rush schedule

Hey you can check out the rush schedule on the panhellenic website. They list everything thats going to happen each day.

The first event is a mandatory Recruitment Convocation held on campus before recruitment rounds begin. The suggested dress is casual. Potential New Members (PNMs) will not be meeting sorority women at this time. You will meet and be introduced to the Executive Board for Panhellenic and the Panhellenic recruitment counselors (Pi Chis) that have worked long and hard for recruitment to be a huge success. All questions will be answered and schedules for the week will be distributed at this meeting.

During Open House Round, each PNM will visit each of the nine participating sororities for a 20 minute meet-and-greet type event. Open House Round will take place over the first two days of recruitment.

The next day, Philanthropy Round, is the first day of invitations to recruitment events. Each PNM may visit up to six parties lasting 30 minutes each. In this round, the PNM will participate in an activity (usually making a craft) that will support each individual chapter's philanthropy. This is wonderful opportunity to ask more in-depth questions about the philanthropy and service projects of each sorority.

The next day of invitations, Sisterhood Round, consists of up to four parties per PNM lasting 40 minutes each. This round is where most chapters do a presentation of some kind that gives insight into the sisterhood bonds that exist between the members. PNMs should continue to ask questions about sorority life in general and each specific chapter. The sisters will help answer your questions by sharing their personal feelings about their individual chapter experience.

Preference Round consists of each PNM visiting up to two parties lasting 45 minutes each. The sorority members will explain to PMNs what it means to be a member of their sorority and what their sorority could offer the PNM. During this round, Panhellenic encourages PNMs to think back on the previous rounds and recall what they liked best about these sororities and why they would choose to join a particular group. When choosing a sorority, keep things in perspective.

The last day, Bid Day, is when PNMs may receive up to one bid (invitation to join) from a chapter. If the PNM accepts the bid, they will be a new member of that chapter from that point forward. However, new members will not be initiated into the chapter until weeks after Bid Day.
