    Fall Informal Recruitment

    Informal Recruitment, also known as Continuous Open Bidding (COB), takes place during the first few weeks of the fall semester. Because first-semester freshman are not allowed to join a fraternity or sorority, this is only an option for upperclassmen.

    In order to maintain a healthy Panhellenic sorority community, the College Panhellenic Council strives for parity in membership among all their member organizations. Due to this, not all Panhellenic sororities  will be able to recruit interested women in the fall. To express interest in informal recruitment please fill out the Interest Form on the website.

    Spring Primary Recruitment

    Primary Recruitment is a fun and exciting process that provides structured opportunities for interaction between sorority women and potential new members (PNMs). During the week of recruitment you will get to visit each sorority at least once. Each chapter hosts nightly events throughout the first three days, at which they provide information about themselves and get to know you better – the best comparison we can provide you to understand the structure is that it is like speed dating sorority women, seriously though.

    Deferred Recruitment

    Because the University of North Georgia believes that first-year students need to focus on academics first to ensure the most successful transition to college possible, we practice what is known as Deferred Recruitment. This provides the opportunity for first-year students participating in recruitment to become accustomed to college classes, get involved in other activities, and make friends before joining a fraternity or sorority. Deferred Recruitment also offers a better opportunity to learn about the commitments and meaning of sorority and fraternity membership prior to joining.

    Also, please feel free to join our portal on UNG Connect to be included on updates.

    Eligibility Requirements

    Fraternity and Sorority Life at the University of North Georgia is located at the Dahlonega Campus, but any UNG student who meets the below criteria may seek membership.

    To be eligible to seek membership in a fraternity or sorority at UNG, the student must be enrolled in a baccalaureate or associate program. In addition, they must meet the following criteria before pursuing membership in a fraternity or sorority:     

    • 2.5 minimum GPA (some chapters do expect higher as designated by their Inter/national and local policies) 
    • Must have completed a semester of college while not concurrently enrolled in high school
    • Cadets must be off Quarters (2.5 GPA and 14 credit hours) 
    • Letters of Recommendation

      Recruitment recommendations are in no way required for participation in sorority recruitment, but if you would like to provide them, each organization has a different format for receiving recommendations. Please contact the organization directly for information regarding submitting recommendations.

    • Recruitment Counselors

      Recruitment counselors are sorority women who assist potential new members through their formal recruitment process. All women participating in formal recruitment will be assigned to one or more recruitment counselors in small groups as their point of contact and a source of support.
