Terms to Know

Recruitment is a mutual selection process that balances the preferences of each potential new member (PNM) with those of the sorority chapters. The Panhellenic Council strives to allow every young women an opportunity to find a sorority that best suits her personality, interests, and future goals while providing an organized and unbiased membership selection process for the chapters.

Invitations are only guaranteed to PNMs for the first round (Thursday/Friday). There is no guarantee that a PNM will be invited to attend the second (Saturday) or final (Sunday) event rounds. Invitations to subsequent rounds are made based on the selections of the chapters and the preferences of the PNMs. PNM schedules will be maximized so they are able to meet with as many chapters as possible during the recruitment experience.

Therefore, there is no guarantee a women will receive a bid to any sorority. However, if a PNM progresses throughout the weekend, attends all the events she is invited to during the final event round, and lists each of those chapter(s) on her preference card that night, she will receive a bid to one of those chapters.
