Panhellenic Recruitment
Panhellenic chapters recruit new members during both the fall and spring semesters. Fall is the primary time for recruitment, with chapters following a formal process. Recruitment in the spring is more informal with continuous open bidding (COB).Ìý

Recruitment is taking place over two weekends this year, and we know Sept. 6 is a home football game day. If you miss recruitment events due to attending the game, you will be removed from recruitment. Attending the game is not an excused absence and will not be counted. We plan on having your Rho Gammas connect with you during the week break between recruitment events, so you might have additional, optional events during that week!ÌýÌýÌý
Registration is a two-step process, requiring you to fill out an application form on our recruitment software (ICS) and complete a video interview through VidCruiter. Please make sure you complete both in order to be registered for recruitment.ÌýÌýÌý

Spring recruitment
Spring recruitment is a more relaxed process called continuous open bidding (COB). During this time, the chapters that participate will host individual recruitment events, typically within the same week. Not all chapters choose to take part. Unlike the formal recruitment in the fall, COB is more casual and offers a laid-back way to meet members.ÌýÌý
We encourage all interested students to join the Panhellenic Council's spring kickoff event and keep an eye out for the recruitment schedules from individual chapters as the semester begins. COB can occur throughout the semester, so if you are interested in joining a sorority, fill out this . We will share your information with participating chapters.Ìý
