Why Panhellenic Life?

Our

Panhellenic

sorority

community

at

Mississippi State University is built upon four core values: sisterhood, scholarship, philanthropy, and leadership. These guiding principles create a foundation for individual growth while building a lifelong sense of community. Throughout their time in our organizations, members form meaningful relationships and have the unmatched opportunity to contribute to something greater than themselves, both on campus and beyond.

SISTERHOOD Sisterhood gives women the chance to be part of something larger than themselves by forming meaningful connections and building relationships with others. One of the best parts of college life is meeting new people and making lasting friendships, which is why our focus on sisterhood is so valuable for undergraduate women.

Sisterhood brings us together with a shared goal of supporting, empowering, and uplifting each other, while sharing values and experiences. Our Panhellenic community embodies this spirit in many ways, and we can’t wait to show you how special sisterhood is at Mississippi State. What makes our sisterhood so meaningful is that it’s real, dependable, and encourages us to be our best selves.

The entire Panhellenic community is excited to welcome, support, and strengthen the 2025 New Members of all our chapters. All nine of our chapters are committed to fostering a community of belonging and friendship that will be there well beyond your college years.

SCHOLARSHIP

Our

Panhellenic

chapters

highlight

the

importance of academics to help women thrive in the classroom and in their future careers.

Sorority women at Mississippi State consistently maintain a higher average GPA than the allwomen’s average as well as having a higher graduation rate than the average general college student population. This success is the result of chapters holding their members to a higher academic standard by requiring women to maintain their grades to remain active members.

Each chapter provides opportunities, such as having study parties, connecting members with similar majors, networking events, and providing encouragement to their members. Being part of a Panhellenic chapter can significantly enhance your academic experience. We understand that success within the classroom is one of the most important aspects of college, and our Panhellenic community can give you a strong support system as you focus on excelling as a student.

4

LEADERSHIP One of the most valuable aspects of our Panhellenic community is the abundance of leadership opportunities available to members.

Our chapters place a strong emphasis on leadership development and actively encourage members to get involved, not only within their respective chapters, but also across campus and in the greater community. Through these experiences, women gain essential skills like effective communication, organization, management, cooperation, and more, all of which contribute to personal and professional growth.

Greek life also serves as a great bridge to other

PHILANTHROPY Giving back and making a meaningful impact is at the heart of Greek life here at Mississippi State.

Every Panhellenic chapter is proudly partnered with a local, national, or international charity, dedicating time, energy, and resources to causes that reach far beyond their own sisterhoods. This commitment reflects our belief in contributing to something greater than ourselves and making a difference in the lives of others. Most chapters host two to three major philanthropic events each year, where members come together to volunteer and raise funds. These events include mentoring programs, sporting events, various food fundraisers, and many more service-based activities. Such events are planned by our individual chapters and are often open to the entire community to attend and participate in, fostering an environment of collective impact. For our chapters, service isn’t just about fundraising, it’s about showing compassion, spreading kindness, and uplifting those around us.

It's this spirit of selflessness and genuine care for others that truly defines what it means to be a Panhellenic woman.

campus organizations, including honor societies, cultural groups, and pre-professional associations. These opportunities allow you to make the most of your time at Mississippi State, helping you grow as a leader both during and beyond your time in college. Being a part of the Greek community opens doors for incredible networking opportunities, helping women develop a strong foundation and support system as they begin building their futures.

A LETTER FROM THE Dear Potential New Member,

President

First and foremost, welcome to Mississippi State University! Choosing to become part of the Bulldog family is the beginning of an exciting new chapter, one that will be filled with new experiences, meaningful growth, and lifelong friendships. By considering going through Panhellenic Recruitment, you’ve already taken your first courageous step toward something truly life-changing. Going through the Recruitment process is as meaningful as it is memorable. It will give you great stories, new confidences, new friends, and a small glimpse of all the wonderful things that lie ahead of you as a Mississippi State Student and a Sorority Woman.

