Letter from the President

Welcome to The University of Alabama!On behalf of The Alabama Panhellenic Association, I would like to officially welcome you to The Capstone. I, along with the rest of the Executive Council and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life Staff, are so excited that you have chosen to attend The University of Alabama, and that you are considering joining the largest Greek community in the nation! Greek life at The University of Alabama is one of the oldest, and most meaningful traditions that The Capstone has to offer, and it is a great way to make friendships that will last a lifetime. I am confident that if you choose to join our amazing community, you will not be disappointed.

The Alabama Panhellenic Association is the coordinating and governing body of the 17 National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) sororities and 1 affiliate member Christian sorority. These chapters, along with the United Greek Council (UGC) sororities and the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) sororities, represent over 6,500 women from all ends of campus. Our membership numbers are evidence of the strong influence that sorority women have at UA, and we are extremely proud of our outstanding Greek community. From philanthropic service and community outreach, to campus involvement and leadership, I guarantee you will find Greek women in almost every organization on campus.

Each sorority at The University of Alabama has something different and unique to offer, and I encourage you to think about this throughout the week as you visit each house. You will find that all of our chapters here at UA strive for excellence in academics, involvement, and service. We hope you consider becoming a member of this wonderful tradition!

If you have any questions about Greek life or Fall Formal Recruitment, please do not hesitate to call our office at (205) 348-2693 or email us at alabamapanhellenic@gmail.com. Any member of our Panhellenic Executive Council will be happy to speak with you and answer any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you throughout the week! Good Luck and Roll Tide!

Best, Pamela Sox

LETTER FROM THE

2016•GreekChic6

Letter from the President

Hello and welcome to The University of Alabama!We are over the moon that you have chosen to become a part of the Crimson Tide and participate in sorority recruitment! While The University of Alabama is lucky enough to have one of the largest, most

diverse and prestigious Greek communities in the nation, we wholeheartedly believe that each of our groups add great value to the UA Greek experience. The decision to join a sorority is a commitment to scholarship, service, and character refinement. The benefits of sorority membership are endless and the bonds you make can last a lifetime.

We would like to encourage you to make the most of your recruitment experience by keeping an open mind and a positive attitude throughout the process. We want to challenge you to take the time during the week to fully understand the commitment of sorority membership, as well as all of the opportunities that the Greek community has to offer you.

Keep in mind that the more time and energy you put into your sorority experience, the richer your time will be as an active member of the Greek community. At Alabama, we deeply value each member of the Greek community and strive to accomplish this through enriching programs designed to cultivate personal growth and strengthen leadership potential. However, because we know that our four years here are more

than just Greek life, we continually work to give back to our campus and local community.

Although sorority recruitment will be your first experience at the Capstone, it will not be the only. Greek life will serve as a stepping-stone to involvement in countless other areas of campus life available to students. UA offers more than 500 student organizations, where students within the Greek community play a major role in the success of many of these initiatives and programs. It is our hope that you find a home not only within a Greek chapter, but in the campus community as a whole.

Remember to have fun and take advantage of every opportunity presented to you throughout this week. The Panhellenic Executive Council will be stationed on Sorority Row, so don’t forget to come see us if you have a question or just want to chat! We are here to serve you and are fully committed to making sure that you have a positive recruitment experience. You all have been on the forefront of my mind, on the tip of my tongue, and everything that I have been focused on for the past year. The time is coming for each of you to find your home, and it truly is the greatest blessing that I get to help you do so.

And always remember, BE YOURSELF.

With love, Lauren and Morgan

Panhellenic Executive Council

The Panhellenic Council at The University of Alabama is the coordinating body of the 17 NPC sororities and one affiliate

member sorority. The council is composed of 11 executive board members, a delegate, and two junior delegates from each sorority.

Panhellenic executive council members are current sorority members who have disaffiliated from their chapters during recruit-

ment in order to provide unbiased planning and support for everyone involved in the process. Panhellenic strengthens the Greek

community and is responsible for promoting scholarship, philanthropy and safety for each sorority as well as the Greek commu-

nity as a whole. The Alabama Panhellenic Association provides activities and programs throughout the year to address current

issues affecting college women.

Panhellenic Delegates

The UA College Panhellenic Delegates act as liaisons between their individual chapters and the Panhellenic Executive Council. By attending biweekly meetings, serving on committees, and volunteering to step in where needed, these women help direct their sororities toward working together as a Panhellenic community. The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) is the umbrella organization for the 26 international women’s fraternities and sororities. NPC provides support and guidance for College Panhellenics and serves as the national voice on contemporary issues of sorority life. For more information about NPC, visit www.npcwomen.org.

