Recruitment Details

Although recruitment might look different this year, we are so excited to meet you all! Formal Recruitment will be in the of Fall 2022. Throughout the process, you will be guided by "Rho Gamma's" who have disaffiliated from their chapters to remain unbiased and help you through your journey to find your home in Panhellenic. Be sure to follow along with Panhellenic UCR to stay updated on recruitment info nights, what to wear, etc.

Recruitment Process

Day 1 Open House: Potential New Members will have the opportunity to visit all seven Panhellenic sororities and learn a little bit about each of them.

Day 2 Philanthropy Day: Potential New Members will choose their top four sororities that they would like to visit again during day 3. During this day, the Potential New Members will get to learn about each sororities' philanthropy and other events that go on during the year. They will hear from the Philanthropy Chairman to learn more about the national philanthropy each house supports. 

Day 3 Preference Night: Potential New Members choose their top two houses to visit. Each sorority has their own special Preference Ceremony in which each of the Potential New Members participate in. This is a very intimate and special ceremony as it is the very last stop before the Potential New Members choose their top choice!

Tips for Formal Recruitment

Look for the house you feel most comfortable in!
Be yourself- the girls are looking forward to getting to know YOU, pick the chapter that best matches your personality, don't try to match theirs.
Keep an open mind- dismiss the stereotypes and form your own opinions about chapters and Greek life in general.
Get to know the chapters- don't be afraid to ask questions, girls will be more than willing to answer any questions you have.
Try it out - even if you're unsure about going Greek, give it a chance, if you decided not to go Greek you have at least had the opportunity to meet new friends.
Trust the process- sorority recruitment is well thought out in order to give every girl an equal chance to find their perfect house.
