If you join one of the 19 Panhellenic sororities at the Capstone, you also become a member of the Alabama Panhellenic Association The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) was founded in 1902 and is the governing organization for 26 inter/national women ’ s fraternities and sororities. Each member group is autonomous as a social, Greek letter society Members are represented on more than 600 college and university campuses in the United States and Canada, and currently there are more than 5,300 alumnae associations comprised of over 3 million sorority women

WHAT TO EXPECT AS A NEW MEMBER

STUDY HALL HOURS: Each chapter requires a certain number of study hall hours to be completed each week during your first semester at UA Sororities also implement a number of educational programs to assist members in their academic pursuits

PANHELLENIC EVENTS: APA gives the opportunity for new members to attend various educational events throughout the year. These events address relevant issues students face today and will help with their transition into college and Greek life.

PHILANTHROPY EVENTS: Each chapter enjoys serving its national and local philanthropy. Philanthropy events are hosted to promote unity within the chapter and the Greek community while helping a worthwhile cause.

RECRUITMENT EVENTS: In the spring, chapters host recruitment workshops to help their members prepare for next year ’ s Fall Primary Recruitment

As a new member, you will have the opportunity to attend these events

ACTIVE PARTICIPATION: As a new member, you will be required to attend new member meetings in addition to chapter meetings You will also be encouraged to participate in Greek or Campus-wide events such as Homecoming These events are not only fun but provide an opportunity for you to meet other members of the Greek community

Each chapter has programming during the new member period to help their new members adjust to college life

22

Greek-letter organizations were founded on the principle of exceptional scholarship, and each sorority at UA recognizes the importance of scholastic success In order to remain an active member, women must maintain their grades throughout membership

Panhellenic women at UA excel in the classroom and provide additional programs and resources to help you achieve your academic goals. Most chapters have study hall hours to assist you with time management and tutoring programs to create an environment in which you can succeed. Scholarships are also offered through the Alabama Panhellenic Association, individual chapters, NPC, and many local Alumnae Panhellenic Associations.

The four-year graduation rate for Greek students is higher than their unaffiliated peers. The academic performance of all members within the community is tabulated every semester to determine an “All Panhellenic” grade point average The “All Panhellenic” GPA has been higher than the “All Women” undergraduate GPA since 1927 To learn more about our academics please visit ofsl sa ua edu

Leadership opportunities are endless within the Panhellenic community. As a chapter officer or leader, you practice effective management and communication skills. You will have opportunities to experience different roles in the chapter, from handling finances for a philanthropy fundraiser, to greeting guests during an alumnae dinner. Each chapter also provides educational opportunities to help you refine your time management, leadership, and organizational skills.

Striking a balance between academic and co-curricular activities is an important part of student life Campus involvement provides a well-rounded college experience Sororities value leadership, and likewise encourage their chapter members to become involved across campus

Greek life is a direct springboard into other campus involvement. This includes student government, special interest organizations, honors societies, homecoming, university ambassador programs, pre-professional organizations, and over 600 other campus groups.

Going Greek also provides members with an invaluable network when seeking employment and career opportunities. Greek alumni/ae understand the Greek experience of being both an individual and a team member, desiring to excel both in and out of the classroom, and committing to give back to the community Through interactions with Greek alumni/ae, you can begin building relationships that make a lasting impact

Philanthropy events at UA demonstrate Greek women ’ s interests and concerns extend far beyond their own chapters. Sororities give back to the community by sponsoring events throughout the year that benefit different causes. Our members raise money and donate their time to both their national philanthropies and the local community.

Sorority members actively participate in their own chapter’s philanthropy events as well as support other chapters’ service efforts Each semester, there are numerous hands on opportunities in which Panhellenic women participate These include cookouts, pancake breakfasts, sporting events, 5k runs, mentoring programs, and many more service-based activities planned by various councils and organizations within the Greek community

The Alabama Panhellenic Association supports campus and community needs by holding events such as Trick-or-Treat on Sorority Row, Holiday Tree Decorating on Sorority Row, and the Easter Egg Hunt at the President’s Mansion. We support initiatives such as Tuscaloosa SAFE Center, Circle of Sisterhood, Beat Auburn Beat Hunger, Gamma Peer Educators, and many others on campus, in the community, and throughout the state. You will encounter endless opportunities to support various philanthropies and provide hands on service.

ACADEMIC Requirements!

DOES GPA REALLY MATTER?

