We want to thank all of those who were able to attend our Haunted Open House on October 8th! In case you missed it, Potential New Members got to meet each of the Chapters and learn about what the sorority experience has been like for each chapter. Chapters shared about their philanthropies and the anti-racism work they have been doing to create a more inclusive community. Chapters also shared virtual events they have been holding such as Zoom baking classes, workout sessions, and more! To continue keeping up to date with each chapter, don’t forget to follow each of them on Instagram -- @usdpanhellenic @usdfsl @usdaxo @usdadpi @usdgammaphibeta

FAQ'S

What is Primary Panhellenic Recruitment?

Panhellenic Primary Recruitment is the process of a Potential New Member (PNM) meeting all Panhellenic chapters at USD and finding the right sorority for her based on mutual values and interests. Primary Recruitment is a unique opportunity to learn about each chapter, meet the women involved in sorority life, as well as provide space for them to get to know the Potential New Members. Recruitment is based on mutual selection. Each day PNMs select the chapters that they feel best align with their values and the chapters select PNMs as well. Each day PNMs will attend fewer events than the day before, becoming steps closer to the best fit, new sisters, and a new home here at USD.

How can I learn more information about USD's Panhellenic chapters?

There are currently nine sororities at the University of San Diego. There are 2 sororities in the Fraternity and Sorority Multicultural Council, Sigma Theta Psi Sorority Inc., and Alpha Sigma Nu Sorority Inc. Follow @usdfsmc to stay up to date and learn more about our multicultural sororities and their recruitment processes. There are seven Panhellenic sororities: Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Pi Beta Phi. Explore their history, present state, social media, and the local or national website's under their pages on our website.
