My name is Trisha Porzycki, and I am the Vice President of Recruitment for Panhellenic. I can’t wait to get to know you during this upcoming recruitment season! Our Panhellenic Exec Board and I are so excited to get to know you and welcome you into the Greek community. Your decision to join a Panhellenic sorority commits you to collegiate years focused on service, connection, personal development, and a continued goal of improving our campus and community. College lasts for four years, but the memories you will make and the bonds of the sisterhood you will gain last forever. I encourage you to keep your mind open to opportunities in every chapter that you see. You are not just joining a single organization but also a whole community of Panhellenic women, who are excited to get to know you and welcome you with open arms. As a freshman, I went through recruitment, and I understand that it can be a scary process. Remember that at the end of the week, you will you will run home to a fantastic group of women who will love you so much! Within our Panhellenic community, we have nine sororities - Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Phi, Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Pi Beta Phi, and Zeta Tau Alpha. Whether it is SING, intramurals, formals, or football games, we love getting to spend time and grow alongside our Panhellenic sisters. Make sure to follow our Instagram (@baylor_panhellenic) to keep up with all of the members! As women, our goal is to make each other stronger, challenge our character, and support our dreams. Joining the Baylor Panhellenic community has allowed me to do all of that and so much more! I could not ask for a better community of selfless and influential individuals who challenge myself to become a better woman. If you have any questions at all, feel free to email me at any time at [email protected]. I am counting down the days until recruitment begins! See you soon! Trisha Porzycki Vice President of Recruitment @trishaporzycki A MESSAGE FROM YOUR PANHELLENIC PRESIDENT To all our Potential New Members, We are so looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you! When I went through recruitment my freshman year, I was so incredibly excited! But I was also overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information I had to retain! Thankfully, our Exec Board has crafted this guidebook to be your go-to resource for recruitment help, with plenty of information and helpful scheduling updates. We will also be providing information on our social media platforms, so don’t forget to check there, too! We have nine wonderfully unique chapters that all reside in Stacy Riddle Forum and make up the National Panhellenic Council here. All of our chapters are filled with amazing, capable women who want to get to know you for you. Take heart in the fact that every woman standing in those chapter rooms has been through this same experience. They have felt the joy, the anxiety, and even the worry that you are feeling now. But we as a community are committed to your well-being as a PNM, which is why our Exec Board is always available to answer your questions. The women in this building have friendships that are so much more than Greek letters on t-shirts and formal events. Panhellenic sisterhood is just another word for community, and we hope that this is the perfect home for you during your time here at Baylor. Bethany Mrok Panhellenic President @bethamrok SPRING 2021 RECRUITMENT DATES & FORMART The Baylor Panhellenic Council and Baylor Fraternity & Sorority Life have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 developments and its potential impact on our spring recruitment experience. We reviewed recommendations from the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) and discussed with the Health Management team charged with navigating the institutional response to COVID-19. The university is supportive of the recommendations and has approved a virtual-only Panhellenic recruitment process for Spring 2021. In collaboration with Baylor Fraternity & Sorority Life, chapter leadership, and advisors, Baylor Panhellenic revised the recruitment dates and format to enhance our community's safety. The new dates for Spring 2021 Primary Recruitment are January 11th to 16th. All rounds will be held virtually. January 11th – PNM Orientation January 12th – 15th – Recruitment Rounds January 16th – Bid Day More details to come about Orientation, PNMs Return to Campus, Bid Day, and more.
