Recruitment 101

• The College Panhellenic has information available that tells you what to expect during recruitment, such as logistics, schedules and what to wear. 

• Some events will have more PNMs in attendance than others, and this is not a reflection of a chapter. 

• Ask questions when you do not understand. 

• You must attend all events for which you receive an invitation. 

• All NPC member organizations have policies against hazing. 

• Failure to attend an event may jeopardize your ability to receive invitations. 

• Being a group’s legacy does not ensure membership in that group. 

• Good scholarship is important to all groups within Panhellenic. 

• No chapter member may promise or imply the promise of a bid. 

• You should expect to be treated politely and with respect. 

• Accurate financial information regarding membership is given by Panhellenic in a cost range unless the individual groups provide specific chapter information to you. 

• You are expected to act politely and respectfully when attending an event. 

• Every woman attending a preference event must appear on that sorority’s bid list, but this does not  ensure an invitation to join that particular sorority, because recruitment is a mutual selection process. 

• You must be certain that you understand the membership recruitment acceptance binding agreement (MRABA) that you will be expected to sign immediately after attending the last preference event. 

• You may choose to limit or list only one choice on your MRABA, or you may list all the chapters where you attended preference events. 

• You may choose not to join a chapter and therefore not fully complete the MRABA. 

• Men and alcohol are not permitted during recruitment or Bid Day activities. 

• You must understand that if you list a chapter on your MRABA, are matched to that chapter and receive an invitation to membership, you are bound to that chapter until the next primary recruitment.
