Open House - First Round of Recruitment
First Round of Recruitment Open House marks the beginning of the Membership Recruitment activities. Every potential member attends a 45 minute function with each of the three sororities. Recruitment Counselors will escort you to these functions. The Open House round will familiarize you with the Greek System and the benefits of “Going Greek.” Do not hesitate to ask questions about sorority life, scholarship, financial requirements, or leadership opportunities. Sorority members know that you may not understand all that sorority life involves.
