Even if you registered in the fall you must register again with OFSA for the spring.
  • Students participating in NPC Formal Recruitment have a two-step registration process:

Financial Obligation (info about dues and fees) information is posted to each chapter’s site year-round.  Be sure to review that important information with your parents/family so that you can ensure you can meet a sorority’s financial obligations (dues, fees, housing requirements, etc.) should you join.