Although Panhellenic does not require a specific grade point average to participate in Primary Recruitment, each sorority has a minimum grade point requirement for membership With the large amount of women who participate in the Primary Recruitment process, GPA can be one of the first things that the chapters reference It is strongly recommended that you have at or above a 3 2 cumulative high school or college GPA.

FINANCIAL Obligations

Each chapter has financial requirements, which families should discuss before their student joins a sorority Financial requirements may include membership dues, a meal plan, house fees, as well as room and board if you live in the sorority house. It is important to note that membership fees vary by sorority.

NEW MEMBER FIRST SEMESTER: High: $4,700

Includes room, meals, and chapter/facility fees Average: $7,000

Greek Essential MEALPLAN

Given that the majority of the Panhellenic sororities have their own included meal programs, the University can update new members to the Greek Essential meal plan (at a cost of $623 per semester) when they join a sorority that has a full-service kitchen If you join a sorority with a full-service kitchen, the chapter provides 14 meals a week Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily Monday-Thursday, and breakfast and lunch are available on Fridays

The Greek Essential meal plan provides an average of 2-3 meals per week at the oncampus dining hall, perfect for weekends when the chapter is not serving meals Students who would like more than 55 meals per semester may change their meal plan to one of the following: Bronze (90 meals per semester), Silver (125 meals per semester), or an All Access plan

BAMA BOUND BAMA BOUNDOrientation

Bama Bound, the University’s student orientation program for new students and their families takes place during May, June, July, and August, is required of all new freshmen and transfer students. If you cannot attend any of the Bama Bound Orientation sessions prior to August, we strongly encourage you to register for the session on August 17. This session will overlap with one day of Panhellenic Recruitment during the Sisterhood Round, but in selecting the August 17th, you're decision affords Panhellenic leadership more flexibility in rescheduling your Recruitment events You will need to make note of this conflict on your recruitment registration form, when it asks if you “anticipate any conflicts that might prevent you from attending any of the recruitment activities.”

If you will be attending An August Bama Bound session, you will need to notify your Sigma Rho Chi of this conflict following Convocation to ensure it is possible for you to attend any of the parties you will be missing.

A student’s University registration is not complete until she has done the following:

Attended Bama Bound Created a class schedule

Settled their student student bill

If you have not participated in Orientation before you come to campus for Primary Recruitment, we suggest that you start a Bama Cash account by going to actcard.ua.edu (or call 205348-2288 during business hours).

RECRUITMENT WEEK RECRUITMENT WEEK Tips & Tricks

RUMOR HAS IT

Do not believe any of the rumors you hear, or things you may read on social media If it sounds too unreal to be true, then it probably isn't Feel free to talk to your Sigma Rho Chis or a Panhellenic Exec member about any concerns you may have

DESIGNER BAGS?

(no need!)

You won't be able to take anything into the sorority houses, so leave your nice purse or bag in your room This also means that your bag will be laying on the grass outside while you're attending parties. Keep that in mind when deciding what bag to bring with you during recruitment.

TENT TALK

Be careful what you say about other sororities to those around you. You should always be respectful of others' opinions, as you never know what connections someone has, or how they're feeling about a particular chapter.

HIGH STRESS

(and high humidity!)

It's August in Alabama and trust us, it will be extremely hot. Consider light-weight dresses and colors that won't show sweat. Comfort during Recruitment is KEY to reduce stress

ALL THE ESSENTIALS

Packing list: Extra pony-tail holders, bobby pins, hair brush, personal fan, portable phone chargers, band-aids, umbrella, oil blotting sheets, snacks, water bottle, deodorant, feminine hygiene products, makeup, pen, flip flops, mints, perfume, and a weather proof tote bag.

A look into RECRUITMENT WEEK

Recruitment at Alabama begins on Saturday, August 6, 2022, and concludes with Bid Day on Sunday, August 14, 2022 For many of you this will be your first impression of Tuscaloosa and Greek Life at The University of Alabama. We sincerely hope that you enjoy all that we have planned for you!

