A Letter from Our

PRESIDENT

Dear PNM’s, My name is Jaden Achen and I am the Panhellenic President here at the University of Utah. With recruitment right around the corner, I could not be more excited to be there to encourage you all through the process. As I reflect on my time in fraternity and sorority life it is crazy to think that 3 years ago I was in the same shoes as you. I was also a much different person at the time and I have this community to thank for my continuous involvement and growth. I have been able to find family and comfort in a group of women, who are continuously supporting me in any way they can.

If I could go through this process again, I would in a heartbeat. My advice to you is to go in with an open mind and open heart. While you are in search of a chapter that aligns with your personal values, remember that there are so many amazing women in our community and you’ll find a home in any chapter. Recruitment plays the biggest role in our community and is one of my most touching moments of college. Having an open heart throughout recruitment allowed me to make connections during the process, and these connections remain till this day. If you trust the process you will end up exactly where you belong. I am so excited to see all of you this fall recruitment and I can’t wait to share the power of this community.

Love, Jaden

Jaden Achen PANHELLENIC PRESIDENT 1

A Letter from Our

VP OF RECRUITMENT

All of us on the Panhellenic Council and every member of our community are so happy to welcome you to recruitment! Your decision to go through our recruitment process is one that will hopefully bring you friends, community, and a deep commitment to personal development. While college is only a finite number of years, the impact of joining a sorority is one that will create bonds and memories for life.

Throughout this process you will have the opportunity to meet our six Panhellenic chapters participating in primary recruitment and talk to members from each one. We encourage you to explore all of your options and keep an open mind throughout this process. Every chapter you visit has unique qualities and amazing women. Even though you may only join one, the entire community is excited to welcome you with open arms.

Beginning your college experience with sorority recruitment is an exciting endeavor full of possibility. I remember when I was an incoming freshman preparing for recruitment, and as an out-of-state student I was nervous but eager to make friends. I can confidently say it was the best decision I have made thus far. The friendships I have created and the community I have felt has made college feel a lot less intimidating and much more fun.

In addition to my lifelong friends, I have had many opportunities for personal growth in leadership roles in and outside of Greek Life, as well as philanthropic endeavors and community service initiatives. Being a part of this community has been a positive pillar of my college experience and I hope it will be for you too!

As you embark in this process, please remember to enjoy this week, take some deep breaths, and be yourself. We look forward to having you in this wonderful community!

Love, Grace

University of Utah Panhellenic Council

The National Panhellenic Conference is the umbrella organization for 26 inter/national sororities. Here on campus we are home to 6 of the 26 Panhellenic sororities. The NPC strives to advance and advocate for the sorority experience. They work to "assist collegiate and alumnae chapters of the NPC member organizations in coopering colleges and universities and to foster interfraternal relationships."

Together, the council members strive to unite sorority women and strengthen their values through cooperation, common interests, and talents brought from each chapter. They work together with the delegates to make the Greek community a positive and active influence on the U of U campus and in the Salt Lake City community.

CHAPTER PRIDE INVESTMENT Part 1: August 12th

Part 1: August 14th

WHAT HAPPENS: This day will start with an orientation ceremony in the Union. The Panhellenic Council will welcome you to recruitment and inform you of some basic info you will need for the week. From there, you will separate into small groups to meet your Recruitment Guides (Rho Gammas) to go over the weekly schedule. You will then walk to 100 South where your group will meet 3/6 chapters. This is the round to focus on getting to know our chapters. Have fun and keep an open mind!

WHAT HAPPENS: For this round, the maximum number of chapters that a PNM will return to is 4. Your *up to 4* chapter visits will be split across August 14th & 15th.

These events are more formal than “small talk” from Round one. Conversation is based around values, service, and the chapter’s philanthropy.

Part 2: August 13th

Part 2: August 15th

WHAT HAPPENS: PNM’s will start the day with their Rho Gamma group in the morning. After talking with your Rho Gammas, you will have the chance to become acquainted with the remaining 3 chapters. From there, PNM’s will input their preferences on which chapters they would like to return to based on their conversations over the past two days.

WHAT HAPPENS: You will visit the remaining chapters you were invited back to during Round 2 Part 1. Once you are done with Round 2 chapter visits, (it is possible to be done on the 14th as well) PNM’s will once again input preferences on which chapters they would like to return to.

BID DAY

August 16th

August 17th

WHAT HAPPENS: On Preference, or Pref Day, you will return to up to 2 chapters. This is the day to really focus on what you want to gain from joining a sorority. During this time, members may share with you how she made her decision, what her sorority means to her personally and what sisterhood encompasses. This day will bring a close to your recruitment week. Be yourself, trust your gut and ask any last questions you may have. After the last event, you will walk to the union to complete your Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement (MRABA). See pages 15-16 for more details.

WHAT HAPPENS: Rounds are over, you have finished preferencing, and now it's finally time to find out which chapter is yours to call home! All PNMs will arrive in the Union and each will receive a sealed envelope.

