RECRUITMENT COUNSELORS
Recruitment counselors (RCs) are cross-affiliated active members who represent the larger Panhellenic community. RCs are the women who serve as mentors for prospective members and help guide PNMs through our recruitment processes. Our RCs are carefully selected through an application and interview process, and undergo training so they are best equipped to lead our potential members.
WHO ARE RCs and WHAT DO THEY DO?
Recruitment Counselors (RCs) are active sorority members who cross-affiliate during formal recruitment, meaning they temporarily step away from representing their individual chapters to focus on supporting the Panhellenic community as a whole!
Our RCs come from all nine Panhellenic chapters and are trained to serve as unbiased mentors, guides, and resources for PNMs. Their role is to help you navigate recruitment, answer questions, and make sure you feel supported and comfortable throughout the week.
YOUR PNM GROUP
At the beginning of recruitment, you will be assigned to a PNM group led by one RC! Each group typically consists of around 14 PNMs, although this number may vary depending on how many women register for recruitment.
Your PNM group will be your home base throughout recruitment week, giving you the opportunity to connect with other women going through the same experience!
Your RC will be there to:
-
Walk you through each round of recruitment and explain what to expect
-
Help you navigate your schedule, locations, and other recruitment logistics
-
Answer questions about chapters, recruitment rules, and the overall process
-
Talk through your experiences after each round and help you reflect on what matters most to you
-
Provide encouragement and support throughout the week
-
Help you feel connected to other PNMs in your group!
While your assigned RC will be your main point of contact, ALL RCs are resources for you! If you see another RC throughout the week and have a question, need help finding something, or just want someone to talk to, please don't hesitate to reach out.
UNBIASED SUPPORT THROUGHOUT RECRUITMENT
One of the most important parts of an RC's role is remaining neutral. RCs are not there to encourage you to join a particular chapter or influence your decisions. Instead, they are there to help you figure out what YOU are looking for in a sorority.
You can talk openly with your RC about your recruitment experience, including what you're excited about, what you're unsure of, or how you're feeling after a round. They understand what it's like to go through recruitment and are there to help you make decisions that feel right for you!
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR RCs
You may also meet some of our RCs during our fall PNM events, where they help answer questions and introduce prospective members to the recruitment process.
During formal recruitment, there will be opportunities to bond with your PNM group and get to know your RC. Many PNMs form friendships within their groups before even joining a chapter!
Remember: Your RCs are here for YOU! No question is too small, and you should never feel like you have to navigate recruitment alone. We encourage you to take advantage of this resource throughout the entire process!