2016•GreekChic 11

The sorority chapter presidents are integral to the success of Greek life at

Alabama. Working with members of their chapters, members of other Greek

organizations on campus and alumnae, these women strive to make the

Greek community even stronger here at The University of Alabama.

A sorority president must be a strong leader and have very high standards.

Each of the women serving the Panhellenic community this year reflect

excellent character and class. We hope the legacy being set by the 2016

chapter presidents will continue with your incoming class of Potential New

Members.

Each sorority has a recruitment chair(s) who coordinates recruitment events for her chapter during the school year, as well as during recruitment week. These women have worked very hard all year to prepare their chapter for your arrival in August.

2016•GreekChic 13

Recruitment is an exciting experience for you to get to know women

on your campus, but it can be a hectic and emotional time. The

Panhellenic Recruitment Team, comprised of Sigma Rho Chis and

Judicial Board members, are undergraduate women representing all

sororities at UA who have disaffiliated from their chapters to help

you through the process. These women have been through extensive

training in preparation for this week and have also participated in

recruitment themselves.

Sigma Rho Chis are your recruitment counselors, available to you

24 hours a day in order to be an impartial listener, guide, and friend.

They will help you understand the process of recruitment and make

choices based on your values. The Judicial Board is responsible

for upholding the constitution, by-laws, and recruitment rules of

the Alabama Panhellenic Association. The J-Board members are

outside each house to ensure you have a fair recruitment process

and assist you with any problems you may encounter throughout the

week of recruitment.

National Panhellenic ConferenceMembership Recruitment Acceptance Binding AgreementI have participated in the membership recruitment period at The University of Alabama.

By signing this acceptance agreement, I understand and agree to the following terms. Please read and initial each of the following.

___ I am willing to accept an invitation to membership from any women’s sorority (fraternity) that I list on this agreement.

___ I may limit my choices to just one OR list any women’s sorority (fraternity) whose preference-round (last) event I attended, and from which I am willing to accept membership. I realize that by not listing the maximum number of events I attended, I may be limiting my potential to join any other NPC group during formal recruitment should I not be placed with my choice(s).

___ Once I submit this agreement to the College Panhellenic Association, I cannot change the order of my preferences or add or delete a preference.

___ If I do not receive an invitation to membership from a group that I have listed, I am eligible for continuous open bidding.

___ I have the option of not submitting an agreement at this time.

___ Once I submit this agreement, I am bound by the National Panhellenic Conference one-calendar year rule. This rule states that if I receive an invitation to membership from a group that I have listed and then do not accept it, I am not eligible to be pledged to any other NPC member sorority (fraternity) on this campus for one calendar year (12 month period) from the time of this signing.

Signature______________________________________________ Date__________________________

By signing this form you are agreeing to accept a bid from any of the women’s sororities you list below and, if offered, you are bound to that bid for one calendar year.

I agree to the terms stated above, and I am willing to accept an invitation to membership from any of the following women’s sororities (fraternities) whose preference event I attended (listed in order of preference):

1st Preference:________________________________________________________________________

2nd Preference (only if attended 2 events) : __________________________________________________

3rd Preference (only if attended 3 events) :____________________________________________________

Signature _______________________________________________ Date_________________________

2016•GreekChic16

2016•GreekChic 17

Explanation of the Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement (MRABA)The document on the opposite page is the Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement (MRABA), formerly known as the “Preference Card.” The MRABA is a binding agreement that is effective for one calendar year. By signing this document, you as a Potential New Member agree that you are willing to accept a bid for membership from any sorority that you rank on the MRABA. Please note that if you receive an invitation to membership (a bid) from any sorority that you ranked on your MRABA, then you are bound to that group for one calendar year (August 2016-August 2017). Most importantly, if you receive a bid from any sorority that you have listed on your MRABA, and you choose not to accept it, you are not eligible to participate in Continuous Open Bidding (COB) in fall 2016 or spring 2017.

If you receive invitations to Preference, at the conclusion of your last Preference party, you will make your final selections in a computer lab, ranking the chapters you visited on Friday, August 12 in preferential order. Once you complete your rankings, you will print and sign a copy of the MRABA. Please note that once the MRABA has been turned in to a representative of the Alabama College Panhellenic Association, it cannot be altered or changed.

Prior to signing the MRABA, you will have several options to consider and we suggest that you thoroughly reflect on these before signing your MRABA.

-First and foremost, you may choose not to complete the MRABA, thereby withdrawing from recruitment. If you choose this option, you are eligible to accept a bid for membership from any sororities participating in Continuous Open Bidding. A small number of sororities may be able to recruit a limited number of women through the COB process after formal recruitment if their chapter is below Panhellenic Total; however, this is not guaranteed.