There will be a designated time to open your envelopes to reveal your Bid Card, and also to find out which chapters your Rho Gammas belong to. After opening your envelope, you will gather around your chapter's designated area and go to the chapter's Bid Day festivities. This is a fun day to get to know your new chapter and make friends before the start of the semester!

A look into

Recruitment Week

Values-Based Recruitment We strive to focus on Values Based Recruitment in our Panhellenic community.

We emphasize academics, equality, inclusion, and service, and we encourage you to be conscious of these values this week. We also encourage you to consider which chapters have values that align with your own as you move through the recruitment process.

The week of Primary Recruitment consists of five days broken into three “rounds,” each structured to show you what each sorority has to offer. You will also have a chance to meet current sorority women in each of the chapters. Take the time to ask them any questions that you may have about activities, financial obligations, scholarship, new member programs, and campus life in general. It is very important that you keep an open mind during this process and carefully decide where YOU feel you fit best.

Please recognize that Primary Recruitment at The University of Utah is a mutual selection process in that both the Potential New Members and the individual sororities are making choices. All Potential New Members will have the chance to meet every sorority chapter during the first round of Recruitment, but the remaining two rounds (Investment and Preference) are by invitation only. Throughout the rounds of recruitment, Potential New Members will be able to rank/preference the chapters they wish to re-visit and the sororities will make decisions regarding the PNM’s they want to re-invite to their rounds. Potential New Members should understand that they may not receive invitations to all the chapters that they would like to re-visit.

While this may seem overwhelming, the Panhellenic Executive Board and Rho Gammas will explain this process in detail on the first day and throughout the week.

11

THINGS TO Note ALCOHOL

It is against the law and a violation of the Student Code of Conduct for an individual under the age of 21 to consume alcohol at a sorority event.

Sororities are governed by international organizations, the University of Utah, and the City of Salt Lake. Students should be aware that if they are found in possession of alcohol on University property, including Greek Row, they will receive a citation and referral to the Student Behavior Committee.

The chapter of the Greek member receiving an MIP from the police patrol is fined as well. The chapter responsible for any student receiving a citation will also receive a fine.

HAZING

The University of Utah Greek Council condemn hazing in any form. Hazing includes all activities that do not contribute to the positive development, safety, and welfare of new members and initiated members. The University of Utah defines hazing as, "Any action or situation on or off chapter or colony premises tht involves physically abusing or intentially inflicting severe emotional distress upon another member of the University of Utah which produces physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule." Both mental and physical hazing is prohibited by Utah State Law, the University of Utah, and fraternities and sororities. As a member of the Greek community, it is your right to be treated with dignity and to walk away from any form of activity that may be constructed as hazing.

LIABILITY

Please be advised that the University of Utah and the Greek Council assume no liability for accidents or injuries.

Panhellenic Code of Ethics As members of the University of Utah Panhellenic Council, our goal is to promote a safe, positive, enriching experience. Our goal is to provide opportunities for the greatest number of people to obtain membership in a sorority. In order to reach this goal, we strive to create an environment of trust, honesty, unity, and cooperation amongst all chapters. Therefore, we solemly promise to:

Respect ourselves, our members, and the Fraternity and Sorority community as a whole Work with other sororities to improve the Fraternity and Sorority community Enable every Potential New Member an equal opportunity Act accordingly with Panhellenic spirit within our own chapter values and moral judgment Promote the safety and protection of current and prospective members Treat Potential New Members with respect before, during, and after recruitment Abide all official Panhellenic codes, including but not limited to: The Panhellenic Creed, The Potential New Member Bill of Rights, The Panhellenic Recruitment Rules, The National Panhellenic Conference Unanimous Agreements.

Allow the Potential New Member to have freedom of thought in their decisions Assure the Potential New Member about the recruitment process, membership requirements, and external and internal responsibilities

The Panhellenic Council desires to build a community that reflects diversity and inclusion within our chapters. We strive to make our campus stronger through our commitment to promoting diversity and creating positive change within the Greek community. People of all backgrounds are in the Panhellenic community, and each individual is celebrated for their perspective, ideas, and contributions.

UNDERSTANDING THE MRABA MRABA stands for Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement. It is the document that is signed right before final selections are made during Preference round. The MRABA is broken down into nine sections. However, the first six sections are intended for PNMs to read and understand. It is important that you fully comprehend the contract before making your final preferences.

Don't fret: we will break it down for you!

MRABA is a legally binding document.

I am willing to accept an invitation to membership from any sorority or women's fraternity that I list on this agreement.

PNMS should only list the chapters they are willing to join.

I may limit my choices to just one OR list any sorority or women's fraternity whose preference-round event I attended, an from which I am willing to accept membership. I realize by not listing the maximum number of events I attended, I may be limiting my potential to join any other NPC group during primary recruitment should I not be placed with my choices.

