Frequently Asked Questions

What if I’m not the typical sorority type? There is no specific sorority type! You will find a vast array of women in every organization. We all differ in our majors, looks, interests, and place of origin. We want you to bring your uniqueness and individuality to our community. We may all be different, but we all call the same place home!

Are these sororities like in the movies? Not at all! Our primary focus is sisterhood and philanthropy. We strive towards bettering woman through offering leadership roles, workshops, and a network of friends! While we do have the social aspect, we also are a support system.You will find that our Panhellenic life here opens up a world of leadership opportunities.

Is it okay to go through recruitment as a sophomore/junior/senior? Of course! All full-time, undergraduate women are welcome! However, it is recommended that you go through your freshman/sophomore year, as you will have the maximum time to be involved! 

I plan on playing a college sports team, can I join? Completely! We have many affiliated women in sports. We also accomodate responsibilities such as nursing, ROTC, musical theatre, internships, etc. But, you have to be sure to communicate in advance your conflict to avoid a no-show fine. And when you can be present at an event, you are expected to be there! 

Will being in a sorority negatively impact my grades? No. Every chapter has an academic chair who is committed to connecting you to resources and helping you grow. Some sororities offer study sessions, study nights, and even study hours. Every sorority has a minimum GPA requirement that is normally around 2.7. If you fall below, do expect it to be taken seriously. 

Is it a huge commitment? You get out what you put in. If you are looking for a meaningful sisterhood, then you should probably make your sorority a priority. Joining a sorority is a commitment. You are expected to be at a chapter meeting every week, as well as other events (class and athletics are excused). But, that should not feel like a chore! Volunteering to clean the beach, sister yoga classes, sister study sessions, and other events are meant to be fun! 

Can I afford Panhellenic Life? There is a monetary commitment with Panhellenic life. Dues are pretty affordable, in comparison to other schools. You can expect dues as an initiated sister to be a few hundred dollars a semester. This is a relief, as many bigger schools pay a few thousand a semester. Each chapter will provide an overview of their dues structure at the start of the Primary Recruiment Process.
