K ABIDING BY THE SPIRIT OF RECRUITMENT Recruitment is intended to give each PNM an equal opporunity to become familiar with every sorority. To keep the process fair, guidelines have been established with the expectation they will be followed. However, violations may occur, sometimes involving PNMs unwittingly. If a sorority offers you presents, invites you to Recruitment events during the summer or implies that you will receive a bid, that sorority is illegally recruiting you. This is unfair to you because this special attention may lead you to believe you may have a better chance of becoming a member of that chapter. However, Recruitment holds no guarantees for anyone. Sororities should be confident that they can attract members when playing by the rules. If you are aware that a sorority is illegally recruiting you, it is your duty to report this violation. Please contact Panhellenic with any questions (706.542.4612)
