Formal Recruitment
Dear Potential New Member,
Welcome back to U.Va. for Formal Recruitment 2016!
As the largest women’s organization on Grounds, the In-ter-Sorority Council (ISC) is composed of over 2,300 women that span across all demographics of the University. Since the first sorority chapter arrived on Grounds in 1927 and the Inter-Sorority Council was established in 1975, chapter women have strived to be role models at the University of Virginia. It is our goal today to continue leading our Universi-ty community by example and we hope you will see that as you participate in Formal Recruitment 2016.
The ISC is one of the four Greek Councils on Grounds at U.Va. that combined make up approximately 30% of the un-dergraduate student population. While this is not even half of our community, it is easy to see the impact of Greek Life around Grounds through CIOs, community service, and oth-er events. Each chapter influences our University in a unique way. Each chapter is opening their home to you during For-mal Recruitment 2016 and each has something wonderful to offer. As such, we urge you to keep an open mind as you navigate your way through each of the chapter facilities. I hope that you will help us keep the tradition of the ISC alive by respecting each chapter and its women. The ISC prides itself on each of its member groups and we strive to foster unity and a sense of support between all of our chapters—particularly during Recruitment.
As you will soon find, each ISC chapter fosters the five pil-lars of sisterhood, service, support, scholarship, and stu-dent leadership. We strongly believe that membership in any of our Panhellenic chapters can positively contribute to your collegiate experience and lead to lifelong friend-ships. We are extremely excited to welcome Tri Sigma back to Grounds this Spring! We are confident that each of our organizations can provide you with a community of wom-en who share the values you do to enhance your University experience. Every chapter woman is so excited to meet you and share their experiences, so I wish you the best of luck as you begin this exciting process!
Sincerely,Allison PalaciosInter-Sorority Council President

Recruitment RegulationsContact Policy
From Move-In Day until Bid Cards are opened, the Inter-Sorority Council practices strict silence between the chapters and the Potential New Members. This means that no communication may occur between chapter wom-en and PNMs outside of rounds. Communication includes talking, e-mail, phone calls, texting, Facebook, etc. If any Greek woman attempts to break this policy, please report it to your Pi Chi, VP-Recruitment Margaret Haas (mdh3bz@ virginia.edu) or VP-Judiciary Katie Davis ([email protected]).
Bid Promising
Bid promising refers to a Greek woman promising guaranteed admittance to a chapter before Bid Cards are handed out. This is a significant and large violation on the sorority’s part. It is inappropriate for any woman to promise what she cannot guarantee and, in the process, unduly influence the PNM’s Recruitment experience.
Hazing
Hazing in any form is not tolerated at the University ofVirginia. “Hazing” refers to any activity that is expected or required of someone to join or maintain status within a group that humiliates, degrades, or risks emotional and/or physical harm, regardless of the person’s willingness to participate. Often times, those initiating hazing practices consider them harmless pranks or comical antics – here at U.Va., we do not see hazing this way. Hazing means to recklessly or intention-ally endanger the health or safety of a student or students or to inflict bodily injury on a student or students in connection with or for the purpose of initiation, admission into or affiliation with or as a condition for continued membership in a club, organization, association, fraternity, sorority, or student body regardless of whether the student or students so endangered or injured participated voluntarily in the relevant activity.
For more information, or to report hazing activities, please visit www.virginia.edu/hazing
For a more thorough list of recruitment policies, please visit www.virginiaisc.com/recruitment/recruitment-regulations/
Alcohol Policy
The use and/or consump-tion of alcoholic bever-ages is strictly prohibited during Recruitment. This includes going to bars,fraternities, or social events near or around the Corner area. Similarly, chapters may not supplyalcohol at any Recruit-ment event. Any PNM that directly violates thealcohol policy risks imme-diate removal from Re-cruitment.
Gifts
No PNM may accept any article from any chap-ter or chapter member during Recruitment. To ensure you do not violate this rule, be sure to not leave any round with any pieces from the chapter. This can include, but is not limited to: letters, flowers, gift boxes, food, water, tissues, etc.

