2 Sisterhood

As you go through recruitment, you will surely notice that no two sororities are made up of members who are all alike. Each chapter has its own sense of diversity and individuality. However, you will notice a common bond among the members of each chapter that is also unique and private. When you associate yourself with a sorority, you are not just meeting new friends or acquiring a place to live and have fun, you are becoming a part of a sisterhood. You will enjoy the benefits of friendships that will last a lifetime.

Sisterhood is bonding together in love and in friendship, while striving for similar goals. Being a part of a sorority is something that cannot be compared to anything else. To know of its existence is one thing, but to experience it is another. Be a part of a great segment of university life – be a part of the IU Greek Community.

13 Scholarship

The Greek Community supports the value of a college education and places scholarship as one of the highest priorities for its members. Sororities provide opportunities to earn awards, recognition and scholarships for academic success. Support and help are always forthcoming through study/quiet hours, skills workshops, tutoring groups and several informal programs. In addition, PHA expects each chapter to maintain an acceptable overall grade point average. Last semester's Panhellenic grade point average: 3.3188, while the GPA of all undergraduate women was 3.231.

Philanthropy One of the most gratifying aspects of fraternity/ sorority life is the sense of satisfaction and pride that comes with involvement in philanthropy and community service. Not only is there a personal benefit of service, but also the community and its residents benefit from involved college members. Fund-raising events and hands-on service activities are organized each year by fraternities and sororities in order to benefit worthwhile charities and community agencies. Such projects help build moral character through the realization of the needs of people less fortunate and encourage members to give back to the community. Each year, individual chapters participate in philanthropy projects ranging from working with Big Brothers and Big Sisters to fund- raising drives for the Heart Fund, American Cancer Society, Muscular Dystrophy, and Riley Hospital for Children. Whether visiting residents at a local nursing home, painting public buildings, or skating with pre-schoolers, the fraternity/sorority member experiences a feeling of well-being and a sense of worth that comes from the simple expression of care for others.

4 Social Opportunities

The Indiana University Greek Community continuously provides its members opportunities to interact and communicate with others. Social and recreational activities give you the chance to meet a variety of people in other sororities and fraternities. Often times, chapters may pair to have a barbeque to enjoy dinner with new people. Formal dances, barn dances, intramurals, retreats, athletic competitions, alumnae picnics, and parents weekends’ are other ways that members of the Greek Community enjoy spending their time.

This year is the first year in many years that IU Greeks will participate in Greek Week! Greek Week is an exciting time for chapters on IU's campus. This week is dedicated to competitions, events, and activities that will promote Greek Life to the campus and the community. Everything from competitions to concerts will be held for fraternity and sorority members to enjoy!

Leadership

One of the many reasons potential members decide to Go Greek is the leadership opportunities that the Greek system provides. Nowadays, it takes more than just a college degree to be successful and becoming a proactive member in a Greek chapter is one of the best ways you can discover and develop your leadership skills.

Sororities are self-governing, allowing for many leadership opportunities within the chapter ranging from treasurer to president to intramurals coordinator. Not only are there opportunities within the chapter but joining a sorority will open endless doors to get involved on campus. IU Greek members participate throughout campus and within student organizations. IU Greek leadership is present in organizations like IU Student Foundation, Student Athletic Board, IU Student Association, and a variety of other organizations and service groups.

15 Little 500 Known by many as the “Worlds Greatest College Weekend.” Little 500 is a fun-filled and competitive week of events. The Indiana University Student Foundation sponsors the men’s bike race that began in 1950 and the women’s race that began in 1988. In the late fall, chapters cheer on their bike teams as they look for victory in the Bill Armstrong Stadium.

IU Sing

IU Sing, which began in 1920, is one of the first major bonding experiences that pledge classes have together. Each act participates in writing, producing, and participating in IU Sing. Almost 3,000 students participate every year, a majority of which are fraternities and sororities. Greeks pair into teams where they compete against other student groups and other Greeks.

Intramurals

Indiana University boasts an intramural program that offers 45 activities throughout the school year. The members of the Greek community are proud of their annual participation in all of these sports. These intramurals range from flag football and archery, to riding in the prestigious Little 500 bicycle race. Each year these sports spur enthusiasm and intense competition for all levels of athletes. Intramurals are just one example of the several positive programs offered to keep you active and help you meet new people at IU.

