What is recruitment?
Panhellenic Recruitment is a process where a potential member has the opportunity to meet with chapter members, ask a variety of questions, and learn about the wonderful Panhellenic chapters on UCF’s campus.
Recruitment is a fun-filled week of activities in which sororities educate potential new members on their respective organization and share their sisterhood with potential members. These days allow you to catch a glimpse into the personalities and values of each of the chapters. Each sorority has something unique to offer, and with several chapters, you should be able to find a group of women with whom you identify.
We wish you the best of luck as you move closer to finding your letters at UCF. Remember, the choice is yours and this is only the beginning of an amazing journey that will have a lasting impact on your life past your college career. We look forward to getting to know you and welcoming you into the Panhellenic community!Questions? Concerns? Missing any days of recruitment?

Rho Gammas
Our recruitment guides, or Rho Gammas, play a key role in the Panhellenic Primary Recruitment process. These sorority women are selected by an extensive and competitive application and interview process conducted by the Panhellenic Executive Board.
Rho Gammas disaffiliate from their respective sororities in order to facilitate the Recruitment process for potential new members. They go through an extensive educational training on the twelve UCF Panhellenic sororities (including their history, insignia, songs, traditions, and ideals) which gives them an equal knowledge of all the chapters and a neutral and informed perspective for all potential new members. Although they may choose to reveal their letters, they still have been thoroughly trained to remain unbiased through the recruitment process.
During the week of Panhellenic Primary Recruitment, Rho Gammas will have a group of 9-13 PNMs to guide through the process. Each Rho Gamma will be in a group with 6 or 7 additional Rho Gammas and a Recruitment Executive Board member who will explain the process to potential new members, help them reach difficult decisions, and be their soundboard.
