Recruitment Events

The Panhellenic Council has a mandatory attendance policy.  This means that a potential new member is required to attend all recruitment events on their schedule. If a potential new member chooses not to attend a scheduled event and does not have an excused absence, she will be at risk of being removed from the recruitment process. Excused absences are limited to academic conflicts, illness, or a family emergency.  Conflicts beyond the three mentioned will not be accepted.  All excuses must be communicated to the Panhellenic team by sending an email to [email protected] or in person.

Panhellenic Info Nights are crucial for all potential new members. You will learn about the recruitment process and get all the information you need to know to have the best experience possible!  Potential new members will break into recruitment groups who will go through the process together.
