Letter from the VP of recruitment Greetings Clemson <strong>Parent</strong>s! Welcome to Clemson University! I am beyond excited to have your daughter here and participating in Clemson Panhellenic’s Fall Recruitment 2016! This is an exciting time for her as a college student, and we can’t wait to be a part of it. The sorority experience has given me many wonderful memories, friendships, and opportunities. I hope it will do the same for her! Clemson Panhellenic’s Fall Recruitment process has been carefully planned to provide your daughter with knowledge about the Panhellenic community, a chance to meet new friends, and time to adjust to Clemson’s campus. Our goal for her during recruitment is to simply have fun and learn more about our incredible community. Over these two weeks, nearly 1,200 young women will be able to meet each sorority and see that they all share common goals and values, yet each chapter has its own individual personality. Choosing which sorority is best for her will not be an easy decision, or one that should be taken lightly. It is important for each young woman to make the choice that challenges her and allows her to be herself. When discussing recruitment with your daughter, I ask that you remind her to choose what will make her the happiest. I hope that your daughter enjoys Clemson Panhellenic’s Fall Recruitment process and I encourage you to reach out to me with any questions. I wish you all the best of luck throughout your years involved with Clemson University. Go Tigers! Annalise Winters Panhellenic VP of Recruitment
WHAT IS PANHELLENIC SORORITY RECRUITMENT? Clemson Panhellenic’s Sorority Recruitment is a chance for your daughter to become a member of an organization that reflects her values and allows her to begin to shine on Clemson’s campus. The fall recruitment process begins on Friday, August 19th and concludes on Bid Day on Monday, August 29th. During this time, your daughter can attend four formal rounds of recruitment, all on the weekends, and gather a sense of which sorority is the best fit for her. Each recruitment round helps potential new members and sorority members acquaint themselves with one another. Throughout the rounds potential new members talk one -on -one with sorority members. Presentations and videos will provide information about each sorority’s activities, personality and values. Membership selection is a mutual process where both potential new members and chapters consider several factors when making decisions. Throughout the recruitment process, potential new members will prioritize the chapters they are interested in returning to visit and the sororities will also prioritize who they wish to ask back for a return visit. After the last round of formal recruitment, potential new members will then list their membership preferences in order. During this time, the sororities will also be doing the same thing. Following the Preference Round each potential new member will sign a Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement. On this agreement she may list up to three sororities of which she attended preference parties for that she would be interested in joining. We encourage all women going through the recruitment process to keep an open mind and maximize their options, which will increase their opportunity to receive a bid from one of our sororities. If your daughter lists a sorority on the agreement, receives a bid and chooses to decline she will not be able to join another National Panhellenic Conference sorority on campus until the next formal recruitment period in the following fall.
