Panhellenic Women's Recruitment

Dear Potential New Member,

Congratulations on your outstanding academic achievements in high school and for being admitted to the Texas Christian University Class of 2013.  The faculty, staff, alumni and students are anticipating your August arrival.  We believe the next four years will be an exciting time in your life.

In the upcoming months, you will receive information from the Panhellenic Association directing you to the TCU Fraternity and Sorority Life Web page (www.greeks.tcu.edu) for Fall 2009 Formal Panhellenic Recruitment information.  We hope you will consider joining the over 1,000 students that will participate in Fall Men’s and Women’s Recruitment.

In order to assist you in the Recruitment process, we want to outline several regulations that the 11 NPC sororities at TCU have established. 

  1. Alcohol is strictly prohibited during any Recruitment activity. 
  2. No potential new member should attend any party with alcohol regardless of who sends the invitation.  These parties are prohibited. 
  3. You cannot attend any tea, alumnae event, dinner, lunch, breakfast or any event hosted by a sorority, sorority members or sorority alumnae beginning May 8, 2009. 
  4. You cannot spend the night with any member of a sorority before, during or after Frog Camp and/or Orientation. 
  5. You cannot contact any member or alumnae of a sorority via Facebook, MySpace or any other online social network after May 8, 2009. 
  6. You are strongly encouraged to obtain recommendations for each organization.  Mailing addresses for each organization can be found on the Fraternity and Sorority Life Web page.  We recommend your letters of recommendations are mailed to each organization no later than August 1, 2009. 
  7. You must complete your registration materials online via the Fraternity and Sorority Life Web page.  Registration materials will be posted by June 1, 2009 and we encourage you to complete the registration material by July 15, 2009; however, we will accept registration materials up to August 17, 2009.
  8. We highly encourage that you attend one of the TCU Academic Orientation sessions offered in June.  Orientation is required for all new students.   For more information visit the Orientation Web page (www.orientation.tcu.edu).

If you choose to violate one of the guidelines that were established by our 11 sororities, your opportunity for success during recruitment will decrease.  If one of our chapters, members or alumnae breaks one of the policies, it is a poor reflection on the sorority and we request you to contact the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at 817-257-7281.

We are confident you will enjoy TCU and truly hope you will consider participating in Panhellenic Recruitment.  Our academic standards, philanthropic endeavors, leadership, development and so much more will enhance your experience in college.

If you have any questions or comments about this letter or anything pertaining to Recruitment, please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at 817-257-7281.
