Primary Recruitment
Wednesday, August 20 - Monday, August 25, 2025
Primary Recruitment is the most common way to find your home within the Panhellenic Council at 萝莉社! This year, Primary Recruitment will take place from August 20鈥�25. During this exciting week, you'll have the opportunity to meet all five Panhellenic chapters on campus.
During Primary Recruitment, women will have the opportunity to meet and network with current members of our chapters. You will get the opportunity to share with others your values, passion for service, and committment to academic success.
Through a process of mutual selection, participants may receive a bid to join a chapter on Bid Day. To support you throughout the experience, you will be placed in a group of potential new members led by a Recruitment Counselor who can answer your questions and guide you every step of the way.
To participate, simply complete the registration form and pay the required registration fee of $50.

Just a few short years ago, I was in your shoes wondering where sorority life would take me. I vividly remember the mix of excitement and uncertainty that comes with this experience. As cheesy as it sounds, being part of this community has changed my life.
Coming to college was definitely not easy. However, joining the Panhellenic Community provided me with the best support system. Looking back, I can confidently say that participating in Primary Recruitment was one of the most transformative experiences of my life.
