LETTER FROM THE PANHEL PRESIDENT Congratulations and welcome to the University of Michigan!

My name is Lainey and I serve as the 2021 Panhellenic President. I am a Senior at UofM which is so crazy as It feels like only a few months ago I, myself, went through recruitment.

The Panhellenic Association at Michigan includes approximately 3,500 women and is the oldest and largest all women’s group on campus. The Panhellenic community has been such an integral part of my undergraduate experience. Within it, I found my home away from home, and I have made friendships that will last a lifetime. Additionally, this community has allowed me to participate in unique fundraising and service opportunities for great philanthropic causes. Likewise, over the past three years working in a number of different leadership positions within the panhellenic community, I have developed strong leadership and professional management skills.

The Panhellenic Association serves as a great support system for all its members. We pride ourselves on being empowering women who empower women, and I am continually impressed by the generosity, intelligence, and resilience of the women I interact with everyday.

I am so excited for the 2022 Primary Recruitment season, and I look forward to welcoming another class of incredible women to the Panhellenic community. I hope to meet you soon, and as always, go blue!

HISTORY OF SORORITIES Nationalof Panhellenic Conference (NPC) History Panhel

Leadership

FSL Community There are 4 councils that make up the the FSL community. There is also one Panhellenic chapter that does not take part in structuralized formal recruitment.

They hold their own recruitment events separate from primary recruitment.

Multicultural Greek Council

The council celebrates and promotes multiculturalism through programming and service housed in several racial, ethnic, and cultural communities. These organizations were nationally founded after many historically African American fraternities and sororities were founded with the purpose of creating safe, culturally-enriched spaces and to serve the needs of students representing multiple cultures on college campuses.

National Pan-Hellenic Council

Black students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s) and at Predominantly White Institutions (PWI’s) then created these historic organizations to celebrate and promote Black/Afro-diasporic pride, history, and culture. In more modern times, fraternities and sororities from every council are open to members of any background, but membership in an NPHC fraternity or sorority means that students honor that activism by doing service and programming in the Black community.

Interfraternity Council

The Interfraternity Council (IFC) is the local governing body that serves the affiliated fraternities within the council. Since the first fraternity came to campus in 1845, IFC chapters have striven to embody the highest levels of leadership, scholarship, and service. IFC prides itself on its ability to create a supportive community for students, provide opportunities for friendship and brotherhood and offering numerous leadership opportunities across the council.

Members develop the highest standard of personal integrity, strive for academic excellence, and build friendships that will last a lifetime.Phi Sigma Rho was founded in 1984 by Abby McDonald and Rashmi Khanna at Purdue University. Abby and Rashmi were unable to participate in traditional sorority rushes due to the demands of their engineering program, so they decided to start their own sorority instead. In 2001, the University of Michigan Eta chapter was founded. Their values are scholarship, service, and social. More information about Phi Sigma Rho's recruitment events will be given in the near future.

COMMITTEES AND TASKFORCES DEI TASKFORCE The Panhellenic Association at the University of Michigan strives to ensure equity, inclusivity, and diversity within our community.

HAZING TASKFORCE

PPE Health And Wellness & PPE SVEE

The Panhellenic Peer Educator Program began in the fall of 2015 with a goal to increase awareness and educate their community on issues of sexual violence. Panhellenic women from various chapters came together to learn more about these issues, create educational programming, and serve as allies for their Panhellenic sisters. Over the years it has developed into two branches, the Panhellenic Peer Educators of Sexual Violence Education and Empowerment and the Panhellenic Peer Educators of Health and Wellness.

What is Primary Recruitment?

Primary Recruitment is a structured mutual selection process that allows a Potential New Member (PNM) to explore all of our Panhellenic chapters. It is the formal process of joining a Panhellenic sorority at the University of Michigan.

It consists of 4

rounds, Open House, Philanthropy, Sisterhood, and Preference, where the chapters and PNMs mutually select each other to help place everyone in the chapter they belong!

Primary Recruitment ends with Bid Day, when sororities extend invitations (bids) to join their chapter.

PNM Code of Conduct

Primary Recruitment at the University of Michigan is not only a great opportunity but also a privilege. Each Panhellenic sorority on campus has been preparing for your arrival and participation in this process. As an honored guest at recruitment events and registered participant, PNMs are expected to act in accordance with the following rules:

1. I will attend all events for which I receive an invitation and understand that failure to do so may result in removal from recruitment.

2. I will behave respectfully towards myself, other potential new members, chapter members, and university staff at all times, specifically I will refrain from slandering any of the above individuals during recruitment. If I fail to do so, I understand that I may be removed from recruitment.

3. I will act politely and respectfully when attending all events. This includes but is not limited to engaging in all conversations and not using my cell phone during rounds.

4. I will follow all instructions given to me regarding attending events, invitation ranking, and MRABA signing.

5. I will take the designated transportation provided by the Panhellenic Association to attend events in person.

6. I will review the Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement (MRABA) and understand that if I am matched with a chapter and receive an invitation to join, I am bound to that organization and ineligible to join another chapter until January 2023.

7. I understand that the consumption of alcohol and socializing with men is not permitted during recruitment and bid day activities.

8. I understand that, upon joining a chapter, I will be responsible for the financial obligations of membership.

9. I understand that I am responsible for any personal property I choose to bring to recruitment events.

20

Financial & Housing Information If you accept an invitation to join a chapter, you are entering a financial agreement and contract for housing and membership dues during your college years. Dues and fees vary from chapter to chapter and year to year. It is important to note costs may be more expensive your first year in the chapter as there are some one-time fees. Membership dues may include some of the following: badge fee, initiation fee, date parties, philanthropy events and inter/national fees.

Most sorority members will have the opportunity to live in their chapter houses. Once a student has accepted a bid, new members traditionally live in the house at least the following year, dependent on the chapter's live in requirements.

In the website below you can find all chapters dues, fees, and housing requirements for their members each year.
