If you are interested in becoming a member of a National Panhellenic Conference Sorority, you should do the following:
- STEP 1 - Register for Membership Recruitment with your College Panhellenic. Registration form and information should be included in your college registration packet or on the college/university website. Each college/university has a deadline for registration, so register as soon as possible.
Each campus has individual rules and procedures to guide the potential new members through the recruitment process. Check with your college for their additional requirements and deadlines as soon as possible.
- STEP 2 - Prepare a resume. Things to include would be your full name and contact information both home and campus address, if you know it, phone numbers, your parents names and address if different than yours, date of birth, high school name and address, high school honors/awards and activities, community activities, GPA, class rank, SAT/ACT scores, jobs held, hobbies, etc. Also list any Greek-affiliated members of your family, including fraternities.
Attach a recent casual picture of yourself. Pictures are not a requirement but highly recommended. It is suggested if you choose to include a picture it should be recently taken showing you as you would look during recruitment. The sorority members will use the picture to identify you during recruitment.
- STEP 3 - Obtain letter of reference/recommendation/RIF. This is a letter prepared by alumna to the collegiate chapter introducing you to her group. It is best to have a personal connection with the alumna you are asking to write this letter. It is the responsibility of the alumna to obtain her sorority form, complete and submit it according to her group’s requirements. Also present your resume and photo to the alumna.
- REMEMBER: It is the responsibility of the sorority members and NOT the potential new member to obtain references/recommendations. However, it is to your advantage to network among family, friends, teachers, and acquaintances to secure your own references/ recommendations. By doing so you are assured it is likely to be more personal.
Contact Atlanta Alumnae Panhellenic Association if you have any questions or need assistance about sorority recruitment.
