What To Wear & Expect
Day 1: Kick Off
Monday, August 10th, 2020
On this day, Potential New Members (PNMs) will attend a kickoff session to meet Gamma Chi’s and other women participating in recruitment. Each Panhellenic chapter will give a presentation on their chapter, and the Recruitment Team will provide guidelines and expectations for the rest of the week. We suggest wearing “snappy casual” attire. Examples of appropriate attire include a casual top, shorts, a skirt or pants, and flip flops, sandals or tennis shoes.
Day 2: Service Day
Day 3: Philanthropy Day
Wednesday, August 12th, 2020
This day, Potential New Members will meet all six Panhellenic chapters, and learn about each chapter’s philanthropy. The PNMs will wear a recruitment t-shirt provided to them at kick off. This shirt can be worn with shorts, a skirt, or pants.
Day 5: Preference Day
Friday, August 14th, 2020
Preference Day serves as the last round of recruitment, and conversations are the most serious. A sorority’s invitation to this round means that they are very interested in a PNM joining their chapter. PNMs will decide what sorority they wish to join on this day. Preference events are the most formal events of recruitment; recommended attire includes a cocktail dress with heels, wedges or flats.
Tuesday, August 11th, 2020
On Service Day, Potential New Members will participate in a service activity with their Gamma Chi groups. Attire for this day would be comfortable shorts and t-shirt with tennis shoes. All participants MUST wear closed toed shoes at the Food Bank. After the service project, we will enjoy a sisterhood event with other Potential New Members and Gamma Chis in the Student Union Theater later that evening. Attire for this event should be comfortable clothes, or pajamas.
Day 4: Sisterhood Day
Thursday, August 13th, 2020
Sisterhood day will allow Potential New Members to experience the sisterhood found in each sorority. During this day’s events, sororities will showcase the activities they host or participate in throughout the year. PNMs will attend a maximum of four events on Sisterhood day. Recommended attire for this day includes a sundress, romper, or jumpsuit with flats, sandals, or heels.
Day 6: Bid Day
Saturday, August 15th, 2020
On Bid day, Potential New Members will receive a bid from a sorority offering them membership. Each sorority will have different activities planned for their new members, where they will celebrate the rest of the day. These activities range from pool parties to barbecues. Wear something comfortable such as shorts, tennis shoes or flip flops and the t-shirt provided at kick off. Each sorority will provide new members with a Bid Day t-shirt, which everyone in the chapter will wear.