A PNM can only rank chapters whose preference events they attended. They do not have to rank all the chapters they attended, but we encourage them to maximize their options.

15

Once I submit this agreement to the Panhellenic Association, I cannot change the order of my preferences or add or delete a preference.

Once the form is signed and submitted, the order of the chapter list and selections cannot be altered.

If I do not receive an invitation to membership from a group listed, I am eligible for continuous open bidding.

If a PNM does not maximize their option and does not receive a bid from a group listed on their MRABA, they can join any chapter through continous open bidding (COB) or informal recruitment. This is only available to groups that have open spots in their chapter.

I have the option of not submitting an agreement at this time.

A PNM does not have to submit the MRABA, which results in them being removed from the recruitment process.

Once I submit this agreement, I am bound by the National Panhellenic Conference one calendar year rule. This rule states that if through the primary membership recruitment process, I receive a bid and decline it, then I am ineligible to be pledged to another NPC fraternity on the same campus until the beginning of the next primary membership recruitment period.

If a PNM receives a bid from a chapter they list and then later chooses not to initiate, they cannot join another NPC group on that camps until the next primary membership recruitment period. If they are not initiated and transfers schools, they can participate at the first opportunity on the new campus.

ASSOCIATE MEMBER CHAPTERS

DELTA SIGMA THETA

KAPPA DELTA CHI

PHI SIGMA RHO

The University of Utah Panhellenic Council has three Associate Chapters: Delta Sigma Theta, Kappa Delta Chi, and Phi Sigma Rho. These chapters offer the same benefits as the other Panhellenic chapters at the U. The term “associate” simply means that these three organizations have national organizations that are NOT part of the National Panhellenic Conference. Since our three associate chapters are not affiliated with the formal recruitment process, you do not have to register or pay a fee to participate in their recruitment. All three associate chapters have different recruitment processes; therefore, the dates for recruitment may vary for each chapter.

RECRUITMENT Frequently

IF I PARTICIPATE IN PRIMARY RECRUITMENT, AM I OBLIGATED TO JOIN A SORORITY? Potential New Members who choose to participate in recruitment are not obligated to join a sorority. The recruitment process gives PNM’s interested in sorority membership the opportunity to explore sorority life and see if it is the right fit for them.

WILL ALL PARTICIPANTS PLEDGE A SORORITY AT THE END OF RECRUITMENT? Because recruitment is a mutual selection process, there are many different outcomes to this process.

Participation in primary recruitment does not guarantee you an invitation to a sorority. However, a majority of our PNM’s will join a sorority by the end of the process!

WHAT IF I AM NOT A FRESHMAN AND I WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN PRIMARY RECRUITMENT? You do not have to be a incoming freshman in order to particpate in recruitment!

We have had many PNM’s find their forever home after freshman year!

DO I NEED TO ATTEND ALL OF THE INVITES ON MY RECRUITMENT SCHEDULE? Yes! The objective of recruitment is for you, as a PNM , to learn as much as you can about the Panhellenic community and each of the chapters. By doing this you can make the most educated decision regarding membership. If you intentionally miss an event you were invited to, you are not maximizing your options.

WHAT IF I ONLY WANT TO BE IN A CERTAIN SORORITY? Only wanting to be a member of one specific sorority, or only considering a few sororities, can severely limit a PNM’s options for membership could be released from the recruitment process. We encourage you to keep an open mind about the chapters and make a decision that is best for you and do not make your selections based on others’ opinions.

WEEK

Asked Questions DOES BEING IN A SORORITY TAKE UP A LOT OF TIME? While each sorority’s membership requirements differ, a general range for commitment is anywhere from 2 to 8 hours a week.

Whether it be helping with a community service project, planning an event, or regular weekly meetings, members have learned to manage their time wisely with other commitments such as schoolwork, a job, friends outside of their chapter, as well as other organizations that they are involved with.

DO SORORITIES HAZE? Our Greek community has a zero tolerance for hazing.

Hazing is against the policies of the University, state law, and Greek Council. We provide in-depth education around what hazing is, how to combat hazing from happening, and what the consequences are to organizations, chapter presidents, new member educators and new members of fraternities and sororities.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BEING IN A SORORITY? There are many benefits of joining a sorority! These benefits include, but are not limited to: leadership experience, academic support, mentorship, intramural and team sports, community service, alumnae networking, wider range of connections and resources on campus, life skills development, lifelong friendships, and the potential to receive various scholarships.

Panhellenic does not have any specific policies on legacies. Each sororities has their own policy regarding legacies, and it is up to each chapter to decide whether to offer member to a legacy.

Likewise, legacies are not obligated to pledge the sorority to which they are a legacy. Each potential new member is evaluated on an individual basis, and sororities are more likely to consider mutual compatibility versus a family connection.

“MY FAMILY MEMBER WAS IN *X* SORORITY? DOES THAT MEAN I AUTOMATICALLY GET A BID?
