Scholarship, academics, and grades are the pillars of college life and each sorority at UA recognizes the importance of scholastic success. Although Panhellenic does not require a specific grade point average to participate in recruitment, it is strongly recommended that you have at least a 3.0 cumulative high school or college GPA.
UA Greek women want you to do well in school and will provide informational programs to help you achieve your academic goals. Chapters have study hall hours to assist you with time management and tutoring programs to create an environment in which you can excel. Scholarships are offered through NPC as well as through local Alumnae Panhellenic Associations and individual chapters.

Swaps are informal parties held with a fraternity and usually have a theme such as80’s,toga,camouflage,disco,orfamouspeople.Sisterhood events are fun activities like movie nights, bowling, skating, etc., that are held for the members of one sorority.

24 Homecoming
Greek Week atTheUniversityofAlabama is a week set aside in the spring to promote unity, camaraderie and service within the Greek community. During Greek Week, members of all four Greek councils participate in friendly competitions and community service. Greek Week is one of the largest annualphilanthropiceffortsatTheUniversityofAlabamaandincludesbothsocialandcharityevents.Thisyear,thefocus of Greek Week was to give back to our community through service and charitable contributions with a goal of uniting the four councils by having them work and socialize together. Brandi Morrison, Vice President of Administration of the Alabama Panhellenic Association, planned this year’s Greek Week with the help from the Greek Programming Board. “Greek Week is a great chance to unite the four Greek councils through service, events and friendly competition,”saidMorrison.
fact:During Greek Week 2012, the Greek community raised $95,000 and completed more than 4,000 community service hours.
25Greek Week
Recruitment Week begins Friday, August 10, and concludes with Bid Day on Saturday, August 18. For many of you, thiswillbeyourfirstimpressionofTuscaloosaandGreeklifeatTheUniversityofAlabama.Wehope that you enjoy all that we have planned for you!
Theweekconsistsoffourroundsofeventsthatwill allow you to learn more about each sorority. Theeventswillshowyouwhatlifeinasororityislike and will give you the chance to meet sorority women in each house and ask any questions thatyoumighthaveaboutactivities,financialobligations, scholarship, new member programs, and campus life in general. It is so important that you keep an open mind during this process and carefullydecidewhereYOUfeelyoufitintotheGreek community at UA.
Please recognize that formal recruitment is a mutual selection process. While all potential memberswillvisiteverysororityduringthefirstround (Open House), the remaining rounds are by invitation only. As the sororities are narrowing down the number of women attending each round of events, potential new members
may only accept a certain number of invitations toeachround.ThePanhellenicexecutivecouncil and recruitment counselors will explain this process in detail throughout the week. Each potential new member will be assigned recruitment counselors (Sigma Rho Chis), who will be available during the entire process to answerquestions.Thesewomenareavailabletohelp you in any way you may need them.
Participation in formal recruitment does NOT guarantee you an invitation to join a sorority, nor does it obligate a woman to join. However, more than 80 percent of the women participating in formal recruitment each year join a sorority at the end of recruitment week.
26 Recruitment Week Overview
follow: @UAPanhellenic and @UAGreekAffairs for
more information during recruitmentweek!
Recruitment Q&A Do I need to go to all of the events listed in the recruitment schedule?
Yes!Theobjectofrecruitmentisforyouto learn as much as you can about the UA Greek community, so that you can make the best possible decision. If you intentionally miss events, you could be released from recruitment.
Will all potential new members pledge a sorority at the end of recruitment?
Recruitment is a process of mutual selection, and as such, there are many different outcomes to this process. You are not guaranteed to be asked to join a sorority, and you are not obligated join one. It is possible to go through recruitment and not pledge a sorority at the conclusion of the week.
If I go through recruitment, am I obligated to join?
No. Recruitment is an opportunity to explore Greek life and to see if it is right for you.
I am a legacy to a sorority. Is there anything I should know?
Each potential new member is considered on an individual basis. Legacies are not obligated to join the sorority that their family member joined and likewise, chapters are not required to pledge a legacy. Houses are considering mutual compatibility, not necessarily a family connection.
What if I’m an upperclassman?
An upperclassman is a woman who graduated high school prior to December 2011. UA utilizes an upperclassman quota which is separate fromthefreshmanquota.Thisdual-quotasystemgives all women participating in recruitment an equal opportunity to pledge.
What if I only want to be in a certain sorority?
Only wanting to be in one or a few sororities limits a PNM’s options for membership and can lead to disappointment. Don’t make a decision based on stereotypes or others’ opinions. We encourage you to keep an open mind and make a decision that is right for you.

