Pi Rho Chi Pi Rho Chi Pi Rho Chi

Recruitment is a special experience to build connections, meet new people, and find your lifelong sisters. Although it is special, it can still be nerve-wracking and that is perfectly normal and okay! Your recruitment counselor (Pi Rho Chi) is there for you during the ups and downs of recruitment. The Pi Rho Chis have removed themselves from their chapter, to be an unbiased, confidential, and a neutral resource for you during the process. The Pi Rho Chis have been thoroughly interviewed, selected, and trained to be a strong unbiased support system for you. They are so excited to be your cheerleader not just through recruitment but leading up to it, to help you prepare, and afterwards! They want to build a friendship with you and be there to support you emotionally and mentally. Pi Rho Chis are there for you, so feel free to ask questions about anything! They truly want you to have the best recruitment experience and are so excited to meet you and support you!
