HOW TO JOIN - Formal Recruitment

PHC will be hosting Formal Recruitment in the spring 2013 semester from January 17th through 21st. The formal recruitment period is designed in a way that allows each potential member the opportunity to become acquainted with as many sororities as possible so that she may make a wise and unbiased decision concerning membership. Furthermore, formal recruitment allows sororities to recruit potential members on an equal opportunity basis under Panhellenic guidelines. Participating in Formal Recruitment is a wonderful way to meet new people at UT Arlington. Even if you decide not to join a sorority, you will gain fabulous memories and many new friends. Sign-up here. 

Each woman interested in joining a Panhellenic sorority must register for Panhellenic Recruitment prior to January 17, 2013 at 4:00 pm.

PI CHIS - WHO THEY ARE, HOW THEY HELP

Upon registration for recruitment, each Potential New Member is assigned a recruitment counselor (Pi Chi). Recruitment counselors are sorority women who have chosen to disaffiliate from their sorority during the recruitment period in order be a trustworthy resource and source of aid for the women going through recruitment. Since their sorority membership is unknown, Potential New Members should feel comfortable discussing their options and asking candid questions of their recruitment counselors. You should feel free to ask Pi Chis any questions you have before, during, or after recruitment.They are there to help! All of the recruitment counselors have gone through the recruitment process themselves and have many more sorority experiences to share.