-Secondly, you may choose to list any sorority whose preference event you attended and from whom you are willing to accept an invitation to membership (a bid). Please note that you should not rank any sorority on your final selection that you are abso-lutely not willing to accept a bid for membership. If you match with a sorority that you listed on your MRABA, it is important to note that you are bound to that sorority for one calendar year (August 2016-August 2017) regardless of whether you accept their invitation for membership or not.

-Lastly, you may choose to list only one or two preferences, but you must understand that if you chose single intentional preference then you are not guaranteed to receive a bid for membership. Only Potential New Members who maximize their op-tions and list ALL of the chapters that they attended during the Preference Round are guaranteed to receive a bid for membership during formal recruitment.

If you do not receive an invitation to membership (a bid) from any of the sororities that you have listed, you are eligible for continuous open bidding (COB).

As members of The University of Alabama Panhellenic Association, we the undersigned agree that our vision is a safe, positive, enriching recruitment experience with the goal of providing opportunities for the greatest possible number of women to obtain membership in a women’s fraternity. In order to reach our common goal, we will strive to create a Panhellenic environment of trust, honesty, unity and cooperation among all chapters. Therefore, we solemnly promise to:

• Respect ourselves, our sisters, and the Greek community as a whole. We will work with other sororities to improve the Greek community.

• Enable every Potential New Member an equal opportunity and act accordingly with true Panhellenic spirit as well as our own chapter values and moral judgments.

• Promote the safety and protection of current and prospective members.

• Treat Potential New Members with the same respect before, during and after recruitment.

• Abide by all official Panhellenic codes, including but not limited to:

The Panhellenic Creed, The Potential New Member Bill of Rights, The Panhellenic Recruitment Rules, The Na-tional Panhellenic Conference Unanimous Agreements

• Leave the Potential New Member with a positive idea of what sisterhood could be.

• Encourage the Potential New Member to explore the freedom of thought in her decisions.

• Assure the Potential New Member about the recruitment process, membership requirements and external and internal responsibilities.

• Enable every Potential New Member an equal opportunity to a level playing field.

• Strive to maintain a campus scholastic average that is above the all-women’s average.

QUOTA ADDITIONS: A procedure used to help PNMs who maximize their options during recruitment receive an invitation to membership.

RECOMMENDATION/REFERENCE: A written letter or statement from an alumna on the sorority’s official recommendation form introducing and recommending a Potential New Member for pledging. Also called a “rec.”

SNAP BID: A procedure used at the close of bid matching to help chapters reach quota prior to bid distribution.

UNITED GREEK COUNCIL (UGC): The primary purpose of the UGC is to unite its member organizations in order to share ideas and resources, promote mutual respect and equality, and provide a support network for involved students.

It’s all GREEKTO ME

When asking alumnae for letters of recommendations, it is customary to supply them with a stamped and pre-addressed envelope. You also may be asked to include the following items to assist the alumna with completing the recommendation form: (1) a copy of your resume, (2) a copy of high school or college transcript and (3) a photo of yourself. We suggest a 4x6 headshot; senior portraits work great.

Lastly, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure UA has an official copy of your final transcript, as this will be the official grade point average (GPA) shared with each sorority. Please ensure that a certified final copy of your high school and/or college transcript is sent directly to the UA Admissions Office no later than August 1, 2016. All final transcripts should be mailed to the UA Office of Admissions at the address to the right:

A letter of recommendation, also commonly referred to as a “Rec,” “Reference” or “RIF,” is a recruitment information form completed by an alumna of a sorority. The purpose of a letter of recommendation is to introduce a Potential New Member (PNM) to the alumna’s sorority chapter at The University of Alabama. An alumna may find a copy of her sorority’s recruitment information form in her sorority’s national magazine, or on the national organization’s website. She can also call the inter/national headquarters of her sorority to obtain a copy of the form. Keep in mind, the alumna writing the letter of recommendation does not need to be a graduate of UA, she only needs to be an alumna member in good standing of a sorority with a chapter on UA’s campus. While letters of recommendation are not required to participate in recruitment, PNMs are encouraged, if possible, to reach out to sorority alumnae and secure a letter of recommendation for each chapter participating in formal recruitment. Letters of recommendation for each sorority should be sent directly to the sorority’s local chapter, unless otherwise specified on the recommendation form. For your convenience, the chapter

mailing addresses for each of the sororities at UA can be found on the next page.

Finding a letter of recommendation for each of the sororities participating in formal recruitment can be challenging, as such, we have added an option for Potential New Members to include a supplemental academic letter of recommendation. This year as part of the recruitment application, women participating in recruitment may elect to submit a generic, supplemental academic letter of recommendation from a teacher, guidance counselor, or principal. The supplemental academic letter of rec can be uploaded directly to the online recruitment application or mailed to the Alabama Panhellenic Association. While chapter specific letters of recommendation are preferred, the supplemental academic letter of recommendation could be particularly beneficial for women unable to identify alumnae from each of the 16 Panhellenic chapters to write official letter of recommendation. For more info about the Supplemental Academic Letter of Recommendation, please visit http://www.uapanhellenic.com/letters-of-recommendation.html.

