Values Based Recruit m ent<br />

As of 2015, the National Panhellenic Conference that<br />

oversees all College and University Panhellenic<br />

Associations announced that they would be<br />

switching from "no-frills recruitment" to "values<br />

based recruitment". These are the aims of values<br />

based recruitment:<br />

- Focus on conversations between chapter<br />

members and potential new members about<br />

organizational values and member<br />

organizations.<br />

- Establish guidelines for membership<br />

recruitment budgets and set a cap on<br />

membership recruitment expenses, including<br />

the value of all donated goods and services.<br />

- Keep decorations to a minimum and confined<br />

to the interior space used for recruitment<br />

rounds.<br />

- Determine recruitment event attire for<br />

chapter members that reduces individual<br />

financial burden and eliminates costuming.<br />

- Eliminate gifts, favors, letters and notes for<br />

potential new members.<br />

- Eliminate recruitment skits.<br />

The aim of values based recruitment is to focus on<br />

the meaningful conversations that happen<br />

throughout the recruitment process, instead of all<br />

the superficial decorations. These decorations aren't<br />

going to determine if you find your home within that<br />

organizations, you find it through talking to the<br />

women, and getting to know the chapter.<br />

Each organization has unique and different values,<br />

but that is what makes each organization so<br />

different yet so similar to the other Panhellenic<br />

organizations. Each sorority looks to further their<br />

legacy, and to do so, they must keep to their roots,<br />

their values, that their founders instilled in them.<br />

They will look to find those values in you, so be<br />

confident, and let your true self shine!
