The Panhellenic Association is comprised of the six inter/national sororities:
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.
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.
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.
