Responsibilities of the Panhellenic Association include the organization of developmental workshops, leadership training opportunities, the administration of rush and involvement in University and community service projects. Sorority rush is a series of parties and sorority functions organized to help young women who are interested in joining sororities. They learn more about each sorority at Western and find the one which best suits their interests.
Formal rush is held at the beginning of each fall semester.
This rush period continues throughout the school year. Academic requirements differ for each sorority and students are advised to completely survey the requirements of the organization that interests them. Rush brochures are mailed to all new freshman women during July. This organization's colors are azure blue and white. Alpha Gamma Delta was installed as the tenth national panhellenic group at Western on January 26, 1990.
