Sorority Recruitment 2013: Fast Facts

It’s that time of year again. The Greek Girls look for the best and brightest to join their ranks. There are over seven hundred Marquette students in the Greek Community on our campus. This community did over five thousand hours of community service last year alone. Marquette University is home to eight Nation Panhellenic Conference sororities, five of which will be participating in formal spring recruitment beginning Wednesday. The other three have different recruitment processes because they are more specialized than social sororities. There are also seven other sororities that fall under the National Pan-Hellenic Counsel, which oversees chapters designated for specific ethnicities. For more information on these chapters, click here. 

Formal Recruitment will take place from January 23rd-27th. Here’s the week’s events: 

• Wednesday January 23rd: Recruitment 101
• Thursday January 24nd: Meet the Chapters
• Friday January 25rd: Philanthropy Night
• Saturday January 26th: Preference Night
• Sunday January 27th: Bid Day!
