We want to share what participants from Primary Recruitment 2024 had to say about their experience: 

“The College Panhellenic Council was very welcoming. They always went around to all of the groups and asked us how we were feeling and if there was anything they could do to help us.” 

“Every single member that I talked to was always very helpful, and they genuinely were there to listen to how I felt and make sure that before I left the conversation, I felt better or just more clear on my stance than when I began the conversation.” 

“I loved the positive rho gammas and people I met throughout the process. Connecting people with the same final core value of finding a home away from home was so fulfilling. Everyone expressed that in their own ways. I feel now in my chapter that I found my true home, making this recruitment process one I would share with anyone.” 

“I'm glad I got to meet a bunch of new girls and get outside of my comfort zone.”
