Hello & Hotty Toddy!

Please be sure to read through this page in its entirety, as there is important information to consider.

This registration is for Panhellenic Primary Sorority Recruitment. If you are looking for IFC Fraternity Formal Recruitment registration, please click here. If you are looking for NPHC sorority Intake information, please click here.

Please be advised that a submission of a video link is REQUIRED when registering for recruitment. Please pay close attention to the following guidelines for video submission. 

•         All videos need to be uploaded via an unlisted YouTube link.

•         Videos may not contain any professional videography, musical overlay, titles, transitions, photos or stickers, editing, or anything of the sort. 

•         Videos should be taken in front of a neutral background, similar to a passport style photo.

The College Panhellenic Council reserves the right to request a new video if it does not meet the above guidelines. All updated videos must be re-submitted by July 14th at 11:59 pm. Failure to do so will result in the removal of the video from the PNM's registration.

In a moment when you begin your Panhellenic Primary Sorority Recruitment registration, you may notice that the registration page asks for some basic information, but not all. Because you will have just entered your University of Mississippi Web ID and password, the information from your University record will be generated into your Panhellenic Primary Sorority Recruitment registration after the majority of final transcripts have been processed in mid-June (after mid-June this information is usually updated on Friday afternoons by Fraternity & Sorority Life staff).

What role does CPH/FSL play in recruitment?
The College Panhellenic Council and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life facilitate the logistics of recruitment. This means that we ensure recruitment events can happen on campus effectively. We plan convocation, work with the chapters to set event times, facilitate selection on Campus Director, plan Bid Day, and more! While we facilitate the logistics of recruitment, it’s important to know that neither CPH or FSL make any membership decisions on behalf of the potential new member or the chapter. More so, we are not able to know why certain membership decisions are made. Those remain confidential to the individual PNM or the chapter and are not shared with us unless deemed appropriate by the PNM or the chapter.

Academic Standards
It is a policy within our University that all students interested in joining an organization within the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life are enrolled in at least 12 credit hours and hold a 2.7 cumulative GPA. Any potential new member who does not have a 2.7 GPA at the time of registration closing (July 14th, 2024) will not be permitted to participate in the 2024 primary recruitment process. To read more about this policy, you can refer to the M Book, policy DSA.DS.400.005.

First-year students or students with less than 12 college credit hours will use their final cumulative high school grade point average as reported by their high school.  Students with more than 12 college credit hours will use their college cumulative grade point average as reported by their academic institution. To help students understand how their GPA may affect their Primary recruitment experience, Panhellenic Council created Grade Zones to show how academics may factor in Primary recruitment. 

*GPA Zones

• Green Zone = Your options are not likely limited based on your GPA. (3.0+)

• Yellow Zone = Your options are more likely to be limited by your GPA. (2.8 – 2.99)

• Red Zone = Your options are very likely to be limited by your GPA. (2.7-2.79)

*All chapter GPA Requirements in order to join range from a 3.0 to a 3.25. 

If you have questions regarding the GPA that is on file with the University or questions about how GPAs are calculated, please contact the Office of Admissions by emailing admissisons@olemiss.edu or calling 662.915.7226

Recruitment Participation Costs

There are several costs associated with participating in recruitment. Payment is required at the time of completing registration. The various fees are as follows: 

$150.00 Recruitment Registration Fee: This fee is required for every student that registers for recruitment and covers the cost of participating in the process. This fee includes T-Shirts, a Tote Bag, access to our recruitment software, Convocation Programming, and Bid Day Programming. The recruitment registration fee is solely used to provide resources to those participating, and does not ensure an invitation to membership for any organization.

$168.00 Early Meal Plan Fee: This fee is required for every student that registers for the recruitment process and ensures that all Potential New Members (PNMs) are able to eat on campus during recruitment week. For more information regarding meal plans, please visit www.olemiss.campusdish.com.

$100.00 Early Move In Fee: This fee is required for any students living on campus, including in any off campus apartments that are owned and under agreement with the University of Mississippi . This fee allows Housing and Residential Life to prepare the facilities ahead of time and provide support during early move-in for PNMs. For more information regarding housing on campus, please visit www.studenthousing.olemiss.edu

Because both are required for any student participating in recruitment, the registration fee and Early Meal Plan fee will be collected together, totalling $318.oo. If you are living on campus, including in any off campus apartments that are owned and under agreement with the University of Mississippi, you will also be required to pay the Early Move In fee, totalling at $100.00. The recruitment registration fee ($150.00) is non-refundable under any circumstances. This includes withdrawing registration before attending the university, being removed due to ineligibility, being withdrawn or released from the process during the week, or not receiving a desired outcome at the conclusion of recruitment.  If a PNM chooses to withdraw before or during recruitment, or is released from the process, they can contact Housing and Residence Life and Contractual Services to explore refunding the Early Meal Plan and Early Move In fees.

As a reminder, you are about to register for Panhellenic Primary Sorority Recruitment.
