could join a sorority in the future by participating in the continuous open bidding (“COB”) process. I will not complete this contract.

I am continuing in Recruitment.

MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT ACCEPTANCE BINDING AGREEMENT (MRABA)

Part 2: Show that you understand the ranking process. Initial each statement.

By signing the MRABA, I understand and agree that each of these statements is true: I am willing to accept an invitation to membership (“bid”) from any sorority I list in Part 4.

I will rank each sorority in the order of my preference for receiving a bid.

If I attended a sorority’s preference event, and I would not accept a bid from that sorority, I do not have to rank that sorority.

I understand that if I choose to rank fewer sororities, I might not receive a bid through Recruitment Part 3: Show that you understand the effect of submitting the MRABA. Initial each statement below.

By signing the MRABA, I understand and agree that each of these statements is true: After I submit this form, I cannot change my rankings. I cannot add or delete any sororities to my rankings.

If I do not receive a bid from any sorority I ranked, I understand I am eligible to join any sorority later, through the COB process. I understand that not all sororities will recruit through COB. If I do receive a bid from a sorority I ranked, but I choose not to accept that bid, I understand that I am not eligible to join any other sorority on this campus until the start of the next Recruitment.

Part 4: Rank your preferences. Rank in order of your preference for receiving a bid.

1st Preference: 2nd Preference: Part 5: Sign the contract.

I have read and understand this MRABA. By signing or submitting this MRABA, I agree to be bound by its terms. I agree that completing this form electronically has the same legal effect of completing a paper version.

I have never been initiated into an NPC sorority. I understand that if I join an NPC sorority and choose to become an initiated member of that sorority, I cannot join another NPC member organization, regardless of any circumstances.

Signature: Date:

41

UNDERSTANDING MY OPTIONS 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.

HELPFUL ADVICE FOR PNMS

43

QUESTIONS TO ASK DURING ROUNDS What is your favorite thing about being in a sorority?

How have your sisters supported you in this chapter?

How does your sorority support and promote diversity and inclusion?

What is the time commitment like?

What activities do you participate in throughout the year?

How does your chapter support your philanthropy?

What are the financial commitments?

What leadership opportunities are there?

What is it like being a full time student and being in a sorority at the same time?

What is your favorite memory from being in this chapter?

What events do you host during the year?

What is it like living in the chapter house?

What events go on in the greek community and what's your favorite one?

44

BEFORE MAKING YOUR DECISION...

ASK YOURSELF: How did you feel attending this chapter's event? Excited? Welcomed?

Do you your values align well with the values of the chapter?

What is your first impression of this chapter? Has your initial opinion changed throughout the experience?

How was your experience in the chapter similar or different to what you previously envisioned?

How can you be an asset to this chapter?

How can this chapter be an asset to you?

What do you think you will gain from this chapter?

KEEP IN MIND: Do not set your heart on one sorority at any time throughout the week. Being open-minded will help you be more successful throughout the process.

Take notes throughout the recruitment week, they will be helpful on preference.

Keep an open mind and get to know each sorority beneath their appearances (i.e. material aspects such as furniture, décor, or apparel) Do not let others decision influence your own.

The sorority that was right for your mother, sister, or best friend may not be right for you.

Do not listen to rumors.

Do not be afraid to let financial considerations be your final deciding factor. There are scholarships that many organizations provide for financial assistance.

Be authentically you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BEING IN A FRATERNITY OR SORORITY? There are many benefits of being in a fraternity or sorority.

These benefits include, but are not limited to the following: leadership experiences (officer positions and conferences), academic support, friendships, mentorships, intramurals and team sports, community service, alumni networking, wider range of resources and connections on campus, lifelong memories, philanthropic involvement, time management, life skills development, and the potential to receive various scholarships.

WILL FRATERNITY/SORORITY LIFE INTERFERE WITH MY ACADEMICS? Academic achievement is your primary responsibility while at ASU. In addition to minimum GPA requirements, most chapters have an academic officer and a faculty advisor whose responsibilities include assisting members in achieving their academic goals and monitoring their academic progress. If necessary, they also help connect members with academic resources such as tutoring or mentoring to help members who are not meeting expectations. Many chapters also reward members for excelling in the classroom with discounted dues and scholarships.