Please note that neither the UA Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life nor

the Alabama Panhellenic Association have access to individual sorority

recommendation forms and as such cannot obtain them for Potential

New Members. Furthermore, while handwritten “letters of support” may

be commonplace in Texas, many of the sororities at The University of

Alabama do not accept or recognize “letters of support.”

As a reminder, each NPC sorority has its own policy regarding references for Potential New Members. Some groups require recommendationsand/or personal information forms from their members. For additional assistance with letters of recommendation, please visit the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) website, which has contact email addresses for each NPC sorority: http://thesororitylife.com/Recruitment-101/recommendations.aspx. Simply email those groups at UA in which you need recruitment assistance, and each group will pursue any needed action based upon their individual organizational policy.

Financial Obligations

Joining a sorority is a financial obligation that should be taken seriously.Each chapter has financial requirement, which families should discuss before their daughter pledges a sorority. Financial requirements may include membership dues, meal plan, house fees as well as room and board if you live in the sorority house. It is important to note that membership fees vary by sorority. To see if a sororityhas included their financial requirements please visit their chapter profile page.

Greek 55 Meal PlanSince the majority of the Panhellenic sororities have their own mandatory meal program, the University automatically downgrades new members to the Greek 55 meal plan at a cost of $538 per semester, when they join a sorority that has a full-service kitchen. If you join a sorority with a full-service kitchen, the chapter provides 14 meals a week. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served daily Monday - Thursday, and breakfast and lunch are available on Fridays.

Greek 55: Average of 2-3 meals per week, perfect for weekends when the chapter is not serving meals. Students who would like more than 55 meals per semester may change their meal plan to one of the following: Bronze (90 meals per semester), Silver (125 meals per semester), or an All Access plan.

The University generates an official list of all new Greek members, and student accounts will automatically be credited the difference between the original meal plan and the Greek 55 downgrade.

Sorority Life at UA is an experience unlike any other...

What to Expect as a New MemberStudy Hall HoursEach chapter requires a certain number of study hall hours to be completed each week during your first semester at UA. Sororities also implement a number of educational programs to assist mem-bers in their academic pursuits.

Panhellenic EventsPanhellenic requires new members to attend various educational events throughout the year. These events address relevant issues students face today and will help them with their transition into college and Greek life.

Philanthropy EventsEach chapter enjoys serving its national and local philanthropy. Philanthropy events are hosted to promote unity within the chapter and the Greek community while helping a worthwhile cause.

Recruitment EventsIn the spring, chapters host recruitment workshops to help their members prepare for next year’s Fall Formal Recruitment. As a new member, you will have the opportunity to attend these events.

Active ParticipationAs a new member, you will be required to attend new member meet-ings in addition to chapter meetings. You will also be encouraged to participate in Greek-wide events such as Greek Week and Homecoming. These events are not only fun, but provide an oppor-tunity for you to meet other members of the Greek community.

Each chapter has programming during the new member period to help their new members adjust

The University’s commitment to the Greek community is equal to the Panhellenic Association’s commitment to the University. UA’s Greek Community, the largest and one of the most diverse in the nation, provides an opportunity for new students to become involved in organizations that promote campus involvement and personal growth. . .

When you join one of the 17 NPC sororities at the Capstone, you also become a member of the Alabama Panhellenic Association, which is the local College Panhellenic. The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) was founded in 1902 and is the governing organization for 26 international women’s fraternities and sororities. Each member group is autonomous as a social, Greek letter society of college women and alumnae. Members are represented on more than 600 college and university campuses in the United States and Canada, and currently there are more than 5,300 alumnae associations, making up more than 3 million sorority women in the world. Sororities have enjoyed a rich history at UA since 1904.

2016•GreekChic 23

2016•GreekChic24

Leadership opportunities are numerous within the sorority community. As a chapter officer or coordinator of a chapter event, you can develop management and communication skills. You will have the chance to experience different roles in the chapter, whether it’s handling finances during a philanthropy fundraiser or greeting guests during an alumnae dinner. Each chapter also provides educational programs that will help you refine your time management, leadership and communication skills.

Striking a balance between academics and extracurricular activities is an important part of college life. Here at the Capstone, we believe campus involvement provides a well-rounded college experience. Sororities value leadership, and likewise encourage chapter members to become involved in campus-wide activities.