Three years ago, I was in your shoes, equal parts nervous about what college would be like, but also excited about all the new ways I would grow. Coming to Mississippi State from Pennsylvania without knowing anyone was a big step, but choosing to go through recruitment changed everything. I was welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness by women who saw me for who I was and believed in who I could become. Since then, Panhellenic has given me so much more than I ever expected, lifelong friends who love me through every season, a sisterhood that has challenged me, supported me, and celebrated me, and a space where I’ve grown into a more confident version of myself. What I found here wasn’t just a group of people, it was home, and the kind of community that has made Mississippi State feel like it was where I was always meant to be.

Let me tell you a little more about what makes Greek Life at Mississippi State so special. Philanthropy and service are at the heart of everything we do. Each year, our Greek community raises over $500,000 for important causes and completes more than 65,000 hours of service. Academics are just as important, Panhellenic women consistently achieve a higher average GPA than the all-women’s average on campus. But above all, what ties it all together is the sense of belonging. We believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. No matter your background or your story, there is a place for you here.

Our chapters are ready to say, “We see you, and you belong.”

Each of our nine Panhellenic chapters here on campus are made up of incredible women, each with her own strengths, passions, and personality. What they all have in common is that they’ve stood exactly where you are now. Every woman you meet during this process has her own story about how this community changed her life, and they’re so excited to share that with you. Every chapter has something different to offer, and that’s what makes this process so special, you get to find the space where you feel most like yourself. So make the most of every moment and every conversation. These women are opening their homes and their hearts to you, and I hope you walk into every room knowing that you’re welcome just as you are.

By signing up for recruitment, you’ve already taken such a meaningful step toward everything this next chapter has in store.

It’s the beginning of so much more than just finding a sorority, it’s about finding your people, your purpose, and the place where you feel truly at home. When I came to Mississippi State I didn't know a single person, and now I have an entire community of women who I truly can’t imagine my life without. My hope is that one day, you’ll look back at this week and realize it was the moment everything started to fall into place.

As president it is my priority to support you throughout the recruitment week and beyond. Please reach out to myself, any of the other nine Panhellenic Officers, or any of our Gamma Chis. We are all here for you and want to help you! I am available to you all week if you need any kind of help, encouragement, a laugh, a cry, or some big sister advice. This week is about you, and it is such a privilege for me to support you as you step into it. You already belong here, and I cannot wait to see all that you’ll experience and become.

With all the Pan Love & Mine,

Issy Karp Panhellenic President

A LETTER FROM THE Dear Potential New Member,

Director of Recruitment

I am so excited that you are considering joining our Panhellenic community here at Mississippi State University – a place that has given me so much more than I could have ever hoped for! Deciding to take part in the recruitment process is truly an experience unlike any other; and, looking back now, I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. No matter your background or interests, there’s a place for you!

Greek life at Mississippi State is built on authentic connections, leadership, personal growth, and service, all of which represents the heart of who we are as Panhellenic women. Each of our nine chapters has something special to offer with a group of women who embody these same core values. I want to encourage you to keep an open mind at all times, stay true to who you are, and embrace this experience fully in each conversation because you never know where it may lead you.

Not that long ago, I was in the same spot you are today, anticipating this next season of life but also feeling overwhelmed by change. I know how challenging it can be to search for a sense of belonging in a new environment, but little did I know then how much I would come to love and appreciate this community and all who are part of it! Through my journey, I found not only a chapter, but a true home away from home, filled with women who continually challenge me to grow, inspire me to be better, show me how to serve well, and teach me how to lead with purpose and intention. Just as it has for me, I believe this community can provide you with the same support, friendship, and opportunity for success during your college years and far beyond.

Recruitment week is a time to have fun, make new friends, and find the place that’s best for you! While it can feel stressful at times, remember to take care of yourself and trust that everything will work out as it’s meant to. Smile and enjoy this experience - it’s the first of many wonderful opportunities MSU has to offer. Our Panhellenic community is thrilled to welcome you, and we’re here to support and guide you every step of the way!

