OVERVIEW of RECRUITMENT ROUNDS
EARLY MOVE-IN
Move-in for on campus housing typically takes place the day before PNM Orientation. Potential New Members and their families will have the opportunity to move into their on-campus residence halls with the help of rho gammas and chapter women who will be happy to answer any questions! We will also have an event or activity that afternoon/evening to welcome you to campus and kick off the week! We will send you all the details about this later in the summer after you’re registered.
PNM ORIENTATION
August 16
PNM Orientation is a required event to participate in Panhellenic recruitment. It is an all-day affair where you will have the opportunity to become more familiar with the Florida State Panhellenic community, what recruitment week will look like, the transition to college life, and more! You’ll spend time on this day with your recruitment counselor group while reflecting and preparing for the recruitment process.
ROUND 1: SCHOLARSHIP
August 17 & 18
Scholarship Round is your first official introduction to the Panhellenic community. During this round, you will have the opportunity to visit all 17 chapters and get a glimpse into what it is like to be a sorority woman.
ROUND 2: INVESTMENT
August 19 & 20
Investment Round is the second round of recruitment where you will be able to ask questions and learn more about the financial obligations that come with joining each chapter. You will visit less chapters which will allow you the opportunity to spend more time with each one that you visit.
ROUND 3: LEADERSHIP/SERVICE
August 21 & 22
Leadership & Service Round is the third round of recruitment. During this round, you will have the opportunity to talk to the chapter women about the philanthropies their chapters partner with (both locally and nationally) and what leadership opportunities each chapter provides their members. During this round, you will visit less chapters and spend more time at each one allowing more meaningful time to be spent with each organization.
ROUND 4: SISTERHOOD
August 23
Sisterhood Round is the final round of recruitment and is only one day. This round is one of the most memorable and meaningful during recruitment, as chapters typically share a part of their ritual with you. This is the last day of recruitment events before Bid Day, and gives you one final look at the chapter(s) that you might become a part of in the Florida State Panhellenic community.
BID DAY
August 24
Bid Day is the last day of recruitment. You will be meeting with your Recruitment Counselor and walking to the Civic Center to open your bids! When you receive your bid, you will then be dismissed to the chapter facilities for their bid day celebration! You should plan to spend the whole day with your chapter during this celebration as you meet your new sisters!