VALUES-BASED RECRUITMENT

We strive to focus on Values Based Recruitment in our Panhellenic community We emphasize academics, equality, inclusion, and service, and we encourage you to be conscious of these values this week. We also encourage you to consider which chapters have values that align with your own as you move through the recruitment process

The week of Primary Recruitment consists of four rounds of events, each structured to show you what each sorority has to offer. You will also have a chance to meet current sorority women in each of the chapters. Take the time to ask them any questions that you may have about activities, financial obligations, scholarship, new member programs, and campus life in general. It is very important that you keep an open mind during this process and carefully decide where YOU feel you fit best in the Greek Community at UA

Please recognize that Primary Recruitment at UA is a mutual selection process in that both the Potential New Members and the individual sororities are making choices. All Potential New Members will view videos from every sorority during the first round of Open House, but the remaining three rounds (Philanthropy, Sisterhood, and Preference) are by invitation only. Throughout the invitational rounds of recruitment, Potential New Members will be able to rank/preference the chapter-specific parties they wish to attend and the sororities will make decisions regarding the women they want to invite to their parties Potential New Members should understand that they may not receive invitations to all the parties that they would like to attend. While this may seem overwhelming, the Panhellenic Executive Board and Sigma Rho Chis will explain this process in detail at Convocation and throughout the week

30

ALL ABOUT ALL ABOUT Moving In!

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9 - FRIDAY, AUGUST 11

The online move-in sign-up process will begin in June 2023. Students who have registered for recruitment prior to June 1 will be able to sign up for an early move-in time through their housing application. Students who do not register before the online move-in signup system opens can email moveinhelp@sa.ua.edu for scheduling assistance Students who do not have a move-in time by late July will be assigned a time by Housing and Residential Communities (HRC).

At the end of July, all students will receive an email with their check-in date and time, driving directions, and a move-in parking pass sent to their UA Crimson email account. This parking pass must be used during move-in, so be sure to bring it with you

In order to make the move-in process as easy and efficient as possible, the number of students who can move in at each time during the day is limited Allowing students to continue to select move-in times that are already filled makes the process more difficult for families, students, and volunteers assisting with the process We appreciate your understanding and your selection of another time if your first choice is already filled.

Please arrive on your assigned move-in day and time. If you arrive outside of your assigned movein period, you will be directed to a holding area and will be required to wait until your assigned time or until move-in operations have ceased for the day

Early move in for women participating in Panhellenic Recruitment is from Wednesday, August 9 through Friday, August 11. Should move in plans be changed, students will be formally notified by email

OUTFIT OF THE DAY: Shorts!

Philanthropy Round is a great break before wearing dresses, so enjoy this outfit. While these days are much more casual, we do not recommend ripped or frayed shorts Additionally, you won’t want to wear anything too short, since you may be sitting on the floor in some houses.

SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

ABOUT THE MRABA

The document on the opposite page is the Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement (MRABA), formerly known as the “Preference Card” The MRABA is a binding agreement that is effective for one calendar year By signing this document, you as a Potential New Member agree that you are willing to accept a bid for membership from any sorority that you rank on the MRABA.sorority that you rank on the MRABA.

Please note that if you receive an invitation to membership (a bid) from any sorority that you ranked on your MRABA, then you are bound to that group for one calendar year (August 2023-August 2024). Most importantly, if you receive a bid from any sorority that you have listed on your MRABA, and you choose not to accept it, you are not eligible to participate in Continuous Open Bidding (COB) in Fall 2023 or Spring 2024.

WHEN DO I SIGN THE MRABA?

If you receive an invitation to the Preference round, you will make your final selection at the conclusion of your last party Here you will rank the chapter(s) you visited on Saturday, August 20 in preferential order Once you complete your rankings, you will sign a copy of the MRABA Please note that once the MRABA has been turned in either electronically or in person to a representative of the Alabama Panhellenic Association, it cannot be altered or changed

Prior to signing the MRABA, you have several options to consider We suggest that you thoroughly reflect on these before signing your MRABA

MRABA OPTIONS

1. You may choose NOT to complete the MRABA, thereby withdrawing from recruitment. If you choose this option, you are eligible to accept a bid for membership from any sororities participating in Continuous Open Bidding. A small number of sororities may be able to recruit a limited number of women through the COB process after Primary Recruitment if their chapter is below the Campus Total; however, this is not guaranteed

2 You may choose to list any sorority whose Preference Event you attended and from whom you are willing to accept an invitation to membership (a bid) Please note that you should NOT rank a sorority on your MRABA that you are absolutely not willing to accept a bid for membership If you match with a sorority that you listed on your MRABA, it is important to note that you are bound to that sorority for one calendar year (August 2023-August 2024), regardless of whether you officially accept their invitation for membership or not

3. You may choose to limit your choices to just one sorority whose Preference Event you attended and you are willing to accept an invitation to membership. You must understand that if you choose to single intentional preference, then you are not guaranteed to receive a bid for membership Only Potential New Members who maximize their options and list ALL of the chapters that they attended during the Preference round are guaranteed to receive a bid for membership during Primary Recruitment

If you do not receive an invitation to membership (a bid) from any of the sororities that you have listed, you are eligible for Continuous Open Bidding.

