PHC sisterHooD rounD, friDay Again, you will receive your schedule for the evening from your recruitment counselor. You will visit a maximum of five chapters. With 45 minutes at each chapter house, you will get the opportunity to begin to understand what it means to be a sister of each chapter. This night is more serious and, in many cases, more emotional. In most houses, you will see a video or presentation about the sisterhood. This is an ideal time to ask questions about sisters’ personal experiences. The attire is a little dressier for this round. suGGestions: dress pants, winter skirt, dressy blouse, heeled boots. Remember it will be cold, please bring appropriate clothes to stay warm when you are outside. 80 Portico 2009-2010 Preference rounD, saturDay You will receive your schedule for the evening from your recruitment counselor. You will visit a maximum of three chapters. The hour-long event at each chapter house may include personal testimonies from sisters, or you may be invited to participate in a chapter ritual. This evening allows you to get even closer to women you have met in each chapter. This is the time to start thinking about which chapter you feel most comfortable in and where you can see yourself for life. This night is the most formal and, consequently, the dressiest. suGGestions: dress/suit pants, cocktail blouse, cocktail dress, sleeved dress, closed-toed sandals/dress shoes. Remember it will be cold, please bring appropriate clothes to stay warm when you are outside.
INFOrMAL rECruITMENT Although the formal recruitment program is our largest means of bringing new members into our organizations, we also have a period called informal recruitment that takes place each fall semester and after formal recruitment in the spring. There are many differences between formal and informal recruitment that are important to keep in mind. Many women find the informal, relaxed atmosphere of open recruitment as a less stressful and more enjoyable way to take part in Greek Life at Virginia Tech. Like formal recruitment you must have at least 12 hours and a 2.0 GPA before a sorority can extend you an invitation to join. Therefore, first semester freshmen cannot participate in informal recruitment. There are many differences between formal and informal recruitment that are important to keep in mind: 1. Informal recruitment usually does not involve all of the sororities. Those who do take part usually have only a few spots open for new members. Since you will not be meeting all of our chapters it is important you know you feel comfortable with the chapter you are considering during informal recruitment. If you want the chance to explore all sororities, formal recruitment is the place for you. 2. Next, informal recruitment is a much less structured process. You do not get the overall view of Greek life, nor do you see what each sorority is about. Because of this limited spectrum, most of the women who go through informal recruitment already have a better feel for which sororities they would be comfortable joining. 3. Lastly, because most sororities do not accept many women during informal recruitment, you experience a different “new member period” than the majority of women in sororities have. Many times these are smaller new member classes. However, you still have the same opportunities to bond with your new member class as a group. PHC Portico 2009-2010 81
