PHC SORORITY RECRUITMENT


HOW TO JOIN


After the Primary Recruitment Process has concluded (September 16-20) the Continuous Open Bidding (COB) informal recruitment process will occur. Not all chapters are eligible and not all chapters will participate. Chapters will create their own recruitment events (in-person or virtual) and can hand out bids at any time. More information on COB recruitment schedules will be posted once PHC has received them.
​​
Gamma Sigma Sigma National Sorority can issue membership invitations to both men and women. At UMD, Gamma Sigma Sigma is a member of the Interfraternity Council (IFC) and does not participate in primary recruitment.

For more information about Panhellenic Primary Recruitment please contact Annabelle Paquin at paqui052@d.umn.edu.

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN


Sorority Provides Community 
Finding a community at college matters a lot – perhaps more than ever. Sorority can provide that sense of belonging in a new place. It’s about laughter, lifelong friendships and a family that has your back no matter what. 

Sorority is Accessible 
Sorority life welcomes women based on what they want to contribute to the world around them. Your values, what you stand for and what you want to do in life matters far more than where you come from or your socioeconomic status. 

Sorority Lets You Make a Difference in the Lives of Others
Being in a sorority is an invitation to help be an agent of change – in your community and in yourself. It’s an opportunity to embrace perspectives and experiences different from your own, while making an impact on campus and developing the leadership skills that can help you change the world – or at least your piece of it.

Sorority is Worth It 
Joining a sorority also pays off where it counts – with your future and your career. Sorority sisters not only provide a network you can draw from for internships and jobs, but they also can help push you out of you comfort zone and encourage you to take advantage of opportunities you might never have considered without their support. 

The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) has 26 NPC member organizations with nearly 400,000 undergraduate members across the U.S. and Canada.
  • More than 580 campuses have a chartered College Panhellenic Association (Panhellenic Council) and nearly 670 campuses have at least one established NPC sorority chapter (Alpha Sigma Tau and Phi Sigma Sigma).
  • On many campuses, the College Panhellenic is the largest student organization representing women and women’s issues.
  • More than $4.6 million in scholarships were awarded to sorority members in 2018-19 (16 member organizations reporting).
  • In 2018-19, collegiate and alumnae members together donated more than $17 million for inter/national philanthropy activity (13 member organizations reporting) and volunteered nearly 1.9 million hours for inter/national volunteer activities (14 member organizations reporting).
