RECRUITMENT 101
Sorority recruitment is an exciting opportunity to find your home away from home. It’s a mutual selection process where Potential New Members (PNMs) get to meet and learn about each sorority, while sororities learn about you—and ultimately extend invitations to join their sisterhood.
PANHELLENIC RECRUITMENT ROUNDS
Round 1: Convocation / Open House
You’ll get an introduction to all Panhellenic chapters—this is your chance to start learning what makes each sisterhood unique!
Round 2: Philanthropy / Sisterhood
Chapters share the causes and values they support, as well as what life is like as a member. You’ll start narrowing your list of organizations.
Round 3: Preference
A deeper, more personal round where you connect with chapters that have left a lasting impression on you. These conversations often feel the most meaningful.
Bid Day
The celebration! You’ll receive an invitation to join a chapter—and officially begin your journey in sisterhood.
Throughout the process, keep in mind that recruitment is about finding where you feel most at home! We can’t wait to meet you, whether through Panhellenic recruitment or another opportunity with AOII.
POTENTIAL NEW MEMBER INTRODUCTION FORM (PNMIF)
How can you make an impact during formal recruitment? Members and non-members are invited to recommend a potential new member or introduce a legacy through our Potential New Member Introduction Form. A Potential New Member Introduction Form (PNMIF) is an easy-to-use, electronic form that allows introductions of potential new members to collegiate chapters prior to formal recruitment.
Do you want to share the outstanding achievements, leadership skills, or positive personality traits of a potential new member?This is how! Members and non-members are encouraged to submit an Introduction Form for Potential New Members who embody our values. The information provided in an Introduction Form can help enhance the consideration that potential new members receive for membership.
Are you a collegiate member and want to recommend a PNM to another chapter? Go right ahead! Collegiate members are more than welcome to submit an Introduction Form for AOII chapters other than their own. The PNMIF is not required by AOII to be considered for membership.
