Fall 2026 Informal Recruitment

Click Here to Register for Fall Recruitment

Fall Recruitment is September 1st – 14th

 

Any student who wants to participate in fall recruitment must register with the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs.  Register early so chapters can include you on their distribution list of info related to fall recruitment events.

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 2027 recruitment. Upper-Class and Transfer students may join in the fall provided they meet the terms of Academic Eligibility.
  • Limited by sorority size.  Only chapters with space in their roster may invite students to join in the fall.  We won’t know which chapters are taking new members until late August. The average new member class size is between 10 – 20.

Fall Recruitment Events:

  • Visit the social media sites of the sororities you are interested in to find out more details (date, location, time and how to RSVP) about their individual Meet the Sisters events.
  • Attend more than one organization’s recruitment events and attend more than one event at each chapter – explore your options!
  • If a Meet the Sisters event will be held twice on one night you only need to attend once.
  • Events are open to all interested women, with the exception of “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, or you feel ill, please wear a mask as we want to keep everyone safe and healthy.
  • Need more info?  Email recruitment.rupc@gmail.com

Financial Obligations:

Each organization’s Financial Obligations (dues and fees) will be included on their page in our website by August 1, however current fees and dues information is still listed on their pages. Students are encouraged to review this info with their parent/family members so they may make informed decisions together.

Items covered in the fees will vary from group to group i.e. Meal Plan and Housing costs.  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.

If You Are Asked To Join:

At the completion of recruitment, students who are invited to join an NPC sorority will be asked to sign a Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement (MRABA).

The MRABA is a binding contract between the Potential New Member and the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC).  All NPC member organizations must follow the terms of the contract found on our site.  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 please email ofsa@echo.rutgers.edu