Greek life is a direct springboard into campus involvement including student government, special interest organizations, honor societies, Capstone Men and Women, Homecoming, intramural sports and more than 500 other campus organizations.

Being Greek also provides an invaluable network when seeking employment and career opportunities. Greek alumni/ae understand the Greek experience of being both an individual and a team player, the desire to excel both in and out of the classroom, and the commitment to give something back to the community. Through interactions with Greek alumni/ae, you can begin building relationships that will help you in the future.

LEADERSHIP

2016•GreekChic 25

Scholarship

Pollie rickets is the 2016 recipient of the Dr. Kathleen Powers Cramer Leadership and Involvement Scholarship, which recognizes a Panhellenic woman in good standing with her organization, who has maintained a 3.0 GPA and demonstrated outstanding leadership ability.

Greek-letter organizations were founded on the principle of exceptional scholarship and each sorority at UA recognizes the importance of scholastic success in order to remain an active member, women must maintain their grades throughout membership.

The sororities at UA want their members to do well in school and they will provide informational programs to help you achieve your academic goals. All 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.

The academic performance of each chapter is tabulated every semester to determine an all-sorority grade point average. The fall 2015 academic standings are as follows:

The All-Sorority GPA has been higher than the undergraduate All-Women’s GPA since 1927

Fall 2015 ACADEMIC StandingsAll-Panhellenic (6,386) ...............................................................................3.33

Philanthropy events at UA demonstrate that Greek

women’s interests and concerns extend well beyond

social activities. Sororities sponsor a number of activities

each year, donating their time and money to specific

philanthropies or identified causes.

Sorority members actively participate in their own

chapter’s philanthropy events as well as support other

chapters’ service efforts. Every year, there are cookouts,

pancake breakfasts, basketball tournaments, 5K runs,

mentoring programs, and other events that Greeks plan

and support.

The Alabama Panhellenic Association looks to support

campus and community needs through events such as

Greek Week, Trick-or-Treat on Sorority Row, an Easter Egg

Hunt on the front lawn of the President’s Mansion, Circle

of Sisterhood, Gamma Peer Educators, Beat Auburn Beat

Hunger, Laps for Cystic Fibrosis, clothing drives, and

many other sponsorships to help others on campus, in the

community and throughout the state. The opportunities

you will encounter to help benefit philanthropies and the

community are endless here at the Capstone.

SOCIAL Events

Social events help you get to know your own sorority’s members as well as members of other Greek organizations. Sororities participate in formals, swaps, and sisterhood events to help build relationships that will last a lifetime. Swaps are informal parties held with a fraternity and usually have a theme such as 80s, toga, camouflage, disco or famous couples. Sisterhood events are fun activities like movie nights, bowling, and skating that are held for the members of one sorority.

Football weekends are also a large part of Greek social life here at the Capstone. Sororities typically serve meals before each home game, and friends and family are invited to participate in the festivities. Many women also choose to dress up and attend football games with a date.

2016•GreekChic28

Homecoming at UA is a week full of excitement

and fun leading up to the fall Homecoming

football game. Each sorority is paired with

an IFC fraternity, as well as a UGC and NPHC

organization for the week. Each pairing then

participates in a series of competitions in an

effort to win the coveted Homecoming Spirit Cup.

“Paint the Town Red” is one event where windows

of local businesses are painted in honor of the

Homecoming game. Other competitions include

a basketball tournament, bowling tournament,

dance competition, and a float competition

followed by a parade through campus and

downtown Tuscaloosa. The most anticipated

part of Homecoming, however, is the traditional

construction of lawn decorations by each sorority

house. These giant decorations incorporate

the year’s homecoming theme and are created

through a process called “pomping.” Homecoming

week is the perfect time to bond with women in

your sorority and make friends with members in

the partnering sororities and fraternities. And

of course, it all leads up to the big Homecoming

game and the crowning of the Homecoming

Queen.

HOMECOMING Week

2016•GreekChic28

Greek Week at The University of Alabama 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 governing councils participate in friendly competitions and community service. Greek Week is one of the largest annual philanthropic efforts at The University of Alabama. While many of the events are social in nature, the primary focus of Greek Week is to give back to our local community through service and charitable contributions with the goal of uniting the four councils by having them work and socialize together. Everette Dawkins, Panhellenic Vice President of Administration, planned this year’s Greek Week with help from the Greek Programming Board.

"This year, all four councils came together for Greek Week to compete and serve the greater Tuscaloosa area. All of us enjoyed working with other councils and have fostered some awesome new friendships!"-Everette Dawkins

During Greek Week 2016, the UA Greek community raised $100,000 for local non-profits and partnered with Habitat for Humanity to build houses for families affected by the April 27, 2011 tornado.

