The Panhellenic Experience Our Purpopse The purpose of this non-profit organization shall be to promote cooperation among sororities, to formulate rules and procedures for recruitment and new member education, to regulate inter-sorority activities, and to insure cooperation between sororities and other student organizations and the University administration.

What is Panhel?

Where does Panhel

The Panhellenic Association, or Panhel, is the comprehensive name of the entire women’s sorority system. Every woman who is a member of one of the ten sororities on campus is a member of the Panhellenic Association. The Panhellenic Council is the governing body of the women’s sorority system at the University of Rhode Island.

Come From?

The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) is the governing body of the Panhellenic Council. All policies instituted by the Panhellenic Council have been developed in accordance with NPC policies and recommendations.

“When women support each other, incredible things happen.”

Our Core Values Fellowship We work to establish collaboration within our organizations, with our greek community and beyond URI. Fellowship is built on shared values & personal connections.

Scholarship We maintain academics as a priority and help prepare students for life after graduation. We support our members who struggle and celebrate our members who succeed.

Our Core Values Leadership We are leaders in the classroom, in the greek community & across campus. We develop men and women who are accountable for our actions and advance your Rhody experience.

Service We give back to the community around us through philanthropy & community service. We actively look for opportunities to make a positive difference in our local community and the world.

Recruitment Tips from our Panhellenic Chairs...

"Trust the process! Be open to anyone and everyone you meet including the girls you go through recruitment with, everything happens for a reason!"

- Quinn Toro, Scholarship Chair

“Don't be afraid to show off your personal style! Have some fun with your recruitment outfits, you can always find ways to show off your own personality and style through the pieces and accessories you choose to wear for each round!”

- Noa Tovia, Public Relations Chair

"Don’t listen to the gossip! Let your conversations in the houses shape your opinions of the chapters!"

- Sammie Cochis, Alumni & Archives Chair “As you narrow down your choices, talk to the girls in line with you before you enter each house! There’s a good chance some of these girls could become apart of your new member class. See if you have similarities, and use this help to you figure out which house is best for you!”

- Cassie Dwight, Programming Chair

“Go into recruitment being yourself, this will find you your home and best friends for your next four years and a lifetime!”

- Juliana Matyas, Health & Wellness Chair

Recruitment Tips from our Panhellenic Chairs...

“Take notes during recruitment!! It can be helpful in the end when you are choosing a chapter! Don’t let other opinions influence your decision, even when you think they know best, you have to go to where you think you’ll fit best.”

- Sydney Chabot, New Member Ed Chair

"Don’t get discouraged! recruitment can a little be overwhelming and intimidating at times, but as you go further into the rounds, conservations become more & more intimate. if you’re having doubts, really try to stick it through until the end, you will connect with and find the sisters you are meant to be with!"

- Lauren Locurcio, Student Orgs & Housing Chair

"Recruitment can be a stressful time; not knowing what to expect, wear, or even talk about. The most important thing to remember is to be yourself; talk to these girls like you would talk to anyone you just met. Find connections and don’t be afraid to initiate conversations; this is YOUR recruitment experience so make the most of it!

- Taylor Brown, Recruitment Chair

“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself! It can be easy to compare your process to others, but trust your connections! stay true to yourself, your values, and what you’re looking for!”

- Melina DeMarco, Phil & Service Chair

“Enjoy the whole process! Keep an open mind when entering each house and talking to sisters. At the end of the day, we want you to find your people!”

- Kimmy Fountain, Risk Management Chair