6 Starting your Future in the Greek Community

Bid Night Bid Day is the day potential new members receive an invitation from a chapter. New members flock to their respective chapter, which will soon become home. This fun and exciting event allows new members to meet their new pledge sisters as well as the chapter’s current members.

New Membership New membership is one of the most memorable and exciting aspects of your Greek life experience. It is a time of fun, friendship, learning and growing; it is a period of orientations and responsibility. As a new member you will learn the chapter’s creed and its history to build a better understanding of the principles by which your chapter is guided. You will work with your sisters in planning social events and community projects, as well as work with other members of the Greek Community. New membership is forming lifelong friendships while pursuing high ideals and common interests. Initiation This is a ceremony that takes place after new membership is completed and you have met your chapter’s requirement for initiation. Revealed to you will be the chapter’s secrets and most sacred rituals. Upon the completion of initiation, you are considered an active member of your respective sorority. This is not only a serious and important ceremony, it is also a great learning experience you can share through sisterhood.

8 Greek Community

Indiana University is home to one of the largest and oldest Greek systems in the country. Aboout 18 percent of IU undergraduates choose to participate in Greek-letter organizations. For these students, the Greek system offers a home away from home, friendships and social and philanthropic activities.

There are four councils that make up the IU Greek Community. Each of the councils offers different opportunities and experiences to their members. Each of the organizations, regardless to the council they belong to, are founded on similar pillars – service, values, community, self- improvement, scholarship, sisterhood and brotherhood. Multi-Cultural Greek Council (MCGC)

The Multi-Cultural Greek Council is composed of seven chapters at Indiana University. MCGC commits itself to academic excellence, leadership development and service to the community enhanced by culturally diverse social fraternities and sororities. In all its endeavors, it promotes cultural awareness, bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood, and unity amongst all. MCGC members include:

Delta Phi Omega Sigma Lambda Beta Gamma Phi Omega Sigma Lambda Gamma Kappa Gamma Delta Sigma Lambda Upsilon Lambda Alpha Phi Theta Nu Xi Lambda Upsilon Lambda

For more information about MCGC recruitment or the council, please visit www.indiana.edu/~mcgc. National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC)

The National Pan-Hellenic Council at Indiana University is currently composed of eight historically Black Greek letter Sororities and Fraternities. NPHC commits itself to the ideals of sisterhood, brotherhood, scholarship and community service. NPHC members include:

Alpha Kappa Alpha Omega Psi Phi Alpha Phi Alpha Phi Beta Sigma Delta Sigma Theta Sigma Gamma Rho Kappa Alpha Psi Zeta Phi Beta

For more information about NPHC recruitment or the council, please visit www.indiana.edu/~nphc. 19 Greek Community

Interfraternity Council (IFC)

The Interfraternity Council (IFC) is a self-governing body representing the 28 member fraternities at Indiana University. IFC strives to promote excellence in all aspects of fraternity life and academic pursuits. IFC fraternities at IU are not merely social organizations – they are groups that pride themselves on service to the community, philanthropy, scholarship, integrity, honor and tradition. IFC members include:

Acacia Phi Delta Theta Sigma Phi Epsilon Alpha Sigma Phi Phi Gamma Delta Sigma Pi Alpha Tau Omega Phi Kappa Psi Theta Chi Beta Sigma Psi Phi Kappa Sigma Zeta Beta Tau Beta Theta Pi Phi Kappa Tau Delta Chi Phi Sigma Kappa Delta Kappa Epsilon Pi Kappa Alpha Delta Tau Delta Pi Kappa Phi Delta Upsilon Sigma Alpha Epsilon Kappa Delta Rho Sigma Alpha Mu Kappa Sigma Sigma Chi Lambda Chi Alpha Sigma Nu

10 History and Tradition Panhellenic Association (PHA) is an organization consisting of one representative from each National Panhellenic Conference sorority on campus and is the coordinating body of its member organizations at Indiana University. Upon becoming a member of a sorority chapter, one acquires membership in the Panhellenic Association. PHA works closely with the Interfraternity Council in sponsoring such events as Greek Leadership Retreat (IMPACT), Greek Week, diversity programs, and several philanthropic activities throughout campus and surrounding areas. PHA also works in conjunction with other student organizations to bring lectures, presentations and entertainment to IU’s campus. PHA is only one part of the Greek Community at IU; the Interfraternity Council (IFC), Multi-Cultural Greek Council (MCGC), and National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) along with the Panhellenic Association make up the Greek Community. As the coordinating body of the 19 collegiate sororities represented at IU, PHA encourages involvement in all of the activities it sponsors. PHA is overseen by seven executives on the Executive Council Boa made up of seven elected women from various chapters-helping the Panhellenic executives are directors, who are also members of the Panhellenic community.