Recruitment at UA begins on Friday, August 5, 2016 and concludes with Bid Day on Saturday, August 13, 2016. For many of you, this will be your first impression of Tuscaloosa and Greek life at The University of Alabama. We sincerely hope that you enjoy all that we have planned for you!

The week of formal recruitment consists of four rounds of events, each structured to show you what each sorority has to offer. You will also have a chance to meet current sorority women in each of the houses and ask any questions that you might have about activities, financial obligations, scholarship, new member programs and campus life in general. It is very important that you keep an open mind during this process and carefully decide where YOU feel you best fit into the Greek community at UA.

Please recognize that formal recruitment at UA is a process of mutual selection in that both the Potential New Members and the individual sororities are making choices. All Potential New Members will visit every sorority during the first round of Open House, but the remaining three rounds (Philanthropy, Sisterhood and Preference) are by invitation only. Throughout the invitational rounds of recruitment, Potential New Members will make decisions regarding the chapter specific parties they want to attend and the sororities will make decisions regarding the women they want to invite to their parties. Potential New Members should understand that they may not receive invitations to all the parties that they would like to attend. While this may seem overwhelming, the Panhellenic Executive Council and Sigma Rho Chis will explain this process in detail at Convocation and throughout the week.

2016•GreekChic 31

Do I need to go to all of the events listed in the recruitment schedule?Yes! The objective of recruitment is for you as a Potential New Member to learn as much as you can about the UA Greek community as well as each of the chapters, so that you can make the best possible decision regarding membership. If you intentionally miss an event to which you were invited, you are not maximizing your options, and you could be released from the recruitment process.

Will all Participants pledge a sorority at the end of recruitment?Because Recruitment is a process of mutual selection, there are many different outcomes to this process. Participation in formal recruitment does NOT guarantee you an invitation to join a sorority, and it is possible to go through recruitment and not pledge a sorority. With that being said, last year, 93 percent of the women participating in formal recruitmen at UA joined a sorority at the end of recruitment week.

If I participate in formal recruitment, am I obligated to join a sorority?Potential New Members who choose to participate in recruitment are not obligated to join a sorority. The recruitment process is structured so as to allow women interested in sorority membership the opportunity to explore Greek life and to see if it is the right fit.

If I am a legacy to a Sorority, is there anything I should know?Sororities want to know who their legacies are, so please remind your family member to send the chapter a legacy introduction form. With regard to legacies, Panhellenic does not have any specific policies. Each sorority has its own policy regarding legacies, and it is up to each individual chapter to decide whether to offer membership to a legacy. Likewise, legacies are not obligated to pledge the sorority that they are a legacy to. Each Potential New Member is evaluated on an individual basis, and sororities are more likely to consider mutual compatibility versus a family connection. It is also recommended that PNMs completely fill out their legacy information when registering for Recruitment.

What if I am not a freshman and I want to participate in formal recruitment?A Potential New Member who graduated high school prior to December 2015 is considered an upperclassman. UA utilizes an upperclassman/secondary quota, which is separate from the freshman/primary quota. This dual-quota system gives 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 a member of one specific sorority or only considering a few sororities can severely limit a PNM’s options for membership and can lead to disappointment. Please don’t choose a sorority based on stereotypes or others’ opinions. We encourage you to keep an open mind about the chapters and make a decision that is right for you.

RECRUITMENT Week RECRUITMENT Q&A

2016•GreekChic 31

Does GPA Really Matter?Although Panhellenic does not require a specific grade point average to participate in formal recruitment, each sorority has a minimum grade requirement for membership. With the large amount of women who participate in the formal recruitment process, GPA can be one of the first ways for the chapters to begin to manage the numbers.

It is strongly recommended that you have at or above a 3.0 cumulative high school or college GPA.

To help you understand how GPA will affect your recruitment, we have broken it down into three “GPA Zones.”

If your GPA lands in a zone that you feel will limit your recruitment options, don’t worry! Many people spend Freshman year raising their GPA, then go through formal recruitment as an upperclassman!

UA utilizes a separate quota for freshman and upperclassman, and this dual-quota system gives ALL women participating in recruitment a greater opportunity to pledge a sorority.

The following describes the 2015 Sorority Recruitment applicant pool: Average Cumulative High School GPA: 3.65

Average Cumulative College GPA: 3.18

Average ACT Score: 28

Average SAT Score: 1,672

GREEN ZONE: a 3.0 cumulative high school or college GPA. Your options are not likely to be limited based onyour GPA. (3.0 + )

YELLOW ZONE: a 2.8-2.99 cumulative high school or college GPA. Your options are more likely tobe limited by your GPA.