With Pan Love,

Hannah Henneke Director of Recruitment

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q&A How do I register?

Visit www.greeks.msstate.edu to register.

Registration for recruitment opens May 15 and closes July 20. No applications will be accepted after July 20 at 11:59 p.m.

Do I need to go to all events on my schedule?

Yes! The objective of Recruitment is for each PNM to learn as much as you can about each chapter in order to make the best decision.

Therefore, if you intentionally miss an event that you were invited to, you are not maximizing your options, and you can be released from the recruitment process.

If I am a legacy to a sorority, what should I know?

Panhellenic does not have any specific policies on legacies. Each sorority has a policy regarding legacies, and it is up to each chapter to decide whether to offer membership to a legacy. Likewise, legacies are not obligated to join a sorority to which they are a legacy.

Ultimately, the individual PNM’s personality, character, resume, grades, etc., are the main determining factors for membership selection.

If I participate in Primary Recruitment, am I obligated to join a sorority?

PNMs who choose to participate in recruitment are not obligated to join a sorority. The recruitment process gives women interested in joining a sorority the opportunity to explore Greek life and see if it is the right fit.

What if I only want to be in one specific sorority?

Only wanting to be a member of one specific sorority, or only considering a few sororities, can severely limit a PNMs options for membership and can lead to disappointment. We encourage all PNMs to keep an open mind about the chapters and make a decision that is best for you and not based on others opinions. Please be kind and respectful.

Can I participate in both Recruitment and New Maroon Camp?

New Maroon Camp will overlap directly with Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment. The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life will work to try to accommodate schedules so incoming students can participate in as much of NMC as possible. If you do choose to participate in both, your sorority recruitment schedule will take priority. If you miss NMC events for Panhellenic recruitment, please note that it will impact your attendance record for NMC incentives.

Do I have to live in the sorority house?

Mississippi State requires you to live in the residence halls your freshman year. Each sorority has its own policy regarding living in the chapter house. Some sororities require members to live in the house for one or two academic years. There is also an oncampus residence hall option for sorority women after their freshman year, pending availability!

Can I eat at the sorority house once I join, and is there a meal plan?

Yes and yes! All incoming MSU students are required to purchase a campus dining meal plan.

In addition, sorority members have a chapter meal plan that covers meals at the chapter house that is separate from the campus meal plan.

If you join a sorority chapter through recruitment, Mississippi State allows you to adjust your campus meal plan by Sept. 1. You can switch to to a Weekly 14 or Weekly 7 to help offset the cost of having two meal plans.

TIPS & TRICKS RUMOR HAS IT Do not pay attention to any rumors you hear or things you see on social media. We encourage you to approach recruitment with an open mind. This process is all about discovering the chapters for yourself and forming your own opinions. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to your Gamma Chi.

CHIT CHAT

Be mindful of your words when talking about chapters. Everyone has different experiences and connections, and it's important to respect those perspectives. Please remember that negative or disrespectful comments about any chapter are not appropriate at any time.

DESIGNER? NO NEED! Panhellenic will provide all PNMs a bag to use during Recruitment to store any personal items. All PNMs will receive the same bag and will be given the opportunity to personalize it. You will not be able to bring your own bags to the row during recruitment. Nothing is to be brought into the houses during parties. These bags will be left outside of the chapter houses with the Gamma Chis.

ALL THE ESSENTIALS The essentials are anything you might want or need to use between parties. These can be stored in your bag provided by Panhellenic, such as a ponytail holder, bobby pins, hairbrush, personal hand-held fan, portable phone charger, mints, snacks, water bottle, band-aids, deodorant, perfume, umbrella, feminine hygiene products, etc.

