2022 SPRING RECRUITMENT
Formal recruitment, which takes place in the spring, is the process by which active members of our 9 NPC member chapters meet potential new members (PNMs) interested in joining the Panhellenic community. PNMs have the opportunity throughout this process to discuss with current members their sororities' values, ideals, and activities. The formal recruitment period consists of four rounds: Welcome, Sisterhood, Involvement, and Preference. Each round, PNMs will visit fewer houses in a mutual selection process. Following Preference Round, a PNM may be extended an invitation to join one of our chapters and attend its Bid Day celebration.
Below you can find information on registration, the recruitment schedule, a detailed overview of the process, and more.
This year, the Panhellenic Council, and its chapters will be conducting recruitment in a fully virtual
setting- based on the University’s postponement of in-person activities until January 18, 2022. Kickoff will be the afternoon of January 6th, and recruitment will follow on January 7th, 8th, 9th, 14th and 15th. This decision was made out of consideration for the health and safety of everyone involved in recruitment — we are excited to provide a safe and engaging recruitment process!
We are looking forward to meeting you all on January 6th! Please reach out if you have questions!
If you have any additional questions, please reach out to uscfsld@usc.edu or uscphcrecruitment@usc.edu
