Today I completed by formal recruitment experience and was offered a bid for Stockton University’s chapter, Zeta Tau Alpha. I recommend anyone even slightly considering greek life to take part in this process. The first round let’s you meet all five of the panhellenic sororities and each round both you and the sororities rank one another and are matched up in a computer system. You may not get called back and have your recruitment end if none of the sororities see you as a potential member or you can always drop and end the process if you don’t see yourself in greek life.

The first round is to meet all of the sororities and talk about your interests and academics while you also ask the sorority questions so you get to know each other. The second round is dedicated to the philanthropies so you can learn about the organization that the sororities are dedicated to funding. Preference night allows you to see your top two sororities and make the decision of which one you want to receive a bid from. And Bid Day is the final step in which you finally find out which sorority has requested you to join. The process of formal recruitment allows you to open yourself up to an friendly environment and meet a lot of amazing people that you may one day be able to call your sisters.
