Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment

Formal Recruitment is the main process the National Panhellenic Conference sororities at Baylor University use to recruit new members. The recruitment process starts in the fall semester with orientation, registration, Panhellenic Preview, Meet your Gamma Chi's and various other opportunities to meet sorority members.

All women interested in participating in the recruitment process must register with the Baylor Panhellenic. 

Formal Recruitment at Baylor is deferred to January. Eligibility of all women registered for recruitment is based on their academic performance at Baylor during the fall semester (please refer to the Grade Requirements for specific information). During the recruitment events, women will have the time to ask questions about sorority activities, financial obligations, new member programs, scholarship, community service and sorority life in general.

Participating in Formal Recruitment does not obligate a woman to join a sorority, nor does participation in the recruitment process guarantee that a woman will receive a bid to join a sorority.

Mutual Selection Process of Recruitment

Panhellenic recruitment is a mutual selection process, which means that both the potential members and the individual sororities are making choices. Potential members will make decisions regarding where they would like to return the following day and the sororities will make decisions regarding the women they want to invite to their parties. Potential members need to understand that they may not always get invited to the parties they would like to attend. Baylor has many amazing national sororities on our campus. Each sorority deserves consideration. The potential member needs to ask the question if it is more important to be a member of the Greek system or a member of a certain organization. Potential members need to understand that a few members of a sorority cannot speak for the entire organization. Impressions they may get from members during the fall or formal recruitment need to be weighed lightly. Many potential members set themselves up for disappointment by putting too much emphasis on what a few members have lead them to believe.