12 Recruitment Counselors & Rho Gammas

Recruitment Counselors are an integral part of the recruitment process. At Indiana University these recruitment counselors are called Rho Gammas. These women were nominated by their respective chapters and chosen by the Panhellenic Association to help potential members throughout the recruitment process. These women were chosen for their positive attitude, ability to work well with others, and the knowledge they possess in regards to recruitment and the Greek Community. Rho Gammas are trained to answer questions in regards to recruitment, Greek Life, academics, and college life in general. As representatives of the Panhellenic Association, these women are completely disaffiliated from their chapter meaning that they do not attend any recruitment functions and are completely unaware of the women that their chapter is recruiting. This allows the women to offer their time and abilities to counseling potential members as an unbiased member of the Greek Community.

IU Panhellenic Association The National Panhellenic Conference was organized in 1902 in recognition of a need to maintain high standards of sorority life and good relations among sororities. Originally, the primary interest of the National Panhellenic Conference was in organizing recruitment and compiling rules for new membership and initiation, as well as organizing new chapters. Eventually the desire for inter-sorority spirit spurred the National Panhellenic Conference to become a forum for discussing questions of mutual interest and concern.

The Indiana University Panhellenic Association is the local organization charged with fulfilling many of these Panhellenic objectives. Each campus that has sororities has a Panhellenic Association composed of students who are interested in furthering the growth of sorority membership, chapters, and the entire Greek Community. The IU PHA, although directly advised by the University, often seeks the input of the National Panhellenic Conference Area Advisor. www.iubpha.com 131 Recruitment Chairs

Recruitment is one of the most important events in which a chapter participates during the year because it is the time where they build the future of their chapter. Recruitment insures longevity and strength of a chapter as well as builds the strength of the community. Chapter recruitment chairs are a vital part of IU’s recruitment process. These hard-working leaders are responsible for the coordination of their chapter’s recruitment. Each recruitment chair serves as the chapter liaison to the Panhellenic Association spending an entire year organizing a successful recruitment process for the entire Greek Community as well as their individual chapters. These women are the motivators, organizers and enthusiasts for the recruitment process. Recruitment Directors

36 Process Explanation

Indiana University uses a deferred recruitment process to help women adjust to college life their first semester. Potential members develop good study habits and focus on making friends their first semester before jumping into sorority life. The first step of recruitment is registration. Registration opens on October 4 after Greek Opportunities for Women and closes on October 31st. After registration, the potential member will be assigned a Recruitment Counselor to guide her through the recruitment process. They will have weekly meetings with their Recruitment Counselor, who will tell them everything they need to know about recruitment, Greek Life, and college. The first official event in Formal Recruitment is 19 Party, or “Open House” weekend. This occurs during the fall on a weekend. All registered women will have the opportunity to visit each of the 19 chapters on campus. They will then rank their favorite fourteen chapters at the end of their weekend. Women will then finish their first semester, and return home for the holidays. In order to continue through the rest of recruitment, women must have a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.5. Specific chapters have requirements that are higher than this minimum – they range as high as a 3.0 minimum requirement. Women will then return to Bloomington on January 6, 2010 when the residence halls open. The potential member will then have a meeting with her Recruitment Counselor when she arrives back to Bloomington. The day after the she arrives, she will attend First Invite. At this event, women will have the opportunity to visit up to 14 chapters. The day after First Invite is Second Invite, where women have the opportunity to visit up to 8 of the 14 chapters they visited the previous day. After Second Invite, women return to up to three of the previous day's eight chapters. This event is called Preference Round. The next day is Bid Day! Hopefully, the potential member will receive a bid from one of her top three chapters. Throughout the process, the chapters and the women going through recruitment are constantly evaluating one another. Recruitment is a process of mutual selection. While the women going through recruitment are ranking the chapters they visit, each chapter is also deciding whom they would like to invite back. At each stage in the process, women and chapters are finding their perfect fits. Although this may sound like a complicated process, potential members will have continuous support from their recruitment counselors who will answer and address any of their questions and concerns.
