We are so excited that you have considered participating in sorority recruitment! Sorority recruitment is a great way to make friendships that will last a lifetime. As values-based organizations, the 5 NPC member sororities at South live their missions, with their members providing thousands of dollars in philanthropic support to dozens of worthy causes and pursuing additional hours in community service. From supporting victims of sexual assault, to leading bystander intervention programs, to fighting for body-positive campus cultures, sorority women are at the forefront of solving some of the most pressing challenges facing collegiate women today..

The University of South Alabama College Panhellenic Council will take in new members at the beginning of the fall semester. Interested women must register online to participate in recruitment. 

The registration form is a step by step process and will ask for general information that will be distributed to the sororities.  We encourage you to gather the information below before you begin registering since you have to complete the form once you start.

Gather the information below before you begin registering since you have to complete the form once you start

• Your high school address and phone number.
• A digital picture of yourself on your computer that you can download to the registration form.
• A debit card, credit card or check information to pay on-line.
• Your University of South Alabama e-mail address. Please be very careful to enter your e-mail address correctly, we correspond by e-mail to you and every year we have women who enter this incorrectly and we can't get them important information.
• Your high school GPA
• The name, addresses, phone numbers of one guardian
• If you have attended college, your hours completed and GPA
• A listing of your high school activities. Think about what student groups you belonged to, what offices you held, church group activities, community activities and volunteer activities. If you are a transfer student or a current South student, you will also want to list your college activities.
• You can attach a resume to the application.

Please note that you will be asked for your student id number and where you will be living fall semester. There is a $50.00 recruitment registration fee that you will need to pay to complete the registration.  

Carefully review your information before submitting the registration form. The form may only be submitted one time. We encourage you to register as early as possible. 

Recruitment Team

A Pi Chi is a recruitment guide for potential new members (PNMs) who are participating in the formal recruitment process. Pi Chis disaffiliate from their own chapter prior to and during recruitment and act as an unbiased source of information and support for the PNMs.  Potential New Members (PNMs) are  highly encouraged to utilize the Pi Chis as a resource to FSL on our campus.

PNM's become part of a Pi Chi group led by one of the Pi Chis. PNMs will meet with this group throughout the week of Recruitment so be sure to take advantage of the opportunity to start building friendships with the other women in your Pi Chi group.

For more information about CPC recruitment or to ask a question please email Riley, Vice President of Panhellenic Recruitment @ cpcrecruitment@southalabama.edu.

What to Wear

Recommendation Letters

As you prepare for sorority recruitment on your campus, you may be told about recommendation letters. While not all campuses and sororities require them, we want you to be fully informed about letters of recommendation; what they are, what should be included, and how to submit them if you decide to do so.

For the most part, NPC sororities are now utilizing online tools, such as a form on the sorority’s website, to submit letters of recommendation. Each sorority has its own policy and form to fill out, so it will be important that recommenders use the system that is most appropriate for their member organization.

Continuous Open Bidding (COB)

Upon the conclusion of the the primary recruitment period for the University of South Alabama Panhellenic Association in August, women have an opportunity to participate in informal recruitment process. Given that College Panhellenics are only allowed to host one formal recruitment per year, the The University of South Alabama College Panhellenic Council does NOT host a formalized spring recruitment.  However, the University of South Alabama does have informal recruitment opportunities, so women interested in sorority membership following the conclusion of fall formal recruitment in the fall or in the spring can choose to complete the COB Interest Form by clicking on the link below.

Information for Parents and Friends

We know how important it is for families to feel informed and supported during sorority recruitment. That’s why we recommend Parent/Caregiver 101, a free online orientation designed to help you better understand the recruitment process, sorority life, and how to support your student through it all.
