FAQ’s

About Panhellenic Recruitment

Recruitment Parties During the week of recruitment, there are three different rounds of parties that

occur. These parties give you an opportunity to learn about Fraternity and

Sorority Life at BW, as well as about the individual sororities. This is also an

opportunity for the members of the chapters to get to know you and educate you

about sorority life. Below are descriptions of the parties, as well as a brief

description of appropriate attire for each night.

Philanthropy/Social (Night 1-Wednesday OR Thursday)

During these events, Potential New Members will have the opportunity to get to

know sisters from each of the 5 chapters. This is a time to learn about each

chapter’s philanthropy, and meet several members in a more informal setting.

Take time during this part to ask questions to chapter members that you may

have to get a better understanding of what it is like to be a member of that

chapter and Fraternity/Sorority Life as a whole. Lite refreshments will be

provided for your enjoyment. Dress for this evening is business casual.

Sisterhood Night (Night 2-Friday)

During these events, Potential New Members will be invited back to certain

chapters. This is based upon mutual selection from the Potential New Member,

as well as the chapters. This is a night where chapters are going to showcase

their sisterhood and share in depth why they decided to become members. You

will learn more about how the chapter works (chapter meetings, events, etc.)

and gain a better sense of the chapter as a whole. During this night, it is

imperative to ask deeper questions to chapter members that may aide you in

finding that deeper understanding of what it really means to be Greek. Dress for

this event is business casual attire.

Preference Night (Night 3-Saturday)

Preference parties are by invitation only, and based on the mutual selection

process, Potential New Members will only attend 2-3 parties. This is a time

when PNM’s will gain a closer look at sorority life, each chapter’s sisterhood in a

formal setting. Dress for this evening is more formal, cocktail attire.

How do I decide which chapter to join?

Recruitment is a mutual selection process for the potential

new members and the chapters. Each night you will visit the

chapters, and as the week goes on you will realize which

sororities you feel a natural fit with, and the chapter members

will figure out which new members inspire them. You will fill

out a recruitment ranking each night outlining which sorority

you felt most comfortable and had the best interactions. This

is not necessarily a process that the chapters or the Potential

New Members are able to control, but it is one that requires

patience and trust. If you trust the process, all will end up

well.

How do I register for recruitment?

You can register for sorority recruitment online at

https://www.bw.edu/stulife/greek/recruit/sorority/. You

must be registered by September 14th to participate in

formal recruitment.

What is a legacy?

A Legacy is any

Potential New Member

who has a mother,

grandmother, or sister

who is/was a member of

a sorority while in

college. You should talk

to your family members

to see if any of those

respective individuals

were members of any of

the chapters on BW’s

campus.

I am hesitant about going

through recruitment,

because I'm not sure what to

expect. How do I know if

Fraternity and Sorority Life is

right for me?

You will never know until you try!

Try by going through Formal

Recruitment! You will get to meet all

the chapters, spend time with their

members, and see all that the

Fraternity and Sorority Community

has to offer!

What do sororities look for in their members?

It is difficult to pin point what sorority women are looking for. A

strong academic background is important to sororities since they

require a minimum grade point average. Sorority women are

looking for members who are compatible with their current

members. Most importantly, sororities are looking for members who

want to participate, be active, and stay active in the chapters.

Membership selection is not an easy task, and it varies from sorority

to sorority. Every chapter wants to add a diverse, comfortable, and

active group of new members every year. Just be yourself, and let

your personality shine.

What are the responsibilities of a

chapter member?

Chapter members are the sole reason that a chapter either thrives of

struggles. Members have several responsibilities including

attending events, paying dues, and being an active member and

leader in the chapter. Honestly, chapter members get out only as

much as they are willing to put into their chapter. There are weekly

chapter meetings usually held on Sunday evenings which members

are expected to attend. Each chapter also has their own

philanthropy and community service events, plus any social events

they create. Greek Council, CPC, and IFC create events for the

entire community, and there is always time for bonding and making

memories with your sisters.

The Interfraternity

Council Creed

We, the Interfraternity Council, exist to

promote the shared interests and values

of our member fraternities: leadership,

service, brotherhood, and scholarship.

We believe in Fraternity and that the

shared values of Fraternity drive the IFC

to create better communities, better

chapters, and better men.

We work to advance the academic

mission of the host institution, to enable

fraternal organizations to grow and

thrive through collaboration and

teamwork, to provide an outlet for self-

governance and accountability, and to

model and teach ethical leadership. In a

spirit of mutual support and betterment,

we, the men of the Interfraternity

Council, pledge to elevate the Ritual and

the values of the member organizations.

FAQ’s About IFC Formal Recruitment

How do I decide which chapter to join?

Recruitment is a mutual selection process for the potential new

members and the chapters. Each night you will visit the chapters, and

as the week goes on you will realize which fraternities you feel a

natural fit with, and the chapter members will figure out which new

members inspire them. Once you have fulfilled the 5 chapter visit

requirement, you are free to attend only the events you

wish to continue attending. There is not a specific way in which

members decide which chapter they will become members of, but if

you build strong relationships with the members throughout the week

of recruitment, you will find the place you will be able to call home.

What is a legacy?

A Legacy is any Potential New

Member who has a father,

grandfather, or brother who is/was

a member of a fraternity while in

members of any of the chapters on
