This document provides information and guidelines for potential new members going through formal sorority recruitment at Georgia College. It outlines expectations for respectful behavior, attendance at events, and maintaining confidentiality. It also answers some common questions about the recruitment process, such as whether a bid is required to be accepted, upperclassmen's chances of receiving a bid, balancing academics with sorority involvement, and the likelihood of friends receiving bids to the same sorority. The overall message is that recruitment is an opportunity to meet new people and find the best fit, while upholding the values of the Panhellenic community.
2. Dear Future Sorority Woman,
I am so excited for you to enter into sorority life here at Georgia College.
The Panhellenic sisterhood is very special and I cannot wait to meet you and
help you find your home at GC.
You are going to meet so many women with different backgrounds, views,
and experiences. However, we all have one common goal: to encourage each
other to be better. You will have sisters who are a part of Student
Government, ministry, sports teams, and just about every extra curricular on
our campus who will help you figure out what you want to be a part of. Our
sisterhoods are unique, but we continue to strive for the same things. We
strive to maintain high morals, academic excellence, and promoting the
good of the community through our sisterhood events, philanthropy events,
and college life.
College is a place where you become the person you want to be and our
sororities help keep us in check with sisters who truly want you to be safe,
to achieve your goals, and to succeed. Our goal is to help you find your
home. I do not know where I would be without my sisterhood because it has
taught me so much about what it means to be a successful woman through
holding positions, service projects, and the relationships it has given me.
Sincerely,
Micah Parr, Panhellenic President

Legacy: A daughter, sister or granddaughter of an initiated member of a sorority. Typically,
different groups have different definitions of legacies. Being a legacy does not guarantee a

invitations to legacies during recruitment.
MRABA: The Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement. This is a one-year
binding agreement signed by a potential new member when ranking chapters after
preference round. A PNM agrees to accept a bid from any chapter she lists on her MRABA. If
a PNM receives a bid to a chapter she lists and declines it, she is bound to it for one year or

organization. If a PNM signs an MRABA and does not receive a bid, she is eligible for
continuous open bidding or snap bidding.

the number of women participating in bid matching.
Recommendation: A form completed by an alumna member of a sorority recommending a
potential new member for membership. At Georgia College, we encourage recommendation
letters, but do not require them. If you would like to send a recommendation, you can mail
it to:

Campus Box 002
Milledgeville, GA 31061

as a recruitment guide. Each PNM will be assigned a recruitment counselor during formal
recruitment. At Georgia College, we call recruitment counselors Pi Chis (ΠΧ).
Silence: A period of time after the close of membership recruitment events and prior to the
distribution of bids when there is no communication between potential new members and
sorority members.
Snap Bidding: An option available to chapters that did not fill quota. Chapters may offer
bids to potential new members whose preferences were not matched, meaning they would
not be extended a bid by chapters they listed on their preference rankings after preference
round. This process takes place before bids are distributed, and a potential new member
would receive a phone call or other contact by a sorority offering her a snap bid. If she
chooses to accept, the new member would participate in normal Bid Day activities.

including new and active members. Chapters that fall under total may be allowed to

fairness and equality between the groups. Several of these agreements have to do with
recruitment procedures.

that their individual values align with the values of the organization.

Q: If I join a sorority, will I have time to study?
A: Time management skills are very important to your success as a collegestudent, especially one that is eager to become engaged at Georgia College. All of our organizations maintain
academic requirements and offer support and programs tohelp you succeed.
Q: I am going through recruitment with my best friend, what is the chance we will both get into the same sorority?
A: The purpose of the recruitment process is toallow you and the chapters to decideon the best fit. We encourageall potential new members toapproach this process with an openmind.
You will each meet womenin these sororities that you make a connection with. Trust your gut and remember that this processis about you and where you best feel comfortable.
Q: I heard there are more sororities at Georgia College other than the six Panhellenic organizations? Who are they are why aren’t they in recruitment? Can I join both?
Georgia College Panhellenic Councilis oneof four Fraternity and Sorority Life councils on campus. Panhellenic recruitmentonly involves six sororities, becausethose are themember
sororities for that council. There are sororities within two of theother councils, NationalPan-Hellenic Council andUnited Greek Council. Our community strives to offer a place to any
student that is interested injoining a fraternity or sorority. If you would like to learn more about these other organizations, please contact the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at