WHAT IS THE NEW MEMBER PROCESS? The new member process, sometimes referred to as pledging or associate member process, consists of a defined period of time (typically between four-eight weeks) where new members meet brothers/sisters in the fraternity/sorority, learn about the history and values of the chapter and community, participate in service and philanthropy events, and social activities . After completing the new member process, new members are initiated into the organization.

AM I GUARANTEED A BID? Recruitment/intake is a mutual selection process, so while you are looking for an organization that is best for you, chapters are determining who they think will be best for the organization, so unfortunately, bids are not guaranteed.

47

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 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.

48

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 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.

49

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 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.

50

WHAT TO WEAR 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.

51

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.

52

ROUND 3 (SISTERHOOD) Think family party; sun dress, rompers, jumpsuits, blouses, pants and skirts. For shoes: sandals, wedges, heels or flats.

53

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.

54

BID DAY Lightweight shirt or tank top, shorts and sneakers

55

ESSENTIAL ITEMS TO BRING 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, Mini fan, 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.

56

RECRUITMENT HELPFUL TIPS 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 mature in your decision making.

Be realistic about the members with whom you feel the most comfortable.

Do not interpret any remark made at an event as assurance of a bid - one individual member has no way of determining these things.

57

RECRUITMENT HELPFUL TIPS 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!

MEET OUR MEMBER DEVELOPMENT TEAM “Recruitment can be a very scary process but you have to remember to be yourself and you will end up where you’re meant to be. Joining a sorority is also joining a community that will be your support system for the rest of your life. As Vice President of Member Development I emphasize the importance of the Panhellenic community after recruitment. Just because you are in a specific chapter doesn’t mean you can’t find your best friends in other chapters in the community. Meeting new people and expanding your network is what greek life is all about. Be open minded and don’t be afraid to take risks!”

Jordyn Williams VP Membership Development

MEET OUR MEMBER DEVELOPMENT TEAM As a transfer student to Arizona State University, I had a unique recruitment experience. I went through COB recruitment in Spring ‘23. It was an incredibly fulfilling experience where I met so many women that I consider family to this day!

The following semester, I got to experience Fall Recruitment from the active member perspective. Being on the recruiting side, I saw how the experience can be overwhelming for PNMs. However, it’s important to remember that all women going through recruitment are going through the same thing! Everyone involved in recruiting has the final goal of helping you find your forever home, and if you are staying true to your beautiful self throughout the process, you will find the place that catches your heart and you feel you belong.Remember, there are so many people who value your happiness and comfortability throughout this process and beyond!

Please do not hesitate to reach out to your Rho Gammas for any questions or concerns regarding recruitment. You are also welcome to reach out to us on the Panhellenic Board. Remember, the most important part of this experience is to have fun, so don’t forget to have fun and be yourself!

ANTI-HAZING POLICY 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

VALUES

69

SISTERHOOD 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.

70

SCHOLARSHIP Academic achievement is the primary reason for attending college and Panhellenic sororities recognize the importance of scholarship. The Panhellenic Association does not require a specific GPA to participate in recruitment as each member organization makes its own membership decisions. However, each sorority has a minimum grade requirement to be considered for membership and initiation. The average grade requirement to join most organizations is around a 2.5 GPA. It is important to understand that if your GPA is lower than the average chapter requirement, your opportunities for joining may decrease. We encourage you to inquire about this during recruitment.

The Panhellenic sorority women want you to be successful here at ASU! Panhellenic chapters offer study hours, assistance in time management and study skills, as well as tutoring programs. Each national organization also offers academic scholarships for women who meet the requirements.

With permission from each Potential New Member, ASU will verify GPA, ASU enrollment, and number of credits enrolled in for each woman going through recruitment.

71

LEADERSHIP 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 well-rounded college experience.

72

COMMUNITY SERVICE 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 2023 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.

73

PHILANTHROPY 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 $616,941 for charitable organizations during the 2023 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.

74

FINANCE & HOUSING

75

CHAPTER FINANCES 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 chapter finance guide, 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.

76

HOUSING

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.
