The recruitment guidebook contains all of the important information PNM's need to know about fall formal recruitment, financial transparency, what to wear, and each individual chapter! Find the guidebook here:

PNM Move-in is August 9th. Once you register for Fall Formal Recruitment, Panhellenic will contact KU housing to help assist all PNM’s with early move in.

If you are living in off campus housing it is the PNM’s responsibility to coordinate their move-in date.

August 9th-August 16th

Recruitment starts a week before classes begin. Schedule announcements will be made on our Instagram @kupanhellenic

Letters of recommendation are OPTIONAL and do not impact a PNM’s ability to get a bid.

Physical addresses on our website under the Letter of Recommendation tab.

Do not send in more than 2 letters of recommendation to a chapter.

Get letters of recommendation in by July 28th.

Letters of recommendation do not have to be written by a KU alumna but typically do need to come from someone in that organization.

The purpose of letters of recommendation is for chapters to get to know you before recruitment starts, and does not give you an advantage to any chapter.

Many of our chapters require a certain GPA in order to receive an invitation for membership, which is why we include it in our guidebook. However, there is no minimum GPA requirement to go through the recruitment process, but your GPA may impact the number of invitations you receive. Keep in mind there are many factors that go into a chapter's decision to invite an individual back and these numbers do not automatically disqualify you from membership. So it is not the most important deciding factor for a chapter but can play a role in their decision process. PHA will reach out to all PNMs who register and have a GPA below all chapters requirements. COR is also a great option for PNMs who want to take additional time to raise their GPA

The SW 301 course is a required credit that all members of the Panhellenic community are required to take. The University of Kansas Panhellenic Association has passed a standing rule giving new members access to a gender-based violence prevention training seminar.

The seminar was created in conjunction with the Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center SAPEC) and the members of the Panhellenic Executive Board. Participation in this course will eliminate all weekend and evening training obligations new members previously had, in order to get the information in a more feasible way.

Yes! PNM scholarships will be given out this summer to assist in recruitment registration fees. These fees will cover the registration cost as well as either early move-in to residence halls OR a pre-paid dining plan. Students will be reimbursed for these when they check-in. Apply for the PNM Scholarship HERE

At the end of each round, PNMs will work with their recruitment counselors to preference (in order) the sororities they wish to return to the next day. This is done through a phone app! On the other side, chapters will be doing a similar process where they choose which PNMs to bring back to the next invitational. This is known as a “mutual selection” process.

As you explore the exciting opportunities of joining a Panhellenic sorority, we want to share important information regarding how organizations should engage with you before and throughout the week recruitment (August 9th- August 16th) on social media. 

You may notice that some sorority members or chapters may follow, like, or even message you on social media. While this outreach can feel exciting, it’s important to understand that these interactions are not an invitation to join a specific chapter or a guarantee of anything related to an invitation to the next round or membership. Any outreach you receive should be focused solely on positively promoting the overall Panhellenic experience — sharing the value, opportunities, and lifelong sisterhood that sorority life offers — not on promoting one specific organization over others. It’s also important to know that not receiving social media outreach is completely normal and has no reflection on your potential to find your home. Every PNM’s experience is different, and recruitment decisions are not based on social media engagement at all. If you happen to know a current member of a chapter here at KU you can reach out to them with questions, however, the Panhellenic team and Recruitment Counselors have the most knowledge about all chapters and the recruitment experience in general. You are welcome to message KU_Panhellenic  or your recruitment counselor on social media at time!

If at any time you receive messages that promote one organization, disparage another organization or member, or make you feel uncomfortable in any way, please let your Recruitment Counselor know immediately. Your experience should be positive, supportive, and fair, and your Recruitment Counselors are here to help ensure that happens.

We encourage you to enjoy learning about the bigger picture of Panhellenic sorority life, stay open-minded, and trust the process as you meet all of our incredible chapters during recruitment. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to Kelly Scherquist at ku.pha.cor@gmail.com.