14. The Circle of Sisterhood Foundation is a mechanism by which all sorority women can stand together across affiliation, age, color, and creed to
make a difference in the lives of millions of girls and women around the world. Collectively, we are one of the largest communities of college-
education women in the world while not even seven percent of the world – men and women combined – has college degrees, and two thirds of
all illiterate adults are women. Standing together as one community, we will give girls and women an equal chance for rewarding lives and
livelihoods through schooling, the learning of a trade, or even a college degree.
Whether founded in the 1800s or in the 2000s, sororities place a high priority on
volunteering and community engagement. Together, sororities donate millions of
domestic dollars every year to help eliminate life-shattering diseases, raise awareness
for important health issues, as well as tackling local issues such as domestic-violence
against women, illiteracy among youth, environmental stewardship, and aid to the
disabled and aging.
And the world is changing. Boundaries are disintegrating and technology allows us to
live in a global neighborhood. Today’s sorority women understand and appreciate
others on a global scale, realizing that they have the wherewithal to make a
difference for the less fortunate both domestically and globally. As college educated
women, we know the value of achieving an education, and we believe that every girl
in the world deserves the opportunity to go to school.
15. During Sorority 101, we will be making school supplies bags to distribute to children in
the local community. Please consider participating by bringing a few of the following

20. Sorority 101 is a Georgia College Panhellenic program that all potential new members participate in before beginning the formal recruitment process. The
purpose of Sorority 101 is to help students prepare for college life and to understand the role sorority life plays in that experience. Sorority 101 embodies the
values of sisterhood, as this is an opportunity for our campus’ most respected sorority women to empower you with the lessons they have learned along the way.
Sorority 101 will kick off with recruitment orientation and a keynote titled A Chat with Chaney. Chaney will lead us through a discussion about what it means to
be a sorority woman on Georgia College’s campus, in your daily life, and in the future. We will be exploring the possibilities of finding joy in every process of
being in a sorority and how to make the most of your experience.
Following the keynote, PNMs will break into groups and travel through each of the following topics:
The Expectations of
Membership
Starting college, joining a sorority, meeting new people, managing assignments…it can be a lot! We will spend some time talking about the
expectations of sorority life and how to balance it all!
Mental Health First
Aid Kit
School is important, but you cannot accomplish anything if you do not have a clear mind. Keeping your mind and body healthy will help you succeed
in everything you do! We will chat about stress management and explore resources on campus to help you have a successful and healthy experience
at GC.
Circle of Sisterhood
Circle of Sisterhood is Panhellenic Council’s philanthropy.
We will be participating in a service project that will provide school supplies to local children and boost their confidence about learning and
education.
What Your Momma
Didn’t Tell You
When coming into sorority life and college in general, there are a lot of questions that you may have and some of them may not be easy to ask your
parents – and those question may not have the easiest answers. We are here to help! We are going to cover all the topics you may be wondering
about and that college entails but just aren’t exactly sure where to get your information. Prepare yourself for some honest time and get
straightforward answers as young adults entering your college career.
21.
22. Just like many things that make each sorority unique, the cost of membership is different for every group. Each
organization sets their own budget that is voted on by the chapter members. Some chapters’ budgets include all of the
year’s activities, while others do not include all activities. Instead, members pay only for the events and activities they
attend. To give potential new members an idea of the cost of membership, we have provided a range of the costs of
common fees charged by sororities at Georgia College for the first year of membership.
$1,200-$1,600
The most expensive time in Fraternity and Sorority Life is during the first semester of membership. The fees paid during
your first year of membership include fees such as:
Inter/National Fees Sisterhood Events Parlor/Housing Corporation Fee
Date/Social Events Philanthropy Events Technology Fee
Initiation Fee* Badge Fee* T-Shirts
One time fees required during the new member period have been denoted with an (*).
Like the best things in life, the more you put into your sorority experience, the more you will gain from it. Sorority life is a
great place to learn time management as you will have the opportunity to participate in leadership roles, serve on
committee, volunteer, and of course, make new friends. During your time as a new member, you will attend weekly new
member education sessions. Some of the sorority chapters will also invite you to attend their weekly chapter meting. Our
sororities are also going to support you academic endeavors by offering study sessions and major-mentor groups.
23.
24. Day 1: Meet and Greet
Potential new members (PNMs) typically wear
sundresses and nice rompers on meet and greet
day.
You can wear whatever shoes are comfortable
to you, you will be visiting each house and
walking tons! Comfortable shoes are key!
Day 2: Philanthropy
You will be provided with a Circle of Sisterhood
t-shirt, the Panhellenic philanthropy, which you
can pair with a skirt or pair of shorts of your
choice. Please no jean shorts
25. Day 3: Sisterhood & Leadership
During this round of recruitment you will be
provided with another t-shirt. The t-shirt will be
a white V-neck with the Panhellenic crest. Pair
the t-shirt with some colored shorts or skirts,
but no denim please.
Day 4: Preference
This is the day that you wear your favorite dress
or skirt. Chapter women typically dress in “pin
attire,” which refers to attire that would be
worn to an interview. You want to look and feel
your best on this day because it is a special day
during the recruitment period.
26. Bid Day
This day you will be given another t-shirt to pair which shorts or
skirts of your choice. PNMs usually wear athletic shorts and
tennis shoes on this day as they run to their new home. If you
choose to wear a skirt, please wear shorts or spanks underneath
for the run out. We also advise PNMs to wear sports bras or
camisoles because you will be changing into your new shirt given
to you by your sorority.
