Formal Recruitment

Registration cost for Fall Primary recruitment is 50 dollars. You must pay your recruitment fee when you register through CampusDirector. 

Be comfortable! Casual attire is expected throughout recruitment except for on preference day. Remember that you’ll be moving around and standing so we discourage you from wearing uncomfortable shoes or heels at any point during the weekend.

MRABA stand for Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement. The MRABA is signed before final selections are made during Preference round. It’s a binding agreement that must be signed at the completion of recruitment in order for a potential new member to receive a bid of membership from a sorority.

Each sorority has basic time commitments and mandatory events such as chapter meetings and New Member meetings. Time commitment for being a sorority member can vary from person to person depending on chapter positions and outside commitments. But many sorority members are able to manage sorority responsibilities with jobs or internships, academics and involvement in other campus organizations. Don’t be afraid to ask members during recruitment about how they manage their time between sorority and personal life! 

There is no obligation to continue the process if you do not want to. The recruitment process is structured to allow potential new members interested in sorority membership to explore Panhellenic, and see if it is the right fit. 

Participating in either fall sorority recruitment or informal recruitment is a personal preference. During fall sorority recruitment you are able to meet every chapter on campus. During informal recruitment, potential new members are only able to visit the chapters who are eligible and participating. This may only be one or two organizations. 

For any conflicts or scheduling issues please email panhellenicrecruitment@uvm.edu. Someone from the recruitment team will follow up with you.
