Formal recruitment, sometimes called “rush,” is the main process the National Panhellenic Conference sororities at Kennesaw State University use to recruit new members. Formal recruitment is conducted two weeks after the start of fall semester, beginning on Tuesday, August 24, 2010 and concluding with Bid Day on Sunday, August 29, 2010.
The week consists of an Orientation night and four rounds of events that allow potential new members the opportunity to learn about each sorority at KSU as well as what it means to join a sorority. During the recruitment events, women will have the time to ask questions about sorority activities, financial obligations, new member programs, scholarship, community service and sorority life in general.
It is important to recognize that formal recruitment is a selection process. All women will visit every sorority during Orientation and the first round events (Sorority Info Night), but the remaining rounds are by invitation only. Just as the sororities are narrowing down the number of women attending each round of events, potential new members are gaining insight into which sorority might be the best fit for them. Panhellenic Officers and Pi Chis (Recruitment Counselors) will explain the process in detail throughout the week. Each potential new member will be assigned a Pi Chi who will be available during the entire process to answer questions.
Participation in formal recruitment DOES NOT guarantee an invitation to join a sorority, nor does it obligate a woman to join. Even if you are not invited to join a sorority, or simply decide Greek life is not for you, formal recruitment is a wonderful time to meet other KSU women, make friends, and begin developing bonds that will last throughout your collegiate career.
