To become a new member a woman must sign a registration card, a Membership Recruitment Acceptance Form and an information release form in addition to paying the affiliation fee. At orientation potential members will be asked to sign a recruitment participation form that will be filed with the Greek Council office. The Membership Recruitment Form details that if a potential member does not receive a bid from the sorority of her first preference, she will be willing to accept a bid from her second preference. A potential member cannot change the order of her preferences once they have been submitted to the Panhellenic Council. Potential members withdrawing from recruitment must give proper notification to her Recruitment Counselors.
Proper notification involves completing a withdrawal form.
There shall be a period of silence following the end of preference parties until the opening of bids. That means no contact, verbal or written, between potential members and sorority women. Breaking silence is a major infraction of National Panhellenic Conference Unanimous Agreements. Any potential member found in violation of Recruitment rules will be reported to the Recruitment Chair Committee and the Greek Coordinator for appropriate disciplinary action which could include removal from Recruitment. Potential members are required to attend all events which they receive invitations to at the time specified.
