PRIMARY PRIMARY RECRUITMENT: RECRUITMENT: the basics

Primary Recruitment is conducted by the eight National Panhellenic Council chapters within our CPC community It takes place each August prior to the start of the fall semester All Primary Recruitment logistics, invitations, and rules are overseen and organized by the CPC Executive Board, the CPC Recruitment Board, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, and the designated Recruitment Counselors The recruitment process allows for all PNMs who are registered for Primary Recruitment to visit each sorority and have conversations with current members

REGISTRATION: Due to the large volume of individuals attending Primary Recruitment, prior registration is required. Registration closes August 15th at noon and there is a non-refundable fee of $40 to register, which covers the administrative costs of recruitment. A scholarship is available to wave all fees and any potential new member is eligible to apply The fees will be required to pay upon registering for formal recruitment and will be reimbursed upon winning

FORMAT: For Fall 2023, we will be following the in-person Primary Recruitment format We will proceed with the virtual recruitment or hybrid recruitment contingency plan in accordance with CDC and Georgia Tech guidelines, as was implemented during Primary Recruitment in 2020-2022 for PNMs with excused in-person absences

MUTUAL SELECTION: The selection process for joining a sorority is a “mutual selection” process At the end of each day of recruitment, PNMs will rank the chapters that they would like to return to and chapters will extend invitations to individuals who could be a good fit in their respective chapter PNMs will have the opportunity to discuss their decisions with Recruitment Counselors at the end of each day