39

RECRUITMENT WEEK Common Questions

DO I NEED TO GO TO ALL OF THE EVENTS LISTED ON MY RECRUITMENT SCHEDULE?

Yes! The objective of Recruitment is for you, as a Potential New Member, to learn as much as you can about the UA Panhellenic community and each of the chapters. By doing this you can make the best decision regarding membership If you intentionally miss an event you were invited to, you are not maximizing your options, and you will be released from the recruitment process.

WILL ALL PARTICIPANTS PLEDGE A SORORITY AT THE END OF RECRUITMENT?

Because Recruitment is a mutual selection process, there are many different outcomes to this process Participation in Primary Recruitment does NOT guarantee you an invitation to join a sorority, and it is possible to go through Recruitment and not pledge a sorority With that being said, annually over 90 percent of the women participating in Primary Recruitment at UA join a sorority at the end of Recruitment experience By comparison, the national average is 80-81 percent

WHAT IF I ONLY WANT TO BE IN A CERTAIN SORORITY?

Only wanting to be a member of one specific sorority, or only considering a few sororities, can severely limit a PNM’s options for membership and can lead to disappointment We encourage you to keep an open mind about the chapters and make a decision that is best for you and do not make your selections based on or others’ opinions.

IF I PARTICIPATE IN PRIMARY RECRUITMENT, AM I OBLIGATED TO JOIN A SORORITY?

Potential New Members who choose to participate in recruitment are not obligated to join a sorority. The Recruitment process gives women interested in sorority membership the opportunity to explore Greek life and to see if it is the right fit

IF I AM A LEGACY TO A SORORITY, IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD KNOW?

Panhellenic does not have any specific policies on legacies. Each sorority has their own policy regarding legacies, and it is up to each chapter to decide whether to offer membership to a legacy Likewise, legacies are not obligated to pledge the sorority to which they are a legacy Each Potential New Member is evaluated on an individual basis, and sororities are more likely to consider mutual compatibility versus a family connection It is also recommended that PNMs completely fill out their legacy information section when registering for Recruitment

WHAT IF I AM NOT A FRESHMAN AND I WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN PRIMARY RECRUITMENT?

A Potential New Member who graduated high school prior to December 2022 is considered an upperclassman Not to worry! You are still able to participate in Recruitment

40

PACKAGES & ARRANGEMENTS New Member

As a celebration of the end of a long and stressful week, some PNM’s will receive a new member package from family and/or friends. Chapters will provide their new members with a few gifts on bid day, these packages can be purchased ahead of time and delivered shortly after Bid Day to the new member’s new chapter and may be different than what the chapter gives. Local vendors will be offering Sorority New Member Packages and Arrangements for Fall 2023 Primary Recruitment New Member Packages are gift packages and/or flower arrangements congratulating a new member on joining a sorority.

The Packages are delivered to the sorority houses post Bid Day, often before the new members return from their retreats. In coordination with local vendors, each sorority has designated a specific time and date for New Member Package and Arrangements deliveries.

Individuals who wish to hand deliver sorority gift packages and/or flower arrangements to a new member on Bid Day will need to arrange on-site pick-up with the local vendor, as there will be no deliveries to Sorority Row on Sunday, August 20, 2023 For more information about Sorority New Member Packages and arrangements, we encourage you to reach out to our incredible sponsors.

LIMIT SOCIAL MEDIA

As much as we love social media and keeping up with all the latest trends, this week is all about YOU! Make this decision for you, and don’t let others influence you into one decision or another

TAKE A BREATH

You’ve got this! This week may seem like the end all-be all, but it's not! Keep an open mind and take a breath, you need it Consider downloading a mindfulness app, or identifying an exercise that can help you stay grounded in stressful situations

KEEP IT TOGETHER

When packing for each day of Recruitment, keep everything together That way when it's time to leave you won’t be scrambling to get out the door. Trust us, nothing is worse than running out the door unprepared for the day!
