Recruitment Registration – Fall Informal Recruitment – September 3 – 15
Any student who wants to participate in fall recruitment must register with the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs. Be sure to register early so chapters can include you on their distribution list of info related to fall recruitment events.
All of our member sororities are expected to hold a Meet the Sisters event once a month during the fall. Interested students are encouraged to attend more than one organization’s recruitment events so they may find the group best suited for them.
Opportunities for joining in the fall are:
- Limited to Upper-Class and Transfer students. First Year students may attend events, but may not join until spring 2025 recruitment in late January. All students must meet our academic eligibility standards in order to participate in recruitment.
- Limited by sorority membership rosters. Only those chapters with space in their roster may invite students to join this semester. We won’t be able to determine which chapters will have space in their roster until late August. All chapters will take new members in the spring during formal recruitment.
Individual Chapter Recruitment Events & Contact Info will be shared in late August.
Fall Recruitment Tips:
- Visit the social media sites of the sororities you are interested in to find out more details about their individual Meet the Sisters events.
- If events are being held virtually we’ll specify, otherwise the event is in person.
- If more than one time is given for a Meet the Sisters you only need to attend one event, no need to attend both times.
- All events are open to all interested women, with the exception of the “by invitation only” events
- In person events may take place in the chapter’s lettered house on or near the College Ave campus (if they have one) or in a campus student center or academic building.
- If in person events are taking place, and masks are needed, please wear your mask as we want to keep everyone safe and healthy.

Financial Obligations:
Each organization’s Fall 2024 Financial Obligations (dues and fees) will be included on their page in our website by August 1. Be advised, items covered in the fees will vary from group to group. Meal Plan and Housing costs are also included in this document. It is the responsibility of each Potential New Member to read and understand the financial obligations of the organization BEFORE accepting an invitation to join. Students are encouraged to review this info with their parent/family members so they may make informed decisions together.

IF YOU DECIDE TO JOIN:
NPC sororities want every Potential New Member to be informed about their options for joining a sorority. At the completion of the recruitment process, students who are invited to join an NPC organization will be asked to sign a fall membership recruitment acceptance binding agreement (MRABA). The MRABA is a binding contract with the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC). All NPC member organizations pledge to follow the terms of the contract. Students are only asked to sign the MRABA after they’ve been invited by an NPC sorority to join their organization. The terms of the fall MRABA are described below. Students should not enter into this contract with the sorority they have been asked to join unless they understand the terms. If you have questions or need further support regarding this decision, please email ofsa@echo.rutgers.edu