AUGUST IN MISSISSIPPI It will be very hot during recruitment week! We want everyone to be safe, so please keep that in mind when picking out your outfits. We suggest wearing lightweight clothing that will help keep you cool and comfortable.

31

LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION REC LETTERS A Recommendation or Reference Letter (often called a REC or RIF) serves as an introduction to a sorority, helping members learn more about you before primary recruitment in the fall. These letters are typically completed by alumnae using official forms provided by their sorority’s national organization.

They highlight your character, academic achievements, and extracurricular involvement.

While helpful, recommendation letters are optional and not required to participate in primary recruitment. Each sorority has its own policy on accepting them, and MSU Panhellenic does not manage or access individual chapter forms.

WHERE TO SUBMIT Alpha Chi Omega: my.alphachiomega.org Alpha Delta Pi: alphadeltapi.org Chi Omega: chiomega.com Delta Delta Delta: tridelta.org Delta Gamma: deltagamma.org Kappa Delta: kappadelta.org Pi Beta Phi: pibetaphi.org Phi Mu: does not accept letters of recommendations per national policy Zeta Tau Alpha: zetataualpha.org

Alumnae should consult their sorority’s national website for specific instructions, as requirements vary. You won’t be notified if a chapter receives your recommendation, so it’s important to trust the alumna writing on your behalf. Sending her a prompt thank-you note can serve as both appreciation and a gentle reminder. Most chapters prefer to receive recommendations by Aug. 1.

LETTERS OF SUPPORT

Although letters from sorority alumnae are preferred, we understand that not all potential new members may have access to one from each MSU Panhellenic chapter. To provide an alternative, this year’s recruitment application includes the option to submit a general academic letter of support. This optional letter can be written by a teacher, guidance counselor, or principal and does not require the author to be affiliated with a Greek organization. The focus should be on your character, highlighting qualities such as leadership, academic dedication, service, and the ability to form meaningful relationships. Please note that including this letter is entirely voluntary, and how each sorority considers it is at the discretion of the individual chapter.

32

OBLIGATIONS ACADEMIC OBLIGATIONS

FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS

There isn’t a specific grade point average (GPA) required to register and participate in the

Each chapter has financial requirements, which

Panhellenic formal recruitment process. However, each sorority has its own GPA requirement that aligns with their organizational standards. On average, a 3.00 GPA is the threshold to receive an invitation to join a sorority. Academic performance is an important factor in the Panhellenic community, so your GPA will play a role in the

families should discuss before their student joins a sorority. Financial requirements may include membership dues, a meal plan, house fees, and room and board if you live in the sorority house.

Please note that dues and fees are subject to change. For a more detailed financial breakdown, please take a look at our Sorority Information Booklet on our website greeks.msstate.edu

membership selection process. The scale below illustrates how your GPA might impact your options during formal recruitment:

3.00+

2.75–2.99

2.74 below

Green: Your options are not likely to be limited based on GPA

GREEK DINING MEAL PLANS

Yellow: Your options are more likely to be limited based on GPA Red: Your options are very likely to be limited based on GPA

First-time Freshman in a Greek Organization with an on-campus Fraternity/Sorority house with a kitchen have the option of choosing from the Weekly 21, Weekly 14, or Weekly 7 Meal Plans (during Fall Semester only) to supplement their in-house meals at the chapter house or facility.

Please note, ALL first-time freshmen are required to have an MSU Dining Meal Plan. In addition, Panhellenic Sororities have a separate chapter meal plan through their chapter fees and dues, which should not be confused with MSU Dining Meal Plans.

Following Bid Day, you will have two weeks after classes start to change your meal plan. If you have any questions, please contact the MSU Dining Office at 662-325-7120.

Potential New Member Contract Panhellenic Recruitment at Mississippi State University is a fantastic process and we are so glad you decided to participate this week.

2. I will remain respectful towards myself, other potential new members, chapter members, and university staff at all times.

