IS ACCOMPLISHED BY ABIDING BY THE FOLLOWING AGREEMENTS:
I understand my rights under the PNM Bill of Rights, and if I experience discrimination, I know how to report it to the College Panhellenic
A PNM shall attend recruitment orientation and all membership recruitment events for which she receives invitations.
Respect for the membership recruitment process is expected at all times. This includes respect toward chapter members, recruitment counselors, Panhellenic officers, faculty, staff, and other PNMs PNMs should refrain from sexist, homophobic, racist or otherwise abhorrent conversations
Membership recruitment is a substance-free process. Women may not use or be in the presence of drugs and alcohol during the membership recruitment period. Violating this rule will result in immediate removal from the membership recruitment process.
PNMs should be fully aware of the financial obligations of membership before accepting a bid It is to the PNM’s advantage to ask questions during recruitment events if there are questions about finances
PNMs agree to treat the chapter recruitment parties as confidential. PNMs will not record or share any content from recruitment events, whether in person or virtual A breach of this agreement could result in disciplinary action
PNMs understand that if they sign a Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement (MRABA) after the preference round, they are bound to that document and the chapter that extends them a bid. This means the PNM is ineligible for an invitation to membership from another NPC organization until the next primary recruitment on that campus.
PNMs may ask their RCs affiliation if absolutely necessary to maintain an impartial recruitment process PNMs may not reveal any RC affiliation to fellow PNMs
Failure to abide by the above mentioned expectations will result in reviewing your status as a PNM. All offenses will be reviewed by the CPC Executive Board and may result in immediate release from recruitment if deemed necessary.

Demonstrate ethical behavior and conduct ourselves in a manner consistent with the mission and values of the College Panhellenic, each inter/national organization and our institution
Respectfully adhere to the Unanimous Agreements and all policies established by the National Panhellenic Conference
Avoid disparaging remarks about any sorority or collegiate woman and refrain from discussing Panhellenic matters with nonmembers, in accordance with the dignity and good manners of sorority women.
Recognize friendly relations with all collegiate women, both sorority members and nonmembers, realizing the importance of creating and building friendships
Plan recruitment events that provide opportunities for the greatest possible number of women to become sorority members while protecting the rights and privileges of individuals and the chapters
Provide a safe, positive and enriching recruitment experience, understanding that membership is a social experience arrived at by mutual selection
Strive to be truthful, honorable, open and friendly to all potential new members during all recruitment events
Be respectful of the rights of every potential new member to make her own choices, including the right not to join the women’s sorority community.
Refrain from limiting a potential new member’s chances of becoming a member of the Panhellenic community by encouraging her to make a single intentional preference or to limit her choices
Support the goals of Recruitment as being the following: to give each Potential New Member maximum opportunity to join a chapter; to provide the fraternity experience to as many as possible; and to maintain adequate strength within and amongst our chapters
Discourage “dirty recruiting” within our chapters, as well as any other behavior that would not be beneficial to our individual members
Deter our members from encouraging men to influence Potential New Members in any way Disassociate our chapter’s Panhellenic Counselors (Recruitment Counselors), not using them in any way as a liaison from chapters to Potential New Members or to the advantage of our individual chapters
