Greetings Potential New Members,

On behalf of the 20 chapters and over 3,500 women in the Panhellenic community, I want to welcome you as you begin an exciting journey of self-discovery and personal change through the sorority recruitment process, new member education, and active sorority membership. Membership in a sorority is a lifelong experience that allows you to get involved with sisterhood and women’s empowerment, not only through your local chapter here at Penn State, but amongst women throughout North America. Sisterhood will bring you sisters, best friends, role-models, and mentors through your experiences serving the community, connecting with fellow members of fraternities and sororities, raising money for philanthropic organizations, and leading the chapters and community. As a result of membership in a sorority, you will grow and change as an individual, but you will also have the opportunity to give back to your organization so that it too grows and changes with each new member class.

The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Compliance is made up of 20+ dedicated staff who focus on being national leaders in providing students with a premiere fraternity and sorority experience. It is our vision that we empower members of the community and to support each member in their learning and growth throughout their time in the Penn State fraternity and sorority community. The connection between the Penn State Values and the values of Frater-nity and Sorority Life guide our practice but looks different in our experiences working with each individual student.

This is a very exciting time to join a sorority at Penn State University, as our members have the opportunity to drive change and align the fraternity and sorority experience with the values of Penn State and each individual organization. As you look to join the Fraternity and Sorority Life community here at Penn State, we are excited for you to embark on this journey that will last the rest of your life.

We Are!

Chad Warrick, Assistant Director of Fraternity and Sorority/Panhellenic Advisor

Welcome Letter from the Assistant Director for the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life


We are so excited that you are interested in Panhellenic Recruitment! During your years at Penn State University, you will have countless opportunities to shape your own college experience. As you begin to make decisions about the right path for you, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with Fraternity and Sorority Life here at Penn State. Maria and I remember going through the recruitment process when we were potential new members. This experience granted us with confidence, friendships and amazing opportunities to be successful in our sororities, academics and in life. Without going through the recruitment process and joining our respective chapters, we would not be in the amazing leadership experiences we are in today. Our Panhellenic community is composed of twenty Panhellenic chapters that are filled with exceptional women who are involved in a variety of activities and organiza-tions across campus and the greater State College community. Our Panhellenic com-munity continues to be proud of our chapters that have empowering sisterhoods and encourage their members to strive for academic excellence and enrich their college experiences through service and philanthropy. If you choose to join a Panhellenic sorority, you will not only join an individual chapter, but also an entire community of women who are dedicated to academic excellence, sisterhood, and philanthropy. Even if you decide that joining a Panhellenic chapter is not for you, the recruitment experience will provide you with friendships that will last throughout your time at Penn State and beyond. Thank you for your interest in participating in Panhellenic recruitment, and we hope that through this experience, you will learn more about your own personal values and how membership in a Panhellenic sorority can further develop you into an empowered woman throughout college and beyond. We are so excited to help you find your home just like we did! I remember sitting in your seats admiring the Vice President for Recruitment four years ago and thinking of how I could be involved and help potential new members have a positive experience as I did. Now, I am honored to serve as the Vice President for Recruitment which could not have happened without the help of the recruitment process. Sincerely,

Madeline Anasiewicz Maria Juarez Vice President for Recruitment Assistant Director for Recruitment

Dear Potential New Member,

My name is Lucy Biberian and I am the VP for Membership on the Panhellenic Execu-tive Council. Over the past year, it has been my responsibility to interview, select, and train the 77 wonderful women that we have serving as Recruitment Counselors (more commonly known as Pi Chis). Recruitment Counselors are active Panhellenic sophomores, juniors, and seniors members selected through a competitive application and interview process to serve as mentors and confidants to PNMs before, during, and after primary recruitment. These women who have been selected to serve as Pi Chis have undergone an exten-sive 10-week training process on all different topics related to recruitment, in order to be prepared for all possible situations a Potential New Member might need help with. The role of a Recruitment Counselor reflects that of a counselor and also serves as a system of support to Potential New Members (PNMs) throughout the formal recruitment process. Because these women have filled both roles of a Potential New Member and an active Panhellenic sorority woman, Pi Chis have the ability to relate to the experience of undergoing recruitment and the knowledge to explain Panhellenic and chapter membership. During recruitment, Recruitment Counselors will advise and organize their PNM groups, administer schedules for each round, monitor the chapter floors to ensure that each recruitment party runs smoothly, and help Potential New Members navi-gate South Halls. Most importantly, they will ensure that Potential New Members are accounted for and taken care of. Following recruitment, Recruitment Counselors will continue to be a critical point of contact for Potential New Members. Recruitment Counselors have been trained on the importance of upholding the values of the National Panhellenic Conference and guiding Potential New Members as they make decisions throughout the recruit-ment process. I highly encourage each Potential New Member to take the opportunity to get to know her Recruitment Counselor and utilize their knowledge, experience, and support for the betterment of the recruitment experience and the Panhellenic community as a whole. Women selected to serve as Recruitment Counselors are role models of what the premier Penn State Panhellenic women embodies, and I am confi-dent in their ability to meet the needs of each PNM.

Sincerely,

Lucy BiberianVice President for Membership

Potential New Member (PNM) – A prospective new member of a sorority.

Primary Recruitment – Designated period in the Spring when Potential New Members and Panhellenic sororities get to know each other through parties. Primary Recruitment is a mutual selection process, which means that both the potential new members and the individual sororities are making choices. Potential new members will make decisions regarding chapters they want to revisit, and the sororities will make decisions regarding the women they want to invite to their parties.

