Read up on our website about our chapters, community & campus programs within Greek Life. It will help you prepare to ask questions during recruitment.

We DON'T recommend relying on Tik Tok, YouTuber or Influencer videos about "my recruitment experience" -- every individual experience is different and even from other campuses, they can run recruitment differently. Reach out to one our Panhellenic Officers to get your questions answered, or talk to your recruitment counselor when she is assigned to you this summer.