RED ZONE: a 2.79 or below cumulative high school or college GPA. Your options are very likely tobe limited based on your GPA. (2.79 and below)

Recruitment Advice

2016•GreekChic32

2016•GreekChic 33

It’s August in Alabama...Trust us, it will be HOT! Choose light-weight dresses and colors

that won’t show sweat. Comfort is KEY toreduce stress during Recruitment.

Be careful what you say about

other sororities to those around you.

You should always be respectful of

others’ opinions, as you never know

what connections someone has to a

particular sorority.

You won’t be allowed to take anything into the so-rority houses, so leave your nice purse or bag in your

room. This also means that your bag will be lying onthe grass outside while you are attending parties, sokeep that in mind when choosing a durable water-

proof bag to tote your things.

Don’t believe all the rumors you hear. If

it sounds too absurd to be true, then it

probably isn’t true. Feel free to talk

to your Sigma Rho Chis about any

concerns you have.

Open House DayDuring the first two days of recruitment, you will visit all 16 sororities with

your recruitment group. Each party is only 20 minutes long, so the days

move quickly. You will be greeted at each house by door songs as you are

welcomed into the party. Feel free to ask questions of the members and

tell them a little bit about yourself. Most

importantly, remember to have fun and be

yourself! The week will be over before you

know it!

TIP: Remember the first two days of

recruitment are the longest and you

will be doing a lot of walking, so you will

definitely want to be dressed comfortably.

We don't suggest wearing a maxi dress because August in Alabama is too hot. You will want to be cool and comfortable!

RECRUITMENT WEEK

2016•GreekChic34

A sundress with flats or sandals is perfect for Open House. REMEMBER: The most important thing is to be

comfortable! You will want to concentratE on your conversations in each house, not worry about your outfit!

2016•GreekChic 35

Philanthropy Day marks the first round of invitation only parties. During days three and four of recruitment, you will have the opportunity to visit a maximum of 12 sororities for 30 minutes each. Community service is an important part of the overall Greek experience, and Philanthropy Day will give you a glimpse into the philanthropic work that sororities participate in at the local and national level. These two days are very laid back and lots of fun.

TIP: Think about what philanthropies are importantto you and what service projects you were involved in during high school.

We don't suggest wearing ripped or frayed jean shorts because those could come across as too casual. Additionally, don’t wear shorts that are too short because in some houses you may be sitting on the floor.

Philanthropy Day

REMEMBER: Philanthropy Days are the most relaxed days of recruitment, enjoy!

2016•GreekChic 35

You will receive two t-shirts at Convocation to wear during Philanthropy Days. During these two days, wear nice shorts and

comfortable shoes.

Wear a nicer dress with wedges, heels, or flats for Skit Day.

Sisterhood DaySisterhood Day allows you the opportunity to see the personality of each sorority. You may attend a maximum of 8 parties, each of which is 40 minutes in length during days five and six of Recruitment. The parties on Sisterhood Days are informative and allow you more time for conversations with the sorority women. Participation in this round will allow you the opportunity to see firsthand the individuality and spirit of each sorority, as well as experience the special bond of sorority sisterhood.

TIP: During these two days you learn what each chapter is involved in on campus; think hard about what you would like to be involved in while at UA and whether this chapter could help you reach your goals.

We don't suggest wearing a dress that is too casual or too short because these days are more formal.

REMEMBER: Sisterhood Days are a great time to really see the personality of each chapter!

RECRUITMENT WEEK

2016•GreekChic36

Preference DayOn this day you can attend a maximum of 3 Preference parties, each lasting 50 minutes. This is the day to really focus on what you want to gain out of joining a sorority. An invitation to a Preference event means that the sorority is very interested in asking you to become a member. After participating in a ceremony, you will have the chance to talk privately with a member. During this time, the member may share with you how she made her decision, what her sorority means to her personally, and what sisterhood encompasses. After the last party, you will walk silently to complete

your MRABA.

TIP: Look around theroom at each of your events; many of these wom-en could be your pledge sisters, so make sure you feel comfortable.

Wearing a dress that is too tight or too short is inappropriate for recruitment, especially on Preference Day. This is the most formal day of recruitment.

Wear a nice dress and heels or nice wedges. An example would be something you would wear perhaps to church or a

wedding.

REMEMBER: Preference Day is the last day of recruitment, so really focus on your conversations and how you feel in each house.

More About Bid DayThis year Bid Day at UA will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 13, 2016. Bid Day activities begin at Bryant-Denny Stadium with the official opening of the bids ceremony and continue along sorority row, as each sorority hosts a Bid Day lunch to welcome new members and their parents.

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. While it may be a hot and hectic day, it’s a once in a lifetime experience that will start one of the most exciting adventures in college.

Parents are encouraged to come to Bid Day to participate in the excitement, visit the sorority house for brunch and learn about the chapter. Since many parents travel to UA for Bid Day, it is important to know whether the chapter you end up joining will be leaving on Bid Day for a new member retreat.