Policies & RightsMandatory Attendance PolicyThe Panhellenic Council has a mandatory attendance policy during recruitment. This means that a Potential New Member is required to attend all chapter events to which she is invited. Potential New Members may NOT “pick and choose” the chapters they wish to attend on their schedule. If a Potential New Member chooses not to attend a chapter on her event schedule and does not have an excused absence, she will be removed from the recruitment process immediately.

Potential New Members must submit any academic or athletic conflicts to their re-cruitment counselor no later than January 15th at midnight. Panhellenic encourages chapters to invite back Potential New Members who miss parties due to conflicts, but there is no guarantee that a chapter will invite you back if you have to miss their party.

If a Potential New Member would like to withdraw from the recruitment process, she will need to reach out to her recruitment counselor (Pi Chi).

Signing and Accepting the MRABAIn signing MRABA, a potential new member is making a binding agreement that she will accept a bid from any of those sororities she lists in order of preference on her card. Furthermore, should a woman receive a bid from a sorority and she decides not to join the sorority, she will not be able to join another NPC sorority until the next Primary Recruitment.

C. You MAY NOT “bad mouth” or slander any sorority to any sorority member or other Potential New Members. All opinions should be kept between you and your Pi Chis. It is important for you to make the decision for yourself and keep an open and unbiased mind throughout the entire recruitment process.

a. A woman must obtain a wristband and required shirts for Primary Recruitment.

i. The wristband restricts her from attending social events and must be worn from when the woman pick up her recruitment t-shirts to when their pi chis remove the wristbands on bid day. If a woman’s wristband is removed prior they will be fined $50.

Penalties for Violating the Potential New Member Code of ConductAll violations of the Potential New Member Code of Conduct will be addressed by the Panhellenic President and Vice President for Recruitment. Violations may result in an array of sanctions ranging from a warning to removal from the recruitment process.

Hazing PolicyIf a member feels that she is being hazed or knows of a hazing incident, she should report it immediately to the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life. Any Panhellenic chapter found in violation of the Panhellenic Associated Hazing Policy will be subject to investigation and discipline by the Panhellenic Association and will have their Inter/National Headquarters contacted


Why Join a Sorority

LeadershipSorority membership offers more opportunities for leadership than many other organizations. Many sorority women continue to say that their organizations helped them enhance their leadership skills as they assumed positions of responsibility. These positions can be within an individual chapter or through Panhellenic as a whole, such as positions non junior Panhellenic, the Greek Week Overall Committee, or Greek Sing committee positions. Additionally, Panhellenic women participate in sports, honor societies, and student government. Moreover, they hold employment positions and assist with research.

Scholarship All chapters have a scholarship program that encourages academic development among its members. In fact, members often say that being in a sorority substantially enhances their ability to organize time and meet responsibilities. Sister-to-sister tutoring, encouraged study hours, incentives, and minimum GPA requirements are all ways chapters help their members succeed academically. The GPA for all sororities is consistently higher than the average for all women at Penn State. The minimum GPA requirement is a 2.5, however some sororities have individual requirements that may be higher than this standard.

Sisterhood When you join the Panhellenic community, you gain a network of lifelong friends. The Panhellenic community fosters a loving environment within and between all of our chapters. Through your individual chapters, you will build lasting friendships with your sisters during special traditions, bonding events, and more. These relationships will support you throughout your college career.


Philanthropy Throughout the year, chapters host a number of fundraisers in support of their philanthropies such as competitive tournaments, 5k walks, and collaborations with restaurants and jewelry brands. Panhellenic women participate in their own chapter’s events in addition to supporting other chapters in their fundraising efforts.

While each chapter has their own philanthropy, all sorority women also support Panhellenic’s national philanthropy, Circle of Sisterhood. The Circle of Sisterhood Foundation is a nonprofit organization that allows all sorority women to work together to make a difference in the lives of millions of girls and women around the world by advocating and raising money for quality education. In addition, each fall, Panhellenic organizes Philanthropy Week in which each chapter is responsible for planning an event in support of Circle of Sisterhood.

All members within Panhellenic engage in individual volunteer work as well as community wide service events. Most chapters participate in annual Panhellenic sponsored events such as Spring Egg Hunt, Fall Carnival, Greek or Treat, Panhellenic Day of Service, and more.

Penn State’s most notable philanthropy, the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON), was started by fraternity and sorority members and continues to be greatly supported by the fundraising and philanthropic efforts of the fraternity and sorority community.

Housing19 of our Panhellenic chapters reside on-campus in South Halls, with one chapter living in an off-campus house. Sorority living encompasses a cohesive community that values civic and social responsibility, mutual respect, and growth of organizations & their members. The environment provides a unique experience in leadership, commu-nity planning, and group interaction.

Sororities in South Halls have their own floor with a suite, individual bathrooms, and water-filling stations. Each sorority decorates their suite to their liking.

Chapters are eager to open their doors to potential new members once they complete the formal recruitment process. Once you have accepted your bid, reach out to your sorority assistant to easily transfer your contract to the sorority floor!

“I love living in the house! I've been able to become close with so many girls I wouldn't have normally and I've been able to meet my best friends by living with my sorority.”Brooke, Phi Sigma Sigma

“I love the benefit of spending every day with my friends. Every night we hang out together in the suite, either doing work together or just talking. We can talk about anything and everything together and I have a group of people that will do anything for me & I’d do anything for them.”Fran, Kappa Alpha Theta

“Living on the AXiD floor makes my sorority experience way more fun. I’m able to spend time with my sisters, get to chapter in the meeting room downstairs and sisterhood events in the suite so easily. Not to mention, South Halls is a great location on campus for walking to class and going downtown as well.”Zoe, Alpha Xi Delta

“It's awesome! I love being able to spend time with my best friends and be able to do life with them. Whether we are doing work, studying, eating or just hanging out, I always have my people near me.”Alexa, Sigma Delta Tau
