I am going through Recruitment as an upperclassman and have heard that this will put me at a disadvantage, is this true?UF Panhellenic has implemented a selection process that gives sophomores, juniors and seniors a fair opportunity at Recruitment. The selection process is called Upperclassmen Quota. With this, you go through Recruitment as usual, but when you preference your chapters after each round you do not compete with freshmen because there are two separate pools (upperclassmen and freshmen). This system makes the process much fairer, and you do not have to worry about being at a disadvantage because of your classification. An Upperclassmen Recruitment Info Session will take place late in the Spring Semester to help provide additional information.
-
I am a legacy to a sorority - what should I know?Each Potential New Member is considered on an individual basis; a legacy is no more obligated to join a particular chapter than the chapter is obligated to offer a bid to her. Panhellenic has no policies regarding legacies because each chapter has its own policy, and Panhellenic has no input in individual chapter membership decisions. More specific questions regarding legacies should be directed by alumna to the individual chapters.
-
Does the Panhellenic Council have a Spring Recruitment process?Yes, the University of Florida does have a Spring Recruitment process which typically begins toward the end of January each year. This process is informal, meaning there is no registration or fee required to participate.
-
When do I move in if I register for Recruitment?Upon completing your registration for Recruitment, your information will be promptly forwarded to Housing and Residence Life, securing your spot for early move-in on Thursday, August 15th. It's important to note that August 15th is the sole designated day for early move-in for PNMs. Your specific move-in time will be assigned by Housing and Residence Life and communicated to you before the 15th.