What is a New Member Retreat?On or soon after Bid Day, sororities plan retreats so that their new member class has an opportunity to bond and get to know each other. On this retreat, the new members are able to meet their new sisters, learn about their soror-ity, and celebrate finding their home away from home for the next four years.

Please note that Colonial & Magnolia Drive will both be closed to traffic on Bid Day. Visitors are encouraged to park in the ten Hoor West Commuter Parking Lot. For more

If you cannot attend any of the Bama Bound Orientation sessions prior to August, then you will need to register for the Freshman Final Session on Thursday, August 11. Since the August 11 Freshman Final Session is scheduled during the Skit Round of Sorority Recruitment, you will need to make note of this conflict on your Innova Campus Director registration form when it asks if you “anticipate any conflicts that might prevent you from attending any of the recruitment activities.” At Convocation, you will also need to notify your Sigma Rho Chi (Recruitment Counselor) of this conflict, so that we can make arrangements for you to attend any Sisterhood parties you are invited to on Wednesday, August 10. This accommodation will free up Thursday, August 11for you to attend Bama Bound Orientation, allowing you to register for your classes and pay your student bill.

A student’s registration is not complete until they have attended a Bama Bound orientation session, confirmed their class schedule and paid their tuition, course fees, residence hall room, Dining Dollars, meal options, and parking decal charges. As such, students who report to campus for formal sorority recruitment before they have completed orientation and registration, may have issues accessing some of the services such as dining until they develop and confirm a student schedule and complete payment arrangements with Student Account Services . If you have not participated in orientation before you come to campus for formal

recruitment, we suggest that you start a Bama Cash account by going to http://actcard.ua.edu (or call 800-474-2288 during business hours) or bring cash, a credit or a debit card with you. You will need money for meals until you have paid your Fall bill in full or enrolled in a payment plan with Student Account Services.

The Action Card Office will be open Saturday, August 6 and Sunday, August 7 from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. to assist students who cannot access dining or residence hall services. Please call (205) 348-2288 or stop by the Campus Drive Parking Deck, 451 Campus Drive East. This is the Transit Hub. For students who submitted a photo online, your Action Card will be ready for pick-up at the Action Card office. If you failed to submit a photo online, you will need to be prepared to have your Action Card produced at the Action Card office. As noted above, many services accessed by the Action Card will not be available until your Fall term payment arrangements have been completed with Student Account Services.

The first meal served for the fall 2016 semester is scheduled for dinner on Friday, August 5, 2016. Women participating in sorority recruitment will have access to dining hall options provided that they have purchased a meal plan and confirmed their fall 2016 class schedule on myBama. If you do not have an active meal plan on your Action Card, your Sigma Rho Chi (Recruitment Counselor) will be able to assist you and swipe you in for the lunch meals scheduled August 5-12 at the dining halls during formal recruitment.

EARLY On-CAMPUS MOVE-IN

2016•GreekChic42

The online Move-In sign-up process will begin in June 2016.

Students who have registered for recruitment prior to June 1

will be able to sign up for an early move-in time through their

housing application. Students who do not register before the

online move-in signup system opens can email moveinhelp@

sa.ua.edu for scheduling assistance. Students who do not have a

move-in time by late July will be assigned a time by Housing

and Residential Communities (HRC).

At the end of July, all students will receive an email with their

check-in date and time, driving directions, and a move-in

parking pass sent to their UA Crimson email account. This

parking pass must be used during Move-In, so be sure to

bring it with you.

In order to make the Move-In process as easy and efficient

as possible, the number of students who can move in at each

time during the day is limited. Allowing students to continue to

select Move-In times that are already filled makes the process

more difficult for families, students, and volunteers assisting

with the process. We appreciate your understanding and your

selection of another time if your first choice is already filled.

NOTE: Please arrive on your assigned day and time. If you

arrive outside of your assigned Move-In period, you will be

directed to a holding area and will be required to wait until

your assigned time or until move-in operations have ceased for

the day.

Sorority ConvocationIs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, August 5, 2016, at Foster Auditorium.

This is a casual event, as it is understood that most students will

have spent the majority of the day moving into their residence

hall rooms. Women participating in sorority recruitment

should have no concern about moving in on the day of

convocation. Shorts and t-shirts are entirely appropriate for

this event.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the variety of times in which students

move out, students are responsible for moving their own

belongings out of the residence halls. Volunteer staff will not be

available in May. The dates available for check-in for the Fall

2016 semester are listed on the next page.

For more information about move-in, please visit http://housing.ua.edu/movein.

your permanent space is available. Please email moveinhelp@sa.ua.edu to arrange your temporary space and move-in time.
