What is Recruitment?
Panhellenic recruitment at the University of North Florida is a tremendous way to meet people while getting involved not only on campus but in the Jacksonville community. It is also a great way to network, which can benefit your future professional life. When going through recruitment PNM's (Potential New Members) should expect to meet tons of new people, including sorority women and other potential new members. UNF Formal Sorority Recruitment is an opportunity that is only available during the Fall semester; it consists of four rounds of events (Welcome Round, Philanthropy Round, Sisterhood Round& Preference Round) that allows potential new members to get to know more about each individual chapter we have here on campus. These events will give PNM's a chance to discover which sorority is the best match for her. Each night will give you a chance to ask the different questions you might have came up with about each chapter.
Recruitment Schedule
Welcome Round
- During Sisterhood Round, PNM's will be meeting all seven chapters that our UNF Campus has. This night is the most relaxed night as overall, each chapter is just trying to get to know the PNM's for who they are.
- During Philanthropy round, PNM's will be returning to a maximum of 5 chapters. Philanthropy night gives the chapters a chance to showcase their national philanthropy and their chapters involvement in not only fundraising for their cause but also awareness and experience.
- During Sisterhood round, PNMs will be returning to a maximum of 3 chapters. Sisterhood night gives the chapters a chance to show the women what being in their chapter is like.
- During Preference Round, PNM's will be returning to a maximum of 2 chapters. Preference is the most emphasized night in importance. Pref Night is a night of self-reflection of the week and where PNM's truly believe they belong. This gives PNM's the opportunities to talk with their Rho Gamma's about their values and how they align with the chapters they will be returning to.
- The most exciting day of them all! On Bid Day, PNM's will find out what chapter they have been invited to become a member of. This day is filled with so many emotions of excitement, anticipation and even relief! After it is revealed what chapter they are invited to join, the newly New Members get to run home to their new sisters! Afterwards, each chapter prepares a celebration that new members will be attending.

Helpful Hints & Tips
- When going through formal sorority recruitment the key most important thing is to be yourself! In order to find a good match, don’t try to be the sorority girls you see in movies. Matter of fact, almost all sorority women are not those girls. Most sorority women are nice, genuine, down to earth people.
- When in each sorority room, be sure to ask questions! The more you know about them, the better decision you will be able to make during the selection process.
- Make sure to keep and open mind throughout the entire process. Be sure to make your own decisions based off of the connections made in the rooms. Think about your own values and where do you see those aligning in the chapters you visited.
- Most importantly, Have fun! Remember: For most people, this is a once in a life time opportunity! Truly take everything in and begin the processes of making friendships that will last a life time!
