Hey again! A panhellenic sorority refers to an organization part of the NPC, or the National Panhellenic Conference. The NPC is an umbrella organization for 26 sororities across the US and Canada, most of which are international as they have locations in both countries. The panhellenic sororities at Carleton are: Phi Sigma Sigma (Phi Sig), Alpha Omicron Pi (A O Pi) and Delta Phi Epsilon (DPhiE). They form the panhel council at Carleton! They all do recruitment together during the fall, which is what panhellenic recruitment is. Local sororities essentially refers to organizations that are not part of the NPC. For example, Tau Sigma Phi (Tau Sig) was actually founded in Ottawa and has since expanded to multiple Canadian universities like McMaster and Brock. Local sororities are generally smaller and less regulated (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) as they don't have the extra bureaucratic restrictions like NPC orgs do! They each hold their own recruitments. And it's completely fine to come to recruitment if you don't know members! I moved to Ottawa from a different city and knew absolutely no one at Carleton let alone in a sorority. I went through recruitment completely alone, and it's totally fine to not know anyone! I wish you all the best! :p
