COVid-19 and Recruitment

On behalf of the NYU Panhellenic Council, I would like to address how COVID-19 has affected our current operations. At this time, we are waiting for official statements to be made by the government and NYU before opening up recruitment registration. However, do not be discouraged by the delays, because we can confirm that regardless of how we proceed with recruitment, we will absolutely be taking new members in the Fall! In the meantime, please fill out our recruitment interest form, which will allow us to gauge interest in fall recruitment . It will also grant you access to live updates regarding how recruitment will be operating this year and when registration will be available. Additionally, we will most likely be hosting a formal recruitment in the spring, which you can find more information about in the section below.

Formal recruitment


Hi everyone! If you’re interested in joining a Panhellenic Sorority here at NYU, keep reading! Every year, we host Formal Recruitment, which is your chance to really get to know the women of each organization. The process as a whole aims to help you find your forever home with one of our amazing sororities on campus! Take a look at the "Our Chapters" page for more information on each sorority! 

Formal Recruitment lasts four days total, and spans across two weekends. Each day, you will learn about the philanthropy, sisterhood, and values that make each of our organizations unique. On the first day of Formal Recruitment, you will meet women from all seven of our sororities. Each day following, you will attend fewer organizations through a mutual selection process between you, the potential new member, and each of the organizations. For example, you could potentially meet women from all seven organizations the first day, six the following day, four the next day, and two on the last day. Following the last day of Formal Recruitment is Bid Day, in which you will receive a formal invitation, also known as a bid, to join one sorority!

If this process sounds overwhelming, there is no need to worry, there is an orientation prior to Formal Recruitment in which we will explain everything in further detail. You will also get a recruitment counsellor, or Rho Gamma, which is a woman who is temporarily disaffiliated from her current sorority to assist YOU throughout the entire process! She will be there to offer you unbiased advice, answer all your questions, and support you through your own journey to find your home.

We look forward to meeting you!