Welcome to the ISC
We are currently the largest group of wom-en on Grounds with over 2,300 members in 16 sororities. The ISC at the University of Virginia strives to uphold the val-ues of integrity, loyalty, compassion, and humili-ty, upon which our orga-nizations were founded. Sorority involvement enhances the experi-ence of all current and future sorority women by providing resources and opportunities for scholar-ship, leadership, service, and social development in an atmosphere con-ducive to friendship and sisterhood.
Mission Statement
Our council’s mission is to support and promote the wellbeing of the 16 chapters of the ISC and their members, and to encourage positive inter-actions among chapters as well as with the larger Greek, university, and Charlottesville commu-nities. The Inter-Sorority Council strives to uphold the five pillars on which it stands: Sisterhood, Ser-vice, Scholarship, Sup-port, and Student Lead-ership.
THE 5 PILLARS OF THE ISC
LEADERSHIP
SISTERHOOD
ISC women have access to student leadership oppor-tunities within their chapters, the Inter-Sorority Council community, and on Grounds. ISC women are constant-ly encouraged to take charge of their undergraduate experience in the spirit of student self-governance by serving as community leaders, both within their chapter and in the larger U.Va. community. Because Greek wom-en consistently participate in extracurricular activities and lead some of U.Va.’s most prestigious and honored organizations, the Greek network available to ISC women provides them with connections to a range of leadership opportunities.
When a student joins an ISC sorority, she not only joins a single chapter, she joins a lifetime commitment to sister-hood. Sisterhood is the foundation of the Panhellenic inter/national organizations, and remains an integral part of the ISC. Not only do members of our community enjoy sisterhood within their local chapters, they also benefit from the network of sisterhood that spans across organi-zations. Furthermore, all members of the ISC community are bonded in Panhellenic sisterhood—a shared respon-sibility to support and uplift each other as Greek women through our actions, words, and community involvement. These strong bonds are established early in an ISC wom-an’s entry into the community, grow throughout her un-dergraduate experience, and will continue to serve and uplift her throughout her lifetime.
5
SERVICEService is an integral part of the Inter-Sorority Council at the University of Virginia. All chapters of the ISC support a na-tional cause or charity through weekly service opportunities and philanthropy events. Chapters work within their sister-hood and across chapters and councils to support various charities, ranging from medical research to youth founda-tions to women’s support groups.
SCHOLARSHIP
SUPPORTThe ISC Executive Board and all ISC chapters work to serve community members through various women’s concerns programming, which address important issues such as self-defense, health, domestic violence, mental health, academic programming, scholarship opportunities, and career and internship resources. In addition, all members of the Greek community strive to consistently support each other in day-to-day activities and endeavors, and continue this support beyond college in their lifetime commitment to sisterhood.
Scholarship is a priority of the Inter-Sorority Council and an area in which Greek women at U.Va. excel. ISC women consistently finish each semester with a community GPA that is higher than the overall women’s GPA at U.Va. Join-ing an ISC chapter provides opportunities for study groups, mentorships, and becoming part of a large and diverse group of women who value academic excellence.
Panhellenic Creed
“We, as Undergraduate Members of women’s fra-ternities, stand for good scholarship, for guarding of good health, for main-tenance of fine stan-dards, and for serving, to the best of our ability, our college community. Co-operation for furthering fraternity life, in harmony with its best possibilities, is the ideal that shall guide our fraternity activities.
We, as Fraternity Women, stand for service through the development of character inspired by the close contact and deep friendship of individual fraternity and Panhellenic life. The opportunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which we strive to live.”

Dear Potential New Members,
We are so excited that you are considering joining our Greek community! As the Panhellenic Counselor Co-Directors, We are responsible for training the Panhellenic Counselors and preparing them, as unbiased mentors, to help you, as a Po-tential New Member, through Formal Recruitment.
Every woman going through Recruitment is assigned a Pan-hellenic Counselor (Pi Chi) to serve as an unbiased mentor before, during, and after the Recruitment process. Pi Chis are disaffiliated members of the Inter-Sorority Council who went through a competitive application process and trained all semester to help facilitate the Recruitment process for all women participating in Recruitment. They are a valuable resource that you can turn to for help and advice when it comes time to make some of the hard decisions that are inevitable during Recruitment. Pi Chis have gone through Re-cruitment both as Potential New Members and as members of their respective chapters, so they are there for you and can answer any questions that you may have. We encour-age you to reach out to them whenever necessary.
We are confident that all of these women will help you have the best Recruitment experience possible!
If you have any questions related to the Panhellenic Coun-selor program, feel free to contact us at [email protected] and [email protected].
Sincerely, Shannon Crawford and Cristina GomezInter-Sorority Council Pi Chi Co-Directors

