Recruitment is a lot to take in all at once, and it’s different at every school!

Here are some basics on how we do things here at UMD!
PSR (Partially Structured Recruitment) is our recruitment process to help you find a sorority that best fits you!
Here at UMD we have 4 Panhellenic sororities: Alpha Sigma Tau, Beta Lambda Psi, Kappa Xi Delta, and Phi Sigma Sigma.
Over roughly 2 weeks, you will have the opportunity to attend events based on sisterhood, individual and unique philanthropies, and a ceremony based on the sorority’s values (invite only).
Open House: This is a great opportunity to meet with every chapter at UMD at the same time to get a feel for who they are in a fairly laid-back environment!
Sisterhood/Philanthropy: Chapters will host events throughout the 2(ish) weeks of Partially Structured Recruitment events which will allow you to learn specifics about who they are as an organization. These events are all going to be conversation based, this is for the members to get to know you, and for you to get to know them. These rounds are made to help you figure out who you mesh best with, and where you feel most at home!
Preference: This round is invite only and is a chance for you to see deeper into each organization as they share more personal information which will help with your final decision, this round also usually includes a ritual component which is special and sacred to each organization and its members!
Bid Day: This is when we do our exciting reveal and invite our new members home! After receiving an invitation to attend, you will come and we will have your future home in an envelope, after opening you will ‘run’ home and celebrate with all of your new sisters!
Requirements of a Potential New Member (PNM):
Attend at least 1 Sisterhood or Philanthropy round event from each chapter you wish to be potentially invited back to (although we encourage you to visit every chapter at least once!)
You must attend each chapter’s Preference Round event you’re invited back to.
Understand this is a MUTUAL selection process.
The sororities want to make sure you fit their values and want what’s best for you, but it’s also your choice as well!
BE YOURSELF!!!
