SORORITY RECRUITMENT
Panhellenic recruitment is a mutual selection process that is filled with activities designed to offer prospective members the chance to learn about the National Panhellenic Conference women's fraternities and sororities at Illinois Wesleyan University in a concentrated period of time. Formal recruitment allows chapter members to discuss the benefits of sorority affiliation and the requirements of membership. Whether or not you decide to join a women's fraternity or sorority, formal recruitment is a great way to meet people and get acquainted with life at IWU.

For more information, please contact Kelsey Adams at kadams@iwu.edu or Lori Battern at lbattern@iwu.edu.

Pre-Recruitment Events
The College Panhellenic Council will be hosting a variety of pre-recruitment events designed to allow interested students an opportunity to see if sorority life is for them without having to participate in the formal recruitment process. This is also an opportunity for any potential new members who will miss a night during formal recruitment to get to know the chapter members. Attendance at pre-recruitment events is not required, but it is suggested.

The CPH is still finalizing the details of our Pre-Recruitment Events and will be posting them as soon as possible.