The Recruitment Process
Round Robbins gives you the opportunity to meet all 16 sororities over two days. For each round, you will spend 25 minutes with women from one chapter and have short, informal conversations with them. You often will encounter sorority women clapping when you enter and leave the parties. Each sorority looks forward to getting to know you! Please feel free to ask the women about their chapter, their philanthropies, involvement on Grounds and Greek Life in general. Each chapter has something unique and wonderful to offer.
You will have the opportunity to visit up to 11 chapters and learn about each chapter’s national philanthropy and local events. You will watch a brief video about the philanthropic organization and then hear from women in the chapter about their involve-ment with their philanthropy. You will spend a few minutes speak-ing with the women from the chapter after this. Please feel free to continue the conversation about service and what that means to them as a member of the Greek community.
Round Robbins
Philanthropy
Formal Recruitment at The University of Virginia uses a “mutual selection” process where both chap-ter selections and potential new member (PNM) rank-ings are considered in cre-ating a PNM’s Recruitment schedule and bid. This process has been imple-mented on a national level to ensure that the highest number of women possible are matched to chap-ters. The process works by scheduling all PNMs to see all chapters in the first round of Recruitment, known as ‘Round Robbins’, and steadily decreasing the number of chapters in later rounds of the pro-cess. This allows the PNMs to focus more intently on a smaller number of chapters at the end of the process versus the beginning.

You will have the opportunity to visit up to seven chapters and receive a tour of their beautiful chapter locations. You will have more time to speak with chapter women, ask more in-depth questions, and connect on a more personal level. Use this time to determine if your values align with those of the chapter.
house tours
Preferences, known as “Prefs,” is the most serious day of Formal Recruitment. You will visit up to three chapters for 60 minutes each. A woman from each chapter whom you may have met during the week will greet you and speak with you about sister-hood and what her chapter means to her. As you listen to their stories, think deeply about how you feel about that chapter’s values, if you connect closely with the women in that chapter, and if you see yourself in the chapter. This is your own decision, not anyone else’s.

Inter-Sorority Council Spring 2016 Formal Recruitment
Inter-Sorority Council Recruitment at the University of Virginia is not only a tremendous opportunity, but also a privilege. Each chapter on Grounds has been preparing over the past year for this process and is eager to welcome each Potential New Member (PNM) into their home. As an honored guest in chapter facilities and a registered participant in the Inter-Sorority Council organized Recruitment process, PNMs are expected to act in accordance with all the following Recruitment policies:
1. I pledge to be an enthusiastic, positive participant in the Recruitment process. I understand that Recruitment is an exciting but long process and that the Recruitment Executive team and chapter members are also under-going long days to help PNMs find their home within the Inter-Sorority Council community.
2. I will behave respectfully towards myself, other potential new members, chapter members, and university staff at all times. Specifically, I will refrain from slandering any of the above individuals during Recruitment.
3. I will attend all Recruitment events to which I receive an invitation.
4. I will act politely and respectfully when attending all Recruitment events and throughout the Recruitment period. This includes, but is not limited to, conversations during Recruitment parties, verbal and non-verbal inter-actions, and social media communications. I alone am responsible for my behavior and will act appropriately at all times.
5. I understand that if a situation occurs at a chapter or with an Inter-Sorority Council chapter woman that makes me uncomfortable or is against the Recruitment Regulations, I will report the incident to my Panhellenic Counselor. I understand that reporting a judicial violation will remain confidential and will not negatively impact my chances of membership with any chapters.
6. I understand that the consumption of alcohol and socializing with men are not permitted during the Recruit-ment process and Bid Day activities (January 12 – 19, 2016).
7. I will adhere to the National Panhellenic Conference policy regarding Strict Silence. Strict Silence applies to the period beginning with a Potential New Member’s first Preference Party and ending once Bid Cards are opened at New Member Convocation. During this time there will be no conversation or contact between Po-tential New Members and sorority members, alumnae or chapter representatives except at specified Inter-So-rority Council Recruitment events. Potential New Members may not discuss sorority members or chapters with other Potential New Members. As a PNM, I will adhere to this policy and I understand that Strict Silence allows Potential New Members to make decisions free from outside pressures and opinions of others.
8. I understand that if I am matched with a chapter and receive an invitation for membership, I am bound to that chapter and considered ineligible for an invitation to membership from any other ISC chapter for one cal-endar year.
9. I understand that upon accepting a bid of membership I will be responsible for the financial obligations as-sociated with affiliation. Potential New Members who are reported to be in violation of any of the Recruitment Regulations will be subject to a Recruitment Judicial Board hearing. Hearings will be addressed on a case-by-case basis and may result in dismissal from the Inter-Sorority Council Formal Recruitment process at the discre-tion of the Recruitment Judicial Board.
By signing the Potential New Member Contract (Print and Signature) I understand and agree to the terms listed above.