36

MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT ACCEPTANCE BINDING AGREEMENT MRABA FOR SHORT The

following

document

is

the

Membership

Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement (MRABA), formerly known as the “Preference Card.”

The MRABA is a binding agreement that is effective for one calendar year. When signing this document, you, as a Potential New Member, agree to accept a bid for membership from any sorority that you rank on the MRABA. Please note that if you receive an invitation to membership (a bid) from any sorority that you ranked on your MRABA, then you are bound to that group for one calendar year (August 2025August 2026). Most importantly, if you receive a bid from any sorority 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 2025 or Spring 2026.

WHEN DO I SIGN? If you receive an invitation to the Preference round, you will make your final selection at the conclusion of your last party. Here you will rank the chapter(s) you visited on Monday, August 18 in preferential order. Once you complete your rankings, you will sign a copy of the MRABA. Please note that once the MRABA has been turned into a representative of the MSU Panhellenic Council, it cannot be altered or changed.

MRABA OPTIONS Prior to signing the MRABA, you have several options to consider. We suggest that you thoroughly reflect on these before signing your MRABA.

1. You may choose NOT to complete the MRABA, thereby withdrawing from recruitment. If you

choose this option, you are eligible to accept a bid for membership from any sororities participating in Continuous Open Bidding. A small number of sororities may be able to recruit a limited number of women through the COB process after Primary Recruitment if their chapter is below the Campus Total; however, this is not guaranteed.

2. You may choose to list any sorority whose preference event you attended and from whom you are willing to accept an invitation to membership (a bid). Please note that you should NOT rank a sorority on your MRABA that you are absolutely not willing to accept a bid for membership. If you match with a sorority that you listed on your MRABA, it is important to note that you are bound to that sorority for one calendar year (August 2025-August 2026), regardless of whether you officially accept their invitation for membership or not.

3. You may choose to limit your choices to just one sorority whose preference round event you attended and from whom you are willing to accept an invitation to membership. You must understand that if you chose to single intentional preference, then you are not guaranteed to receive a bid for membership.

Only Potential New Members who maximize their options and list ALL of the chapters that they attended during the preference round are guaranteed to receive a bid for membership during Primary Recruitment. If you do not receive an invitation to membership (a bid) from any of the sororities that you have listed, you are eligible for Continuous Open Bidding (COB).

THE MRABA 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 COB (“COB”) process. I will not complete this contract. (Next Step: Continue to Part 5). ____ I am continuing in Recruitment.

(Next Step: Continue to Part 2).

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 Primary 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 primary Recruitment. ____ If I do accept a bid from a sorority, but I break my pledge or the sorority breaks the pledge, I understand that I am not eligible to be pledged by a different sorority on this campus until the start of the next primary recruitment.

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

1st Preference ____________________________________________________ 2nd Preference (if applicable) ____________________________________________ 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.

MENTAL HEALTH MOMENT

Let’s get through The Week!

We know that for some, this process can be daunting, or scary, but it is super laid back! We just want to give a few pointers for this week to help it not feel so overwhelming.

KNOW YOUR WORTH! This week may be full of twists and turns. Know who you are and what values you stand for. At the end of the day, this process and its outcome do not define you or your self-worth.

LIMIT SOCIAL MEDIA!

As much as we love social media and keeping up with all the latest trends, this week is all about you! Make this decision for you, and don’t let others influence you into one decision or another. With this being your decision, we encourage not posting about your week and experiences with our chapters.

TAKE A BREATH!

You’ve got this! This week may seem like it will dictate your entire collegiate experience, but it won’t! Every chapter has something special to offer and so do you – keep an open mind and take a breath!

BE READY!

Make sure you’ve got everything you need for each day of recruitment packed and ready to go the night before. However, being prepared isn’t just about your outfit, hair, and makeup. Take a little time each morning to check in with yourself and get in the right headspace. Recruitment can be exciting but also overwhelming, so staying grounded and mentally ready will help you show up as your best, most authentic self.