Greek Meal PlanSince the majority of the Panhellenic sororities have their own mandatory meal program, the University automatically down-grades new members to the Greek 50 meal plan at a cost of $450 when they join a sorority that has a full-service kitchen.
Greek 50: Average of 2-3 meals per week, perfect for weekends when the sorority house is not serving meals. Students who would like more than 50 meals per semester may change their meal plan to one of the following: Silver (160 meals per semester), Gold (220 meals per semester), or Unlimited. Students who would like to have no require-ment to dine in any UA dining halls may choose to only pay the Community Dining Charge of $197.

When you don’t eat enough food, or don’t eat enough healthy food (not enough proteins or carbohydrates) you can experience headaches, weakness, or fatigue. Being dehydrated can cause you to experience nausea, dizziness, emotional instability, and even cause you to pass out, especially when it is hot and humid. So, please drink lots offluidsandfeelfreetoaskforwaterwhenyouarethirsty.Also,rememberthatrecruitmentisalengthy process, so we encourage you to get plenty of rest.
Quick Tips:Keep hydrated by drinking water throughout the day. We encourage you to keep a water bottle with you at all time. Avoid consuming large amounts of carbonated or caffeinated beverage as these can increase your fluid loss because of their diuretic effect. If you wait until you are thirsty, you have waited too long.
Conflicts with Recruitment
Bid Day ThisyearBidDaywillbeheldat10a.m.onSaturday,August 18, 2012. Bid Day begins at Bryant-Denny staduim and continues along sorority row at the sorority houses. Since many parents travel to UA for Bid Day, it is important to know whether the chapter will be leaving on Bid Day for the retreat. Parents are encouraged to come to bid day to participate in the excitement, visit the sorority house for brunch and learn about the chapter. Bid Day is the most exciting day of recruitment. You will, however, be sitting in the stadium waiting to open your bids around the hottest time of the day. Enjoythisday!It’saonceinalifetimeexperienceandwill start one of the most exciting adventures in col-lege.
On or soon after Bid Day, sororities plan retreats for the new member class to bond and get to know each other. On this retreat, the girls are able to meet their new sisters, learn about their sorority, and celebrate findingtheirhomeawayfromhome.

Advice from the Experts
It’s August in Alabama...trust us,itwillbehot!Lookforlight-weight dresses and colors that won’t show sweat.
Don’t believe all the rumors you hear. If it sounds too crazy to be true, then it probably is.
Be sure to use your Sigma Rho Chis!Theyaretheretoanswerany questions, no matter how silly you may think they are.
You can’t take anything into the houses, so leave your nice purse orbaginyourroom.Thisalsomeans that your bag will be lay-ing on the grass outside while you are attending parties, so keep that in mind when choosing a durable bag to tote your things.
Be careful what you say about other sororities to those around you. You should always be re-spectful of others’ opinions, as you never know what connec-tions someone has to a particular sorority.
Looknatural!Sororitieswanttoseetherealyou.Thatbeingsaid,water-proof mascara is a great investment.

came together to form an organization that would
respect the individuality of its members. We continue to uphold those values, in addition to enriching the
college experience of women of similar ideals at Alabama. Sigma Delta Tau will begin recruitment on August 26,
2012. For more information, please contact rushsigdelt@
